    (((Lilac))) hoping for best possible out come for your dh! 

    Cheryl, I don't believe that for a minute...if your instructor didn't show up I would expect you to lead the class, or wear out every machine in the gym!

    Off to the gym for some elliptical.  Not too much today because dh bought a bike yesterday and will want to go for a ride when he gets home. We have had mountain bikes for years, but he found a road bike on ebay and "couldn't resist."

    Lots to read, I most likely won't catch up on everything.

    Our travels to Florida last week were changed when the most unexpected tragedy occurred last Thursday evening.

    My dear husband, age 49, was bicycling alone in the Buda Hills when he collapsed, and quickly died.  A team of people were fast to gather around him and attempt resusciation however their efforts did not work.  From what we understand, his passing was quick and painless.   

    We are now in Florida with family, and in preparation for my dh's memorial service next Thursday.  My children and I have been incredibly supported by friends, my husband's colleagues and spouses, and school friends.   We've been comforted by calls and emails from people that we have not talked to in many years.   I have total faith in God but my husband's passing is so very hard to understand.

    With our BC diagnoses, it's so easy to get caught up with ourselves and forget about others.   Life is so fleeting and fragile, it's so important to cherish every moment with loved ones.  

    LB  I wish you the very best with your husband's scans, and send prayers to you both for the perfect outcome.

    Lilac - joining everyone else in sending love and hugs to you and your dh. 

    Book of Mormon on Wednesday night was great - profane, vulgar, yet funny as heck, and the message at the end - be nice to each other - was very sweetly conveyed.  My face was actually sore at the end from laughing so much.  But oh, Thursday morning came early!  I was so out of it I walked out the door without my Fuelband, so I only earned 262 points that evening. Surprised  I've been miserable about exercise this week with not feeling good and the late Wednesday, but am feeling better today so hopefully I can start racking up the points again.

    Joy, my heart breaks for you. I'm so very sorry to hear about the sudden loss of your beloved husband. You and your children are in my prayers. And, like SAB, I am also taking your words of wisdom to heart.

    My exercise post seems so trivial, but I took an extra walk late last night, got up early and walked the dogs, and went to the gym on my lunch break to do upper and lower body weight machines, some walking and slow jogging on the treadmill and stretching.

    ((Joy)) adding my thoughts & prayers to you and your family on the death of your husband.  Words can't express the shock and sorrow of losing him so suddenly and so young.

    ((Lilac)) thoughts & prayers to you and your husband.  Will be waiting with you for results.

    Annie, I know what you mean but fear not to post.  Exercise brought us together; love keeps us together. 

    7.92 km = 4.92 miles walked since last post.  ♥

    Thank you for the thoughts and prayers.  Please keep posting exercise.  I got in the swimming pool this morning with DD and paddled around a little bit.  Also got in a long walk to customs at the Miami Int'l Airport yesterday, felt so good to move after a long flight.  

    Sigh ..... this has been a very long week. Cry

    O my gosh Joy!  I don't know what to say other than I am so very sorry.  Stay strong.  Major lesson in that we never really know what life will bring.

    I am off for a group ride today and then the Tour de Peaks tomorrow.  I think I will stop by Bakery Nouveau on the way to today's ride.  Major urge for good French pastry.

    Ferry ride both ways to the start of the ride, so that should be fun too! - Claire

    Walked my 2.5 mile route this morning, now headed to central WI to meet up with a BCO sister from the WI ladies thread.  Will stay overnight and have a campfire and some beers, then I'll be home tomorrow in time to cook pot roast for supper. 

    I am bringing the bottle of Helga's Red.  It was bought for a Sculpted Sisters weekend in Minn two yrs ago but we never drank it.  Didn't drink it in Chicago last year, and couldn't mail it or fly with it this year, so maybe the time is now.  ♥

    Had a very fun visit with my old girlfriends. I will be back to the exercise mode tomorrow.

    Just wanted to let you know how privileged I feel to be able to hang out with all of you caring, brave, kick-ass ladies. Kiss
