Got the bike out today and took advantage of the warm weather!!!! Love my bike.

Thanks B! You will get your confidence back. J did not want to ride for a long time after she kept getting stuck in her pedals. I know it is not as severe as having an asthma attack, but it gave her a lot of grief for awhile. You will get it back buddy. Keep the inhaler close at hand and rock it.

Congrats and welcome Lauryn.

I was pretty disturbed by the scale for a better part of 2 years. I got to my lowest adult weight of 187 in early 2008 and then I just gave up. Or maybe it is better to say I got comfortable. But it wasn't very comforting when I found myself back at 225 at the end of 2009. I spent the better part of 2 years yo-yoing back and forth and continually discouraging myself. I have gone into this year with a better attitude. Instead of focusing all of my energies on the scale and weight loss I am focusing on two things. The first is not eating sugar. For the simple reason that it is like crack to me. I don't want to go through life with an addiction and that is how I feel with sugar. The second is training for a triathlon. I have always talked about doing it but never actually trained and done it. It's been a little over a month since I have implemented those two things and I am feeling mighty good about the 205 I saw on the scale this morning. I never even broke 210 in all of 2009.

We can all get back on the wagon and do it.

Going on a "chili" ride Sunday. Not thrilled about the cold but excited for the chili at the end :sad: Plus it is a free ride which is my favorite kind of ride.

Okay, okay. I am back in as well.

*resists urge to make republican reference of "2 million fails"*

:seeya: oops.:blushing:

***snort***

BG strolls in....

...and strolls right back out.

So far behind here that I can't even focus long enough to read all the posts I missed.

But I will say that we do have the Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka here in the ghetto and it makes for a mighty fine alcoholic Arnold Palmer.

HM...Good title for the next self-help book. Right up there with She Comes First.

:thumbup: And second, and third......

lets see if we can make it another page.... ;o)

I was reading one of the leaflets that come with the pills I was taking ... once apon a time.... it said that the Pill was not as effective if you exceed 197 lbs. makes sense to me... well I am over 197 LOL so since I couldn't remember to take the pill daily.... another problem... I switched to an IUD. or IUC as they call them today. I have 2 kids youngest is 8 I DO NOT WANT ANYMORE !!!

.

I got pregnant with an IUD.....

I am 4 1/2 weeks post op, I take a birth control pill everyday...I haven't missed one since my surgery. Can I have unprotected sex with my boyfriend? Will I be protected?

I would venture to say that you were just as protected as you were pre-op. But when in doubt there is always :thumbup: or :thumbup:

Personally I would like to thank the police officer who wrote me a ticket last week....

She listed my weight on the ticket well over 50 pounds less than I actually weigh. I don't mind paying it so much any more.

Why does every thread I'm on become the pattygreen hour? Does she take over EVERY thread here, or just the ones I post on?

What I find more interesting is the fact that she has a real life, close to home, personal story about every single one of these controversial issues in R&R.

Smells a wee bit :tongue_smilie: to me.

Which is why I totally *heart* the block feature.

Wow. A month.

I am up for meeting anywhere as well....though TX does suit my Ramen Noodle budget very well! :tongue2:

I know that budget very well...........

Glou- from what I have read those kids were not biologically his.

And Beth please don't be jealous of me because you are *almost* old enough to be my Mom. :thumbup:

Here ya go:

Yum Yucky: Feed Your Fat Cells Domino's Pasta bread Bowls

i guess what im trying to say is ... ahem... show some compasion b****!

:thumbup::thumbup::smile2::thumbup::laugh:

Though I thoroughly enjoyed your entire post, this was the line that made me spit the coffee onto the screen. Loves it.

Yeah I knew eventually she would bring her venom filled diarrhea of the mouth in her eventually. Because she can't just butt the eff out. But like you I can't read whatever her holiness wrote because I blocked the canoe*

*see pjtp thread for further explaination.

The winds are terrible right now. I don't know what gives?!

BG, look for a ride around 6/6/09. I'll be up there and we're going to do some mt. biking that weekend too, to get ready for the Muddy Buddy Part II.

I'd love to ride with you. Nothing huge, less than 40.

Traci, Thanks for the compliment. I just got my degree this weekend, that was Zoe hugging the stuffing out of me.

100 Grand Ride

That would be about the best I can do. 2.5 hour drive for me

Beth-congrats

Fanny- Holy effing crap. I would vomit being up that high.

PJTP- my boss is a canoe. And by canoe I mean a word that rhymes with punt.

Look, I don't wanna be the one that "outs" you on here, but just the other day you were PM'ing me about how to start a new religious cult. Hey, we're friends, but I'm not going to castrate and then poison myself for you, ok?

Drink the Koolaid I tell you. Drink it.

A triathlon suit. Or a tri tank top. My choice. I'll probably take the tank. One piece suits are hard to pee in.

Congrats!

Well they are probably not hard to pee in but probably hard to remove to get the pee outside of them.

Wow, I just read through the posts... interesting. The first point I would like to address has to do with education. I hold a Ph.D. and worked hard for it and certainly think I possess common sense.

Secondly, I was brought up Catholic. While I don't attend mass every week now, I did for the first 18 years of my life; the formative years and beyond. Ergo, whether I like it or not, I can't deny my roots in the Christian faith.

Finally, I've been thinking about the pastor questions. I decided I really don't have any questions for a Rabbi, a Pastor, a Priest, etc. Yes, they studied theology and devoted their life to their religious beliefs but I don't believe that makes them expert. When you get right down to it, they are men and women with their own prejudices.

For me, there IS something more than our life here on earth. It's not something I can prove and it's not something I feel I need to prove; to myself or anyone else. I would guess that's faith. I have found this in the Catholic church but I've also experienced it through people of different faiths. I enjoy hearing other perspectives because it challenges my beliefs and expands my understanding. So, I'll keep on living and learning and hopefully, sharing and becoming a better person along the way.
