I found this which would be pretty sweet for anyone who wants to do this with me next year. Or those who might be lurking on this thread and are just beginning to bike ;)The week long ride training program is a few pages in. http://www.lmb.org/pages/Resources/edu_adv/mdchtrain.pdf

Well since I don't think my weigh in is going to go well tomorrow I decided it was time to check the numbers. I have lost 7 inches since last month. 1 inch each in the chest, each thigh, hips, waist, 1/2 inch in each calf and in each arm. Can't complain too much =)

JC you are such s friggin rockstar.

I really seriously think we should do it next year. It rides right through where I am going camping!!!

This is why I am so glad that my psych has a lapband. She knows what it is like.

I am so totally in. Provided I can put some money away for the occasion lol.

Crap I have not been over at the Vegas thread. SO it is really going to happen? I so want to do that ride next year.

Who wants to come to Michigan for some of this next year? West Shoreline Tour, League of Michigan Bicyclists

I saw OOTP yesterday and I must say I really think the only thing it had in common with the book were the names of the characters. I know it was a long book made into a short movie but I really feel like they changed too many things, and left out too many things.

Ready to Lose, the scale thing is what is going to kill me on vacation. I weigh in on Fridays so I will weigh in next Friday July 20th and then I have two weeks vacation. I won't be back to work until the 6th of August so weigh in won't even be until Aug 10th. I am going to try really hard to stick to that. To not change my day and just make it the 3 weeks in between weigh in. I only weigh on one scale, which is at work. It is a scary thoght for me.

Great job guys!

Yeah I totally had popcorn at the movies and a small mint polar swirl from A&W. Aunt Flo has now been fed for the evening. Other than that the day was great so I don't really mind it too much.

Sweet I own like all of those spices lol.

Juli you can have some of my ass. I could probably balance a tray on mine. I better take out an insurance policy on it like JLo. I did not do any riding today. Today was a rest day for me. My rump is very sore and needed it. I had a decent day at work. Something pretty cool happened but you are gonna have to PM me if you want to know it since I am not sure who may be reading this. It is just funny how things work out sometimes. As for crotchface I wrote a long statement as to what she said and did for my boss to take to HR with her. I don't know if it will help but at least it is documented. I took DD and DS to see Harry Potter. Don't waste your money folks. The only thing it had in common with the book was the characters. The movies just progressively keep getting worse. Eating wasn't too bad today though I did have popcorn and got a mint polar swirl from A&W. Those things are amazing. But hey Aunt Flo is here so it's okay.

BG was having herself a nice long nap lol. I went to bed pretty early. Blah 4:30am is too early to leave for work. I am feeling a bit better now. I had a long talk with DH last night and he said that there is no reason I should let this bitch drive me off my shift. Then she is going to get what she wants. I am going to grit my teeth and bear it. Eventually something better is going to come up in my field (I have a BA in behavioral science) and I will be able to get the hell out of there. Ideally I want to work at the teen health center as a drug counselor. There was a position last October available but I had not been in the system 6 months so I was unable to transfer. So I will just have to wait it out. Luckily I do have some great friends that work in other departments so I will just have to lean on them a little bit more. And my Mom who unfortunately is a lot of the reason these ladies dislike me. Before our department was created she was their boss. And she is the one who got me hired. They think that the reason I get everything is because of her. Not true. She may have gotten me hired but I have done all the work to get where I am. I work my ass off. But you know what I can't let this bother me. I cannot be having panic attacks and ruining my home life over work. I will drop it at the door when I leave there today. I will come home, take DD for a bike ride, go see Harry Potter and take DD to ballet. Today will be a good day and I am not letting anyone ruin it!

My 6 YO DD was excited to watch it with me to see the surgery that Mommy had. It was interesting to finally see a band on there.

Believe me I have been looking. However I get paid pretty well and have yet to find something that pays more. I am trying to be a bit selective in what i choose when i transfer because once I do I have to stay there for at least 6 months. There is a job I have my eye on and if I took something else and that opened up before the 6 months is up I would be devastated.

