9 months later

Well, I am about 9 months out from surgery now, and I am very pleased with how the band has worked with me so far. I did real well before and up till December, and then recently seems to be getting into old habits that are really bad to break. I am at 90lbs since March of last year, and 70 since surgery. I really want to make it to 100 by my annisversery date of getting the band, but I am really going to get my butt in gear to get that done. I bought my new bike last night and splurged and got clipless pedals and shoes. Wow.....some may say the bike I chose is not the one I should of, but for me and for my ability at this time, I feel like it is a good choice.

I ended up getting a Giant FX2 Same componets as the road bike, but has a flat handelbar and bar ends. So......no i wont be riding all humped over just yet....but...it is a big step up from where I was last year. I am nervous about trying out the clippless pedals...I just know i will wipe out.....but hey.....have to try.

So....do I like having the band...you bet I do. I need to re focus and get motivated to get moving again, and will get to that goal.
