OH Juli

howdy Whitepants. Don't worry about catching up, just jump right in!

Welcome ackmaui!

OH D, We suck terribly for not noticing. You deserve better. But WOO mother effin' HOO!!!!!!!!!!! Go you Rock Star! You are inspiring! You have fewer than 50 to get to goal! That's AMAZING! Think how close you'll be come April 19, 2008! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO!

Mrs H. Congratulations on being more than half wayt there!!!!!!!Great accomplishment!!!! You know not to let the numbers control your mood. Easier said than done I realize, but let me say it again... And yeah, I have a spring in my step when the scale moves down and I pout when it holds steady or moves up a pound or two...but really look how far you've come in 2007. Don't let three little pounds color just how successful you are. XO. J

My hamstrings are so achy. Yesterday I met with Aron the trainer and I was talking about how I'm not happy with the routine mostly because I'm afraid my form is bad so I get anxious about it all... So we worked on form. Deadlifts, I can do um I'm at 60 pounds. I can't wait to get to 100. Renegade Rows, planked out, slow and not twisting, I'm on it! I feel it all over my aching little body and that's wonderful. But what's more exciting is I'm happy to be doing the routine, not full of dread. Now could someone please take the biscuits and gravy out of my hand?! I tell you I'm a junky working in a drug store working in this damn cafeteria. UGH!

My fills are done on an empty stomach, so first thing in the morning is when I schedule them.... I just take it easy with mushies for the day and the day after.

counseling is important. I'd not give up the band just yet, but you've got something serious going on and need to address that. In the mean time try to get some real nutrition in you.... Sorry I don't have more to add.

Dear Juli, Thanks for putting your health first this past year. Thanks for making hard choices about what to eat and how to work out. Thanks for doing the research and really incorperating fitness and wellness into your daily living. Also, Juli thanks for seeking out those people who support you and keeping them close. It's the ones who say all the right things you need to be near. I know it's a small thing, but I'll do my part in regulating your systems, keeping the heart beating and the lungs breathing and I'll also give you some flexibility and stamina you never knew you had. I'll put a little wiggle in your step, you know just cuz, as a little bonus, because all of this work has me looking better and feeling better than I have in years. I'm looking forward to 2008 because I know it is only going to get better. Appreciatively, Your Body

How cute is that? At nearly three Zoe took red lipstick and colored her entire body, legs, palms, chest, then the carpet and proceeded to walk up the stairs holding on to the wall for stability to show me how beautiful she was! It looked like a scene from a crime. I was so horrified I didn't take pictures. The lipstick eventually came out of the carpet, and Zoe was stained for a good week. Cute. BTW, save your letter to scrap! Too adorable.

D, Woo Hoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

BG, Lifetime fitnesses are ALL OVER the place around here, but not in the city proper, near the university, where I live and work. You need to migrate toward the 'burbs to get to them. I'm so not interested in that. But there's spinning at noon everyday and I could hit that a few times a week during my lunch... The idea of dragging my bike to a spinning class has potential, I heard that they happen at the LBS around town. I'll have to check into that. Thanks for the feedback.

I called... It's $35 a month for a year's contract. It's $70 a month non contract. Do I want to sign up? Oh dear.......$70 is a chunk more...would I use it for a whole year? They've got a week's trial too...I guess I'm going to try it for a week and see how it feels.

Columbus Sports Connection, columbus ohio health club, central ohio athlectic club, yoga classes, spinning classes, columbus, ohio This is the place. not a chain....

I just googled aerobars and there's a load of information on them out there.... hehehe...I can't wait to get Gloria (my bike) all fitted out with some new stuff. I'm looking to join a gym for January and February where I can take up spinning. There's one between home and work, but it's $50 a month. That's a hunk of change in this single mom's budget but I think it will be well spent. Thinkin' out loud.

Areobars are on my list as are speedplays. Get um. And you two are killing me with your childhood stories. You know I'm right between the two of you in age and though I'm in Ohio, we share the skating thing, the banana seat bike thing and the pop corn store as an industry (who'd a thought that would've lasted?) thing. I'm loving your hyjacked postings. Now if you start talking about having dated each other's friends or shared elementary teachers I'm going to die.

He's general mills...I know Kellogg has all their cereals....

http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/before-after-pictures-pix-only-4642/index72.html#post654722 B posted his pictures yesterday. You are looking good mister!

Well if you insist......

Well, I'm in 20's, but if I were to buy some new dress pants, and I will I'd be buying 18's. I think 18's will do until I get to about 185....It's so hard to say. My body is so vastly differently shaped than it was when I was a teen... PM me so we can hook up.

Do you dig 'um?

Woo HOO on the 14! Yeah on the having a butt Jeni!

There's nothing more hot than a coordinated cyclist...I have a penchant for icy blue and silver.

You all are making me HOT for some Speedplays.

Awe shucks. Thanks.

Oh Dear, B. That's funny and annoying. Being a Fred sounds like a good choice for a few rides. You'll still be cool in our book. J
