BG, I gotta try those recipes! Checked out your myspace page, hell I coulda written some of those entries. B, dude that is just wrong about that bitch ass rookieitis Vet wannabe! I hope Grumpy gets better soon. So far today, 8 miles in 30 min on stationary, 4 miles walk/jog and 5 sets of stadiums with 1/2 miles walk. Just in case any of you have visions of the Coveted often sought after yet seldom attained (Modified Japanese Mach 3) BitchBadAss Status, I am pasting a link to what I am referring to as "Stadiums" Arigatou gozaimasu http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z25/str8jacket29/Stadium.jpg JC

J. I love the cycling gansta bitches comment. I wish I would have read your posts before I went. There were 4 other people sitting at the table when I got there. I sat by and across from two people I don't even know. There was no way for my sister to even speak to me based on the noise level and the seating arrangements. No one offered to shuffle around either. My sis offers me half her salad! What the hell happened to soup? I declined. When the waitress returned, everyone else had already ordered by the way, I ordered an unsweet tea. She brought me sweet tea, I had my first pure sugar rush for the year. I asked what the soup of the day was "we don't have any soup today" I said "just bring me cottage cheese with fruit please" she returned with cottage cheese only "we are out of fruit and I could not find any applesauce either, would you like something else?" I replied silverware please. She brought me a fork. Everywhere I looked I saw sloppy joes, spaghetti and hamburgers. The need for self-control may be my reality after my upcoming surgery, I was an OAK! I don't know how many more times I can be this strong, so I calmly eplained my point of view to my sis. She said she respects that view and we can meet outside of a diner type setting from now on. I literally feel as if my head is going to explode! I feel as if I have almost busted my teeth out of my jaw from clenching. I don't ever remember feeling pressurized like this, ever. I hope with a strenuous enough workout, that this pressure will leave me. JC

Ok, I have to vent! I am about to blow a freaking Ass gasket! I have been stuggling with food since my complete unfill. I have remained positive, I have increased my activity level. I have been losing the fight. I add weight then I fight it off only to add it back again. This has been a huge stuggle, I have tried not to cry-baby or complain. I feel I have been strong. Then today while I am sitting here trying to keep it together, and failing miserably, my sister calls pretty much tells me we are meeting for lunch by sending me on a guilt trip. When I told her I have been trying to avoid food and resturaunts she had the nerve to tell me "I have been doing the same thing, you can just order soup that's what I am going to do" Deep breaths must take deep breaths and count to 3 or 4 million! JC

:-) :-) :-) :-)

D, I sure hope that recipe is yummy! Also waiting anxiously for bike pics. B, stairs punishment is only for "Modified Japanese Mach 3" BitchBadAss Status. Patience Grasshopper, Patience. JC

Damn IT people! Well except for IT people named JC that is!

We haven't had that disscussion yet, but I would welcome having it replaced. JC

It's great fun. I love to go, I need a smaller boat now because I weighed 330 when I bought the last one. str8jacket29 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Also have a pretty cool layout on my myspace account. MySpace.com - JC - 40 - Male - DADE CITY, Florida - www.myspace.com/str8jacket29 JC

Have you seen the Kayaking pics on my photobucket account? Chazz is one of my favorite places to go.

I may have to bring my kayak with me! I hope everyone is well. JC

Yvonne, thanks, I still am amazed that I can be inspirational. The insomnia has been better lately. Someone on another thread suggested a hot tea, it's sleepy time from Celestial Seasonings and it works great! I got up early this morning in order to workout, I am trying a split workout for the next couple weeks. Stationary Bike in the morning and walking/jogging at night. I try to either bike or kayak on the weekends just to keep the routine from getting to boring. The hamstring is very tight, but it loosened up enough for me to get a 8mile 30 minute session in this morning. I am shooting for a 15-16 mile 1hour session tomorrow morning. I haven't been complaining too much about the hunger without fill this go round because this may become my reality for a long time, so I am just trying to adjust. I was very disappointed with the scale this morning I have jumped up 10 pounds! I hope some of that is muscle, please God let some of it be muscle. One thing is for sure I am not sitting here feeling sorry for myself. I am determined, committed and very focussed. At least for now! :-) BTW hope you find some peace in your home life. We all deserve that. JC

BG, I will have to tell the whole story when I get up there, it was pretty funny. J,HP, How are you guys doing? I heard a national weather report that said there was some severe weather up there. BG did you guys get any of those storms? JC

If I see one I will have to check it out. I have been to Detroit once, on my way to Roanoke Va. What a trip I got off a jumbo jet and on to a twin engine "crop Duster" type plane. I will never forget that trip. JC

I have heard of Iced coffee, not the Tim Horton's

I hate stairs too, but I remember how much they did for me at football practice. Yesterday was our third day in a row of record breaking heat! I have never heard of such a thing as that ice coffee. JC

8 miles in 30 minutes! Not a bad start. BG, I am going to try that plan you posted. We'll see how it works out. Now, if I can just get myself out to the High School to do some "stadiums"! JC

Hey Karla, Glad to see you check-in! I go in for surgery on Sept.5. They will either repair or remove the band. As for the jump boots you really have to warm-up before showing-off ! Wow the old hamstring is hurting. I am glad you are working out, I am staking my survival on exercise in case they remove the band. It's 4:30 am and I am getting ready to jump on the stationary! JC

Hey, Jenn! Welcome aboard! Do you bike ride too? Yes everyone it is just after 4:00 a.m. I am getting on the Stationary, watch out! JC

4 miles in 50 minutes with a pulled hamstring. I cannot express how good it felt to get out there and exercise. JC

No, I wouldn't. I never thought I would be so angry if I didn't exercise for 3 days either. I felt like a slug until I got out there and I haven't seen any sign of that arm biting dog either! I feel great right now! (pulled the hamstring showing off the jump boots!) What a nerd. JC

4 miles in 50 minutes with a pulled hamstring. I cannot express how good it felt to get out there and exercise. JC

OH no! Are we allowed to talk to heathens on this thread?? Note of caution, when "showing off" the new cool freaking jump boots, be sure to go ahead and warm-up, as to avoid a very painful hamstring pull. WOW that hurt. Not bad enough to keep me from walking tonight, but it hurt. I hope I don't have to feed the trail dog tonight, I have had enough pain for one day! B, I have no doubt you will be able to increase your status after healing. It still makes me sad that you have weeks to go while remaining only a "Stud" our prayers are with you! BTW, there have been fewer women flirting with me on the singles thread since I achieved bitch status! They must feel threatened. lol I'm starting to get a complex. HMMMMmmmmmm JC

BG, glad you have that temper under control!!!! I can't stand "Snarky" people. JC

I could just imagine you all getting together and fixing her. I am feeling better just thinking about it. That happened a couple months ago except my "friends" called ex-wife. Not fun, John isn't 18 yet! JC

Oh Hell BG, you got do that ride, there is a T-shirt involved! I'm up for just about anything. I noticed there is a hundred mile ride available. :-) J, Diva out if you want to, there shouldn't be any pressure. I personally am just being a big kid as usual, I haven't "camped" in my new Hammock toy yet and it is killing me. D, I am not sure why I was feeling bad this morning, but I am much better now. I have cut my diet back due to the weight creeping back up, I have been keeping my frustrations bottled up as much as possible. I do not want to get into the habit of whining about my situation. I have also had an ex-girlfriend bothering me, it is starting to wear me out. JC
