Sleeved 3 years ago today...how did I celebrate?

[M2G 1,836]

Just wanting to say a quick thank you to my fellow VETS here in the Vet's Forum for encouraging me, lifting me up, and being there for the long haul! I know several of you who went before me OD, Coops, GT, etc. and a few of you who were really close to my date as well and a lot of you were who were after me.

But staying HERE at VST and being encouraging to me is awesome and I just wanted to say thanks.

(If you want to see my before/afters I posted here)

I celebrated by purchasing some new spin shoes and doing a double workout (weight lifting for a hour and spin for an hour!)

I have wanted some of these for so long and a 3 year 'anniversary' seemed like a good time to treat myself!

They weren't cheap but totally worth the investment and way better than cake (well, ok, *almost* better than cake...)

Anyway, 3 years is a long time to be on a message board but I wouldn't be here without some of my fellow vets and for that I'm so grateful. THANK YOU!

Congratulations! You are doing great. Your post really inspired me. I have been sleeved 2 years and 7 months as of today. I am looking forward to my 3 year anniversary.

Congrats MG! I'm a little over six months behind you. So proud of you and our fellow vets here. Love the new shoes and they will make you much happier for much longer than any cake ever could.

Ha ha ha!!! Did you ever think we would still be "around" 3 years later??

Thanks all for the great comments! You all are wonderful, and I'm truly glad to have a VETS forum...those of you who are coming up on your 3 year soon, I look forward to hearing all your words of wisdom of what you have learned along the way. It truly is a journey of self-discovery!

You look great and I can tell by what you wrote that you feel great! Congratulations on 3 years. Love the shoes!

You went with a mountain bike shoe for spinning? Good for you. I use an old pair of MTB shoes when I take a spin class and keep my new ones for training on the bike and racing. Well worth the money. Hit up your local bike stores in September and you will get them for much less $$!

Congratulations! I am right behind you, three years in November. Your dedication is inspiring!

Congrats! It's been a tough road but you're still going strong and should be proud of that (and of your accomplishments!) - keep it up, you're inspiring to the rest of us!

I don't know how I didn't see this thread.

Congratualtions! I am so glad you're still here, and you're in our 5:2 group. You have done amazing and the vets forum would not be the same without you.
