Topic: RE: Disappointed but not Discouraged
If I ran a quarter mile, you'd have to call the paramedics...
Then, stand back as they rub the paddles together and shout, "CLEAR!"
I try to stick to the positive side of everything (is my head in the sand?) ... that said ...
Since you ran outside, I guess that means you "really ran" !!! Of course it was harder, but now there's a whole bunch of NEW mini goals to consider which will lead to your ultimate goal. This shouldn't be discouraging, it should be enlightening, and it was!!!
Hang in there and good luck! - Nancy

So we embraced it.
So can't wait to see your "P-***hink"

Get a copy of your policy to ensure these folks are correct. Also call back and speak to a supervisor. Each time I get a band-fill I get bills I shouldn't. Each time I call the insurance company I am told it's not covered.
POLITELY I ask to speak to the supervisor. When they get on the phone I explain that I have no exclusion on my policy and/or previous adjustments have been covered. I usually get the "please wait" reply and after a few minutes I hear "oh, I can see they coded it wrong, so I am going to put it back in". After a few more calls, I usually get a statement stating it's fully covered.
So double/triple check.
And as suggested, call the company. There are many companies that have help for those with little to no insurance.

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Have you tried called the makers of the machine etc. to see if they have any program for the unemployed or those who can't afford to pay like drug companies do? Just a suggestion. Or try calling someone in your local government, they might be able to find an agency who can help you.

Don't be discouraged. You will get there!! It is not how fast you get there, just that you get there. Congrats to getting to the gym and working out.
Topic: Disappointed but not Discouraged
For the last two weeks I’ve been at the gym, on the treadmill, and extremely happy with the progress. Farther then I expected.
Today I went outside and decided to job around a track. Folks state to “really run" you need to do it outside.
Well all I could do was a quarter mile. And I did it in 2 1/2 minute. It was much harder than the treadmill (which I did almost 8 minutes yesterday). It was a major blow. How could this be?!?!?!??!!?
While this setback was disheartening, it has also made me more determine.
This got me thinking, it’s just like Weight Loss Surgery. Many of us expect to be farther along than we are. And what we need to remember is, there is NO TIME LINE. No place does it say we will hit our goal in X amount of time. Only WE put TIME LIMITS on OUR GOALS and we SHOULDN’T.
Remember, this long race. EVENTUALLY we WILL CROSS that finish line. The time we do it is not important. Just crossing the line is the important part.
So in this instance, 5K WATCH OUT. ONE DAY I WILL CONQUER YOU!!!
For Weight Loss goal, ALSO WATCH OUT !! SOME DAY I WILL CONQUER YOU!!
Maybe a little longer than originally thought, but who cares.
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Topic: OMG What an amazing feeling.
So I started going to this gym a while back, and I LOVE IT. It is not just a gym. It's kickboxing classes. I never thought I would be one to take these classes. I had my surgry back in 2003 and never worked out like I should have but now I am doing this and oh boy can I tell it it helping, I have lost weight and I am even toning up a little (even with to much skin) This is the type of work out that anyone can do because as intense as it is, you do what you can do and they motivate you to do what you can. Oh man I feel awesome.
Ok enough rambling. I just wanted to tell people about this cause if its something you would want to try I think you should go for it!! It is the best way to work out and actually have fun doing it.
If any one wants info you can check it out the website is http://ckomorriscounty.com/
I know they have other locations all over Jersey, so I am sure you can probably just look up CKO Kickboxing and find other ones.
Trust me it's amazing!!!!!

Topic: OMG...I can't stop crying
I just got a call from my pulmonary office saying that my coverage doesnt cover the bi-pap machine I need. I have severe apnea, one of the worse cases my Doc has seen and they still wont cover it. To make matters worse I was told not even the 2 sleep studies I had done would be covered. This is when I called the insurance company. So I guess I'll be expecting a hefty bill sometime soon. I don't know what Im going to do. I'm scheduled for surgery rny Sept 21. I've been looking forward to a good nights rest. I have americhoice/medicaid part D I pay $46 a month plus co pays and medication. It's not much but Im not getting the benefit completely free either. Those that get it free are covered. I'm unemployed and have an income which is not low enough to qualify me for free coverage but I do not have extra money to spend on anything else..I don't know what i'm going to do..I have a big pit in my stomach and am trying to hold it together.
Topic: RE: OT: NJ Trivia and follow-up question !! NJ DINERS !!
on the topic of diners though, i'm sad to see more and more of them (and i'm basing this statement on rt 22 diners) dropping the 24/7 business hours. where else are you supposed to go after the bars close? white castle? p****hink not.
amyi dont know why i was censored...i'll spell it out. i said "p-****hink not." nevermind, i quit :) lol. these forums are too cautious.