Okay I said I would post the work thing so here is a cross post from another thread. I cannot stand one more minute of the C U Next TuesdayS that I work with. One woman in particular is making me miserable. I feel like I am in a hostile environment. Who am I kidding? I am in one. I dread going to work every single day. My boss is great and I love my job but this woman is a miserable excuse for a human being. I requested today that I get my shift switched. I loathe working afternoons but just being away from this lady would be worth it. Eventually she is going to shoot herself in the foot but I just cannot deal with it anymore. I can't wait for that to happen. I am having freaking anxiety attacks just worrying about what my day is going to be like. I am a tough girl but the constant bitching and blatant rudeness and shit talking 5 feet away from me has got to stop. I know talking to my boss is just going to make it worse. Crotchface (that's my name for miserable lady) is going to get written up and I know it is just going to make things worse. She needs to be fired and be gone. She has turned everyone against me. I come to work and do a good job and really "get" what I am doing. The other women (there are 7 of us) in my department just don't get it. It is not my fault I was born with common sense and a decent brain. It is also not my fault that I have only been there a little over a year and I can run circles around all of them. I don't gloat, I don't throw things in their faces. I try to help and if I say anything about a problem they are having to try and help solve it they accuse me of trying to act like their boss. I have gotten to the point where I don't even voice my opinion anymore because I don't want to deal with the backlash. These are 50 year old women I am dealing with, but they act like they are in junior high. I should not be having damn panic attacks because I have to go to work. I am just thinking about work and I want to throw up. I have never been treated this way and I don't know how to handle it. I need a friggin cigarette and i don't smoke anymore. At least I am too sick to my stomach to eat. I have been thinking about it but I just want to puke. The last thing I ate was a Protein shake at like 3:30. If that is actually considered eating. The last solid food I had was at noon. That is the lowdown on my work life. It is like that everyday but today I finally broke. I managed to get out in the parking lot before I started to cry. Another co-worker from another department saw me walk out and came to my aid. Thank goodness. She made me feel a lot better but the anxiety is still here. I seriously do not know what to do.

Deanna of course you can come! We are leaving on the 22nd. It seriously cannot come quickly enough. I cannot stand one more minute of the C U Next TuesdayS that I work with.

Yeah but that's okay. We can still go there and bitch. Sometimes comfort is nice too. I did it mostly to keep the July challenge a happy thread lol

Oh and i forgot to mention that I did 10 miles after work today. I had the WORST. DAY. EVER. The biking made me feel a bajillion times better.

Nope not here. Little baby crescent this morning =). My problem is that i work with a bunch of C U Next TuesdayS. I don't like to use that word but it is the only fitting description. When I get the energy to relive it I will put it on the bitching thread for sure.

I knew what the light was for lol. I was just being a smart ass. But hey if I am a smart ass then I need the light to be my thinking light bulb right? Yeah, yeah bad joke lol. The drinking I am not too worried about. Since I have been working out it seems wasteful to me to drink. I don't want those calories when I have been working so hard to burn them. Plus I don't want to feel like shit in the morning. It is the eating that scares me. When i camp, I snack. ALL. THE. TIME. So I just need to find a way to not do that. Maybe I will take 1000 pictures for you guys and that will keep me busy! Here is the pack we will be staying at ParkList Pentwater really is my favorite place in the world. I love camping there. Here is the link for the Bike trail park which is right near it ParkList Hoosier you can definitely do that. My first bike ride was like May21st and I could barely make it one mile. I thought I was going to die. I can do 20 now. Those goals are definitely doable Juli. You are lucky to have a girlfriend that wants to work out with you and pushes you!

Thanks Andrea! I look pretty much identical to the way I did when I was 15. Many people are surprised to find out that I am 27. I am glad the Jello worked out for you even though it was not the powder. I have had all my Water today. food wise I put myself on a full liquidish day after my horrid tummy ache from over eating last night. I have had 1/2c cottage cheese for Breakfast, jello cottage cheese for morning snack, some more cottage cheese and an Oh Yeah bar (chewed to mush) for lunch and a Protein drink for afternoon snack. I have had pretty much the worst day of my life at work so I am pretty proud of myself for not over eating. I also did 10 miles on the bike after work for therapy lol. I feel a lot better now.
