Thought I would try to include a photo today of my moment at P2P when I won my personal challenge, God was really good and Nikki was a huge help to me.
Now rest,
Love to all

Good News
Good morning,
Just back from the weigh in at P2P, excitement in the room and success for me.
I got up at 6 and walked 3 miles just to be sure I would make goal of 20.2 because I thought I started at 191.2 but this morning when I looked carefully at the last certificate it was 191.7. So when I weighed in I was 171.2, that meant I had lost 20.5 pounds which was great news. There were perhaps a hundred people in the room of all races, all sizes and genders, some scared of the weigh in news, others just excited knowing they had made it. My friend Victor, a former Richmond policeman had lost an amazing amount again, in two challenges he has lost over 63 pounds and looks amazing, super nice encouraging guy and so happy for him, he told me today I had inspired him, I thought he inspired me, always so encouraging and helpful.
So now I'm off to see Jason and family, we go to an honest lunch of real food! Talk about a celebration. Just after the weight in and I knew I had succeeded, God really did the hard work, I went to Starbucks and had a multi grain bagel, have not had one for about 8 weeks and it tasted as good as I remembered.
I am so thankful to Nikki who led the way, P2P saved my life in several ways, when I started a challenge a year ago my heart did not feel right, my cardiologist had an ultra sound and they discovered the narrowing aortic valve, so in August I had open heart surgery and 3 months later was back able to drive after Clayton and Jerry helped me survive. Then in January I had a complicated Ablation procedure done by Dr. Chin in Santa Clara, Ray helped me get there and Jason brought me home as I remember, that solved A fib and Flutter totally, What great work by Kaiser people. Then a few months later I felt ready for the first challenge, its been a life changing experience all the way, the most positive group of people I've ever encountered, I mean never a foul comment or negative put down, just great great great.
I'm rolling the $497 into a years membership as I want, need to keep on working out with the class 5 days a week, I have a dream of being fitter than I've ever been in my life and its within my grasp now.
So this is my story today, grateful to Nikki, excited about today's success and so happy that Jason has joined Pleasanton challenge which starts in two weeks.
Love to all and thanks to God

The adventure nears its end
So I'm just back now from In Shape where I sat in the steam bath for 25 minutes, why? To drop a little more weight. As of this morning I was 2.8 pounds short of my 20 pound goal for this challenge with P2P. So I worked out last night at 9 and then again this morning at 6, I've had nothing to eat or drink since noon and I won't drink or eat until after weight in tomorrow. There is a lot at stake, $497 for one thing and the thrill of achieving a goal, one I've sought for a very long time. This time with fitness and tone, balance and strength, body fat ratio is now at 23%, my lowest ever.
Right now I'm tired, feeling the effects of sitting in a steam room at 110 degrees for 25 minutes and a very busy week.
I just pray that I can weigh in tomorrow at 171.2 or less, that is my goal. When I left to go to the In Shape steam bath I was 1 72.5, that is 1.8 pounds above goal, I hope I now have lost enough. Of course I'll walk and run my 3 miles in the morning when I wake up before I go to weigh in.
Later tomorrow I plan to have lunch at an Olive Garden, soup and salad, that sounds so very good.
Jason joined P2P in Pleasanton this week and is accepted into a challenge that starts in a couple weeks, that gym is only 17 minutes from his house. Nikki set the example, I've followed the best I can and Jason has joined the team, So thank ful
Sending love to all

Its been awhile
Good Friday evening to each of you,
As I sit here at the computer I'm falling asleep, its been a long day, woke before 6, rolled out at 6:03 and did my 3 miles of walking with running intervals in the cool morning. I'm pretty desperate to keep the weight coming down, have a week to go and about 6 pounds yet, never lost that much in a week before!
I weigh in in the morning but first I'll run my 3 miles, lost 1/2 a pound this morning by running so it works. The P2P program takes some time every day, meal prep, you have to be prepared, no fast food, no mocha drinks, no crackers, no fruit right now, just tofu, greens, great Romaine hearts with lemon juice, asparagus spears almost raw, egg whites and spinach leaves, protein drink, lots of water.
Today I took the motorhome back to Monkey RV in Manteca, the dash AC lasted about 30 minutes last time but the tech put dye in and this time found a very red and messy low pressure switch. He ordered it, it came and it was wrong, he ordered again and an hour later it came and was right. I was in that little waiting room from 9 to 1, had the tablet so could work some, made appointments and tried not to be hungry. Walked to a little store and found a diet Pepsi which I'm allowed and a package of almonds with no salt, just raw. I get 12 a day, they tasted like a feast!
I've lost 37 pounds so far and am thrilled with my new body, I can do things I never thought I would do again and I'm so thankful for Nikki leading the way.
Moon is beginning to prepare for her return to Singapore in October, boxes are purchased and sorting and items to the dump are set out. She is such a dear woman and I miss her very much, we talk often, text too and she means everything to me.
Now for bed, tired and rest helps a person dump weight!!
Love to all
Tim
