Can't do 5K on May 3rd!

Hey Folks,

Since I made my weight goal, I have been trying to achieve another goal... 

I have been working myself up to walking the 5K (3.1 miles) in Providence on May 3rd by walking at Slater Park, rain or shine, each day. I'm up to 4 miles now!

However, just got a phone call from my ENT doc. Cardio has cleared me. So, I'm having my inner ear surgery on April 28th.

My doc is transferring (We're military; he's Navy) so unless I want another doc to do my surgery at a later date, I have to go with the 28th so he can also give me my follow-up care.

I'm so disappointed!!!  

Either way, I'll be there! At the finish line...cheering you on!

Lots of Love!

Jules

 

Jules,

You have been such an insiration to so many...now it is time to take care of you! We need you to take care of that ear, so you can listen to all of our whinning!

I was recently looking at your bi-monthly pictures, I can't wait to show them to my mom! I continue to lose weight, but now that my appetite is coming back, it is becoming a struggle!. Just yesterday, we were celebrating my mom's b-day. Cake and Ice cream was served and I took one bite of cake, it was ok...not to die for, then one bite of ice cream...it tasted so gross! I picked up the whole plate and threw it all away. I started thinking about my pouch and how you and Laura refer to it as "her", wanting to take care of it...and I thought about that, remembering that this is a life time commitment, not just something that will end in a few months.

So, thank you for being such an encouragement, stepping up front, trying new products, going to multiple meetings...for all you do! You will participate in a 5K, it will just be at another time. For now, take care of yourself, rest easy and know that we are all cheering you on!

Beautiful Thoughts!,
Ruth

sorry you can not do it I know this is something you really wanted to do.  But surgery is more important.   You will get the next 5k if I know you.  I am still going to try to do this 5k. 

On the flip side you need any help after surgery I am here to help. 

Love
lisa

I will look for you at the finish line.

Jules,
Sorry to hear that you can't make that run..This time..I'm sure you will accomplish that goal as soon as you are healed from the ear operation.
You are a very determined woman and I would imagine that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Ps. I have not been able to open your e-mails with the support group list. When you have time would you mind giving me a call and I can write them down. I will PM you with my number. Thanks

Julie ~ Hello.  You'll get to that goal.....you are a SUPER WOMAN!  Glad to hear you got cleared for your ENT surgery, hope it means no cardiac issues.  Will be thinking good thoughts for you on your surgery date.
