Amazing isnt it? Keep up the good work. What ride are you and BG riding in this weekend? We need to make some committments for a few rides too. Need something to prepare for
  4. ZZZZZZZ!!! WOOHOOOOO You are almost at 100!!!! I bet if you go potty and come back it will go down some more...LOL I am actually home sick today???? Not sure what the heck is going on....my stomach is killing me not able to eat allot, and just feeling like DOODOOOOO! So, I slept in and am up now....going to start out with something bland and hope that will take care of things. J that stinks about your aerobars......and I am with you about parks..there is no way i am ready to do that with my pedals..I will be on my butt. TX...where are the cops in TX??
  5. oh i know....i wish i was able to ride every day....we are in desperate search of some better places to ride to get miles in, and not be fighting so much with hills all the time. It is hard unless we "drive' somewhere...but it is well worth it, as I am down again today!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOO Enjoy the day everyone
  6. are you off work tommorow?? I wish I was but looks like I will be spending my evening at the funeral home....:regular_smile: My husbands relative passed away..... Well....I am going to head on to bed....everyone have a nice week. Traci
  7. You will get there I promise..one thing I noticed from last year to now, is that I must not be eating as much because I was sick too my stomach on my ride today and very light headed...MUST fix that. We had some energy gel...GOSH that stuff is gross.....But I managed to get most of it down.....ughhhhh There has to be a better way J...it really stinks falling doesnt't it??? I am having a hard time thinking and making sure I do what I am supposed to do...LOL Defiantly not multi talented..... Anyway.....got a good ride in today, no falls...WOHOOOOOO I just hope we keep this nice weather
  8. Well, I had a nice long email made out for you last night, and the electricity bipped and we lost power..... Anyway....you are a true inspiration. You are going to shine with the band, and going through what you have gone through will give you even more determination and strength. I had a sister die at 42 from Ovarion cancer, and it was tough....if she would have had a test or something it would of caught it....... My thoughts and prayers go out to you this week....I wish you the best of luck.....
  9. TX.....Your ride soudns awesome, and yes hills are defiantly a major challenge. it is learning how to breathe when you are going up, learning how to make sure you are in the correct gear.....it is so tricky...I am doing better than last year.......and this year with the pedals.....its like I either keep going or I will proably be on my butt!! I am so sore today from my fall. I tried so hard to not whine about it last night...but damn!!!!! Anyways.......................I got to my first big goal........!!! I am sooooo happy!!! It has really inspired me to keep going this month. Thanks for everyones support on here....you all are amazing
  10. we did, and everyone was a great help.......the one time she did not have her cell phone.... Taking some tylenol and going to bed!!!
  11. Well.....Tx...my day was not nearly as eventful as yours, but I did get my ride in today....with of course a story to go with it....... We started at the outside of the State park and rode in.....went through the campground....things were going really nice. Until we ended up needing to go to the bathroom....So, I had unclipped from one pedal, and came to a stop, but before I could remmeber what I was doing, DOWN I WENT!!!! Loose gravel, hard concrete....and DAMN IT HURT!!!!! There was some very nice people there with a boat, that got the bike off me, pretty banged up...but ok!!! Than we realized our 14 year old was not with us......we ended up getting the security at the park to help us. She had ridden all the way back to the truck and was waiting for us at a resturant. So, after an hour or so....she is safe and learned a good lesson. Met some nice bikers from Michigan there, and they were super helpful.... It was a good ride...I am VERY SORE!!!! But.....I am learning.......
  12. OMY...Love Vera Bradley.....I have a store I go to, and after you spend $200 you get half off. Of course it has been awhile. I want the new patchwork one. This seasons really didnt get me too excited. I did see some Fossil purses for the spring that I loved!!!! But.....the one I liked was $130...so yea didnt get it....LOL Well, we are off to do some running and than ride this afteroon. April 10...that is next week!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! I am so excited for you!!!!!

  14. oh an BTW....NO need for cups for this chicka!!! Havent had that issue since I was 26...WOHOOOOO
  15. turler......you will get through the liquid stage.....it is a mind over stomach thing I do believe......But....it is so worth it. As far as the weather in Indiana today.....it is sunny, still just 39....so hoping for a nice warm up this afternoon. OH I sold my Trek last night too. Great family. They have twins.
  16. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Come On.....we Both Can Do This....... Lets Go!!!!!! Too Bad You Are Not Closer We Could Get Out And Walk Or Ride..... But I Am Defiantly Excited That It Is Warmer Oh..i Posted My Pictures Finally....i Wish I Could Move Them To Be In Order..??? Not Sure How To Do That....
  17. Well everyone......we are supposed to warm up and dry up too.....so that only means one thing for me....biking!!!!! WOHHOOOOOO!!!! I am less than 5days until I weigh in and I am working very hard to to get down to a 100 lbs off!!! I weighed this morning and if it is what it was today, I will change my ticker to reflect....(That would mean i was only 4 lbs away) So, going to kick some butt out on the road tomorow, hopefully not not picking my butt off the ground from falling....HA-HA!!! So, everyone....enjoy and be safe out there!!!! OOOOHHHH....and Good luck TX!!!!!!
  18. I am so glad you got a ride in. Was planning one myself today after work, but.....husband had to pick up son (and he has the truck) so, I guess I will not get one in after all. We are supposed to get heavy rains the next few days.....I am soooo tired of driving around...all the roads leading to my home are flooded...so we have to detour just to get too work. our 40 min drive is now over 1 hour 10-15 min...depending on who drives....HA-HA Well....glad you got too ride......you will get use to the tires....unclipping sure does take some practice doesnt it?????
  19. Steph!!!! You Look Amazing......wonderful Pictures!!!!!!!
  20. ha-ha JC that was funny about your teeth...LOl I made the mistake of opening this site on my blackberry internet yesterday when driving around.....It was a hoot when I was reading all the info on that surgery.....and like the rest, opened my link for the pictures.....I figure I will get blocked now...LOL Hope everyone had a good weekend
  21. caparsi Hello and welcome. If you notice my ticker weight I am not too much less than yourself, and I ride. I started as allot did on a hybrid bike, which is much more upright than the old 10 speed bikes. But, have upgraded to a road bike, with flat handelbars..so I am still in a semi upright position. They say the bigger the seat the harder on your tush...I actually tend to agree.I have a new seat with my new bike, and am very comfortable in it....(odd but true) I started riding at 335/340 last year.....I always just made sure my tires had the proper inflation in them... Best of luck...this is a great group to get information from... Well pp I am off too work...talk soon...
  22. Your On Suzzy!!!!!
  23. you know I just realized I am 7 lbs away from hitting 100 lbs!!!!!! WOHOOOOOOOOO Good morning everyone...lets pray for good riding weather this week
  24. I use the Unjury unflavored and mix it with whatever type of liquid drink I like. Such as Crystal lite, etc.... Also love the protein bullets from GNC
  25. thanks we are braving the weather and going to get a ride in....WOHOOOO
