  1. BG, can you put my part of the money to work somewhere else, like in my scrub fund. LOL, I am not too fond of these things yet, and I have yet to wear them....everyone says they are way comfy after they are washed. We shall see. BG, you know brining up your girlies part gets the guys all excited. You really should stop.
  2. I lost two pounds this week. I am happy about that. Two more pounds for my Labor Day Challenge.
  3. It is raining. DH gets off at noon and we were going to go for a ride. It is raining. This sucks.
  4. Ya know what the hardest part of my life is right now? I have been pretty much isolated from other people this whole summer. Since the time of my surgery. I have my family, but I don't work, so I have ben mostly just around my family and now that I am back to school, I have to deal with all the dumb things that people say and FOOD!!! FOOD!! FOOD!! It is everywhere!!! Everyone is eating it all the time and it is greasy fatty slimy food. Chicken strips and fries and fry sauce. That is what I had to deal with yesterday and it smelled good. And I was eating my cottage cheese and trail mix. I actually didn't look that good, but the smell was heavenly. I guess I am going to have to get used to this. I think that everyone, even skinny people, think of food all the time. That is all I hear everyone talking about. Before I didn't notice because I was doing it too, but now, it bothers me!!
  5. HP, I jost womens shorts. I LOVE , LOVE, LOVE THEM!!! What a freakin difference some padding makes. As for the shirt. I love love love that too. Whisks the sweat right away and it breathes too so you get air on your body.

  9. jm, I know, roller blading huh? Crazy ass shit right there, but it is great fun!!! I love it!!! I really get a sweat going when I do that too!!
  10. Thursday 30 th of August p.m. 3 miles roller blading 2nd day of week 2 couch to 5k program
  11. Hi all. Just thought I would pop in and say hi. I read everthing but too tired to post anything now. I will tomorrow. Hugs to HP. Tell DH that you didn't do it on purpose for gods sake!!
  12. Whos, you are definitely going to make your mini goal of 399 by the 7th!!! Keep it up!!
  13. Wednesday the 29th of August. Getting down to the last few days of August here folks. I will start a new thread on the 1st of September. Can you believe it is already Sept.????? a.m. bowflex strength training legs p.m. rode bike 23.32 miles.
  14. B, so glad you got a clean slate from doc. NOW, get on that trainer!!! Texas is HOT!!! I would hate to be riding there, but I guess you get used to it. We have seasons here in Idaho here. We can get down to 20 below and up to 120. Both of those are rare, but we have dry heat, not so much humidity. Yes, I think I need so destress. It is only on LBT that my computer does this stupid shit. I will type up a response and then it seems like my fingers are flying so fast they hit some button and my respons is gone. Then I retype it and it happens again and again. TOday it happened about 10 times in a row. Hence the nasty swear words. Fugly Sluts comes from the movie Mean Girls. One of DD favorite movies. Oh god, went and tried on scrubs today. Got 2x pants and shirts. Purple. I look like a freakin' grape!!
  15. God, you might get fired!!!! Never know what they might think you are doing in your cubicle!!!
  16. I fucking hate this computer. I get a fucking response typed up and I hit something and it erases it, in a nano second. Fugly Slut computer!
  17. I think today is FSC's surgery!!! I am thinking about you girl!!! You are going to be FAB!!! Hope all is well, and let us know as soon as you feel up to it that you are okay. We get kinda protective of our kind around here and need news of recovery!!!! Deanna
  18. LOL....JC in the trenches...I heart that. I am not so tight that I can not eat or drink. I can do both. I ate about 1/2 to 3/4 cup chili for lunch. Well, that was at 11 a.m. it is now almost 1 pm and no sight of hunger for me. I HEART that part of it, I was hungry all the time and all I was thinking about was food. Like before surgery. I can swallow, if I take small small bites and chew chew chew. THAT is what my problem is. I just wanted so badly to have restriction and now that I have it I am being a wimp about it and don't seem to remember small bites. The last time I had to do small bites on anything was a LONG LONG couple of months ago, newly out of surgery. I have to relearn small small bites and chew chew chew.
  19. Oh hell, I was going to tell you guys something. I am so fucking tight!! I am so tight!! And I mean my band JC!!! I am getting stuck constantly now. Is this what I wanted? I think it is, but now it seems like a freakin' nightmare trying to eat. God, I hate that feeling of dying when you get stuck and your chest hurts sooooooo bad. FUGLY SLUT OF a band I have.
  20. JC doesn't have an opinion. He is a guy. He doesn't get one.
  21. Awesome Ghost. I wish you the best of luck.
  22. Good job, losing. Did you get me pm???
  23. You don't want steel. Aluminum with a carbon fork at least is what you want. Steel it too heavy for a road bike. You don't need a total carbon bike, they are way expensive, but if you can afford it, then go for it. That is just my .02 about the whole thing. Also, ride them before buying them. I tried the womans bike, and the whole shorter geometry didn't work out for me well. I felt like I was cramped up in a small space. I have a mans bike, with a womens seat. Other than that J will tell you lots to look for. She may even tell you different from me. That is just what I was told at the LBS. Befriend the people at the store. It will be come in handy, plus most of them are experts at bikes. Certainly don't let it intimidate you either. I wanted a road bike so badddddddddd, remember, and then when I finally got on one, I was like, holy shit, I don't really think I do want one. They are soooo different to ride and get used to. But, it comes fast and then you are in love, AGAIN!!! I heart my bike too J!!
  24. Tuesday August 28th p.m. Three miles on roller blades p.m. Second week, first day of couch to 5k program. I love this jogging program. It really feels good to jog.
  25. Those with colds, try Airborne. YOu have to take it AS soon as you feel the symptms coming on. I know several people who take it including myself. It works great!!! I have several kinds on hand all the time in case someone starts feeling sick. I know personally, it has worked at least three times for me. I started feeling sick, like sore throat, or scratchy throat or I started feeling congested like stuffed up nose, take some of that and BAM, it is gone.
