2BHealthE!

Sounds Great!

Hi all - Whew! Thanks for starting this thread. What I'd have to say is redundant to everyone else. Feeling like I'm the only LB failure out there...mentally beating myself up about. :tongue2: Anyway, I do want to get on track. Knowing that you all are out there doing the same thing helps. How did you get the courage to head back to the doc? Haven't been in about a year. Shame, shame, shame...that feeling is not a friend, is it? Mary

Green with envy. :rolleyes2:

Hi all! Thanks, Traci, for your note, gave me the energy to MAKE time to sign on! Working hard just to keep my head above water this fall. Haven't been on the bike in about 2 weeks. Arrggghhh! I have been walking, about 4-5 miles 5 times per week. Helps with stress management, but it's not biking. I usually am the one reminding people not to wish their life away...but...I can hardly wait till May when I can finish with this double duty of work and school! Yippee!! Keep on ridin' Mary K.

No organized ride plans for this weekend. I am so envious, what a great way to see Amelia Island and St. Augustine!! Hoping for 2 nice rides with HH this weekend, 20 miles-ish each. Hope all is well with everyone! MK

Thread CPR here.... C - Cycle P - Post R - Reply Don't make me get the defibrillator becuz the thread is "flat lining". :confused: Speaking for myself, I am just so darn busy that posting doesn't make it to the top of my list. I keep putting sleep ahead of it - LOL! Benn lurking every once in a while. Good to see what's up. Love to ride in the fall - anybody else feel that way? There is just something about the fall air.... Need to get more miles in (and update my tickers)....Oh No!! I just added 2 things to my overloaded "to do" list. Take care everyone. Mary K.

Hi all! I..am..so..darn..busy..that..I..can't..even..breathe (seems like). D - I am so envious, part of my busyness is trying to juggle a 120 hour internship with teaching full-time + taking a class. I would positively kill to give one of the three "jobs" up. Well..not really kill, after all that's pretty bad form for a nurse, but..you know what I mean. Good job on continuing to run. I am impressed. HP - Happy Dance time!! :biggrin: Your NSVs over the past 2 weeks are so motivating! Pix are great and I love, love, love your purple jersey. What awesome weather for riding!! Going to use the bike as my transportation this week. Pray for no rain during commuting time. I can't do a thing with my hair on a good day - let alone after an outdoor shower! Take care all, have a great week - full of wheels, sunshine and tailwinds! KY

Hi All - Ike certainly has left his mark on us all, hasn't he? We were lucky here in South-central KY. Some strong winds, some tree limbs down. As far as I know, no major damage or injuries. Unfortunately, one of my nursing students wasn't as lucky. Her younger brother was injured when a tree crashed into the family home near Louisville KY. He is in Kosair Childrens Hospital in critical condition. Pray for the family. Juli - My daughter goes to school in Steubenville, OH and it sounds like that community took a hit too. Franciscan University didn't lose power, but it sounds as if alot of the city did. She spent Saturday in Columbus with a friend. I am so glad that their trip was Sat instead of Sunday! TLill - Been taking Zumba classes at the university fitness center. How long before it won't totally kick my heinie??!! Also, when will my feet reconnect with my brain? I swear that music comes on and I have no control over what my feet do. Everyone else is zigging and I seem to be zagging! LOL! I also realize that I have many years before I turn into the cute eccentric little old lady that college students get a kick out of in their exercise classes. Presently they just seem to look horrified when I show up! Haven't been on my bike in 5 days. I'm wanna ride!! Take care all. KY

Hey Angelsma! We are band-date twins! I had my surgery in Nashville TN on July 10th. I see we are also close to the same age. My DD goes to school in Ohio, and is headed to Columbus tomorrow to meet a friend and go to the zoo (small world, isn't it??) Had my second fill today (Sept. 12th). On liquids until Sunday, so I'm not sure how much or how little restriction I have after this second fill. Tummy is growling!! Mary K.

Yeah....why is it that boobs and foot fat are the first to go?

HP - Love your photo with your bike. Happiness is....a yellow jersey and a 2-wheeled friend. Beautiful you are. OH - thanks for the comment on my blog. Always tickles me when someone reads it. Hope your travel is productive...or at least not too painful! Turl - Congratulations!!!! Whoeeeee! :sad: Mike - don't know ya' I'm sorta new on the Bycyler thread. But, I'm impressed with what you've written already. You go! Finally, a lean protein joke told to me by one of my students: Two cannibals are dining on a clown One turns to the other and says, "Does this taste funny to you?" Yeah...it might take a lot of sauce to get that groaner down! Take care all! KY

Yeah, I think HH and I are going to go over to Paducah and ride next weekend. Haven't decided what distance, but we'll register at the ride, so....whatever we feel like that day! Grab your husband and c'mon over! KY

OMG!!! Searching for organized rides and stumbled across this: World Naked Bike Ride (WNBR) - Naked Bicycle People Power! Stop indecent exposure to vehicle emissions! Talk about needing a comfortable seat!! :shades_smile:

HP, Turler and anyone else who is interested. Here is a ride that might be great to meet up and do in 09. Most routes have rolling hills at the most, shorter routes are flat, flat, flat. CRCC Paducah would probably be about the same distance from your place, HP, as it is from where I am in KY (but definitely not between). But, for anyone interested it is a fun, casual ride. I think we need "Bycyling" jerseys whenever 2 or more are gathered in the same ride (sounds vaguely biblical - LOL!). For me, training for a organized ride (with t-shirts!) keeps me on track. Turler - I HATE those kind of comments! But, as I am uncomfortable thinking that someone just noticed that my a$$ is "above average" I try to think "yeah, but if I wasn't in FRONT of you, you wouldn't see it! Eat my dust, loser!" Doesn't entirely stop the sting, but dissin' the disser (even if just mentally) sure helps me smile inside. :shades_smile: KY

Yes we're still about bicycling. Do tell about your new ride! BG - How's Jared?
