Club 200 Plus

subtract Troutman's and my 2km... That's...

6.2 km!​

And okay guys... After this... We start walking to Winnipeg (2316.8 km away from Banff!) So whoever reaches ZERO or goes past ZERO, start subtracting from 2316.8km. :D

I wonder who'll finish the crossing line with that entry. ;)
 
Ack, I didn't cross the finish line! Put me down for 4.8 kms which brings our total to.....

1.4 kms left to go!!​
 
<Chariots of Fire plays in background>

I'm down for 4.0 km!

That passes the finish and subtracts 2.6 from the new total, so...

2314.2 km to go!​
 
Kms for 6 July

Off to Winnipeg I go, with a hidee, hidee ho:D

Congratulations Twinmom on being the first to arrive!

My kms for today are 13kms (3 treadmill; 10 bike) that brings us to


2301.2kms to go
 
YAY! Good for you Twinmom!! :D
Awwh. So close M2M. Maybe when we get to Winnipeg, you can cross the finishing line. ;)

Well, eveyone's done an amazing job.... So...
WELCOME TO BANFF FOLKS!​

*buys a big bottle of water* :D

Okay, guys... It's Winnipeg we go! 2 km for me... So that's
2299.2 km! :)​
 
On a more personal note... And a more serious one. I'm asking for your opinion on something....

Today, I've been on an Summer Cleaning Spree. Basically cleaning out closets of things I don't wear anymore, things that don't fit, things that don't look good on me and so forth. I have two huge bags I'm donating to the Salvation Army or Value Village or whoever's donation bin is nearby. Some of these clothes goes as far back as when I was in elementary school which was about 10 years ago (my Mom trained her children to be pack rats but I am rebelling.)

Well, as I was cleaning out some things... I found some items of personal significance to me. For example, one was a shirt with all FOUR signatures of the ORIGINAL Canadian Royal Air Farce which I will not part with dear life. The other... I'm a lil more perplexed about what to do with it...

Y'see, I've always been fat. I was badly ridiculed when I was a kid by my classmates because of it from having gum and spit ball spat into my hair to being snowkicked (they push you down and the kids surround you and kick snow on you) to just... Well, horrible things. It's probably taken me years to build up my self-esteem to this level now. And although I wouldn't say I'm 100% confident I think I've taken great strides in the last couple of years.

Now my dilemma is I stumbled onto this Class of '95 shirt. At my elementary school, we got shirts with everyone's signatures on it and it was printed and given to everyone. Now I have one of those shirts. I'll never wear it. I know that much. A part of me wants to grab a pair of scissors and cut the entire shirt up. Another part of me wants to just donate it and try to forget about it and hopefully one person will put that shirt to better use like keep them warm or whatnot. Despite all this... A part of me wonders if I should just keep it because I worry I might regret getting rid of it. My brother already told me he's keeping his and proudly showed me his Class of '93 shirt. And he reminded me it's a momento of my past... Getting rid of it so easily... Well, I might regret it later. So, I dunno...

What would you do in my place?
 
Miles For Day

Initial_C, A very personal decision. If you do get rid of you know that is for good. Maybe you can have your brother hold it until you make a final decision.


4.5 Miles (7.2 KMS.) 1:05:58 did a lot of walking / 6:00 PM / 91 degrees

Oh C - that is such a hard decision :( Everyone needs to decide what makes them feel good. Personally, based on the hell you described, and in NO WAY deserved, I know that for *me* I would cut it into shreds and toss it out. Part of my cleansing, involves letting go of painful memories, and putting the past behind me.

Only you can decide what you really want done with it though.

As for Banff - I LOVE IT!! But I'm looking forward to Winnipeg :)

With Chips kms and my 4 kms this morning we are at...

2288 kms left to go​
 
I walked 2 kms today.

Initial C, good luck on your decision on what to do with your shirt. On one hand, I would do like m2m and get rid of it. On the other hand, it could work as an encouragement to lose weight and get healthy just so that you can throw it back in the faces of those classmates who treated you so badly back then. You can always get rid of it later if you can't do it right now. And just remember, we all love you and think you're a special and terrific person! When that self-esteem starts to slip, you know we're here for you!
 
Hi, Halloweentown. :)

C - I can't say what you should or shouldn't do, but I have done a lot of downsizing the last few years - kids' stuff takes a lot of space, and doesn't leave so much room for storing old stuff of mine. I have found it liberating to let go of things. The stuff I kept was stuff I treasured, and if it was not something treasured, it went bye bye. That kind of made the things I kept even more special to me.

If this shirt is not something you treasure, and is something that actually brings back only unpleasant memories for you, it might be very cathartic to rip it up. Try taking some pictures of it and ripping those up and see how you feel. :)
 
Thanks for your comments guys. I dunno yet. So I'm gonna let it sit with me a few days... And we'll see.

Either I tuck it back nicely in my storage area... OR I will set it a blaze on my 25th birthday next month. heh.:confused:

and welcome to the club HalloweenTown. :) Tell us a lil about urself.
 
Initial C - as you said a very personal decision. I would ask myself the question "What do I feel when I look at the shirt?' The answer would determine your actions. If it was me I would say burn baby burn.

On a happier note (for me that is) its my weigh in today.

Starting weight: 100kgs
Last weigh in: 99.kgs (30/6/06)
This weigh in: 97.5kgs (7/7/06)
LOSS: 1.5kgs

I'm very pleased with result, slow but steady wins the race:)
 
update ticker?

Can anyone advise me on how to update ticker?
OK I've found how to update ticker, however now I can't get it to show .5 in my weight.

Hi HalloweenTown, welcome to the club :)

Aussie - I don't know how to make ticker's show .5, I just round to the nearest whole number.

With Chip's 4 kms and dgilly's 2 km from yesterday and my 3.3 from today, our combined 9.3 brings us down to...

2278.7​
 
Hi,

I'm new to this, but this club is my kinda club!

My name's Kallie and I started 2 weeks ago on changing my life. I am only 20 but I feel like I'm in my late 60's.

I'm excited to finally meet other people who actually might know how I feel once in a while, so nice to meet you all.
 
Hey HalloweenTown, and Miss Kallie glad to have you!

C-Personally I would just get rid of the shirt. I mean, it's really just a bunch of painfull memories, and it's taking up space. I'm glad you've gotten your self-esteem back! Don't worry we're always here for you.

So with dgillygal's 2 km, and my 2.41 we're down to 2273.7!
