Granny on Wheels.....



Recommended Posts

Well I have decided I might like riding instead of walking for excersize so me and my sister have bought Bikes ...there are many Bike tracks in the area....I am sure we will look a sight... and maybe we should invest in training wheels too , its been many years ..

My cheeky son is charging up the video camera he reckons we could win on Funniest home Videos...Cheeky Brat ... icon_e_confused.gificon_lol.gif

Here is the Bike I have ordered.....should be here next week sometime.....:frown:

Way to go gal! I have a new bike in the garage also... but not enough nerve to ride it! hips and knees hurt too much now, to risk falling off! But maybe a bit further down the line...who knows? But..as for you..ENJOY! :o

Well the Bike arrived yesterday afternoon ...I am excited and also a bit scared its been well over 30 years since I have been on a bike (I hope it comes back to me) ..I am off to take my parents shopping and for lunch out hopefully hubby will put the bike together for me and late this afternoon we will go over to our factory (which has a big parking area ) its in a nice quite street in an industrial area so I will have some privacy while I see if I remember how to ride ..lol..

excited and a little scared....

Have a Good Friday / Thursday evening all my LBT mates ...and a great weekend ...

I DID It.....

Yes I had my first ride today , with my sister .. Hubby Joe and son David came with us to the factory and we practiced for 45mins late this afternoon , I was so scared and very wobbly but didn`t crash and didn`t need training wheels , I think a few practices at the factory (when no one is at work) we will be o.k the industrial area is really quite too so we will go around the block as well ....

Here I am , I hope the excersize helps with the weight loss , but it helps with my mood I felt so good and happy to be actually outside doing something ....

I hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend all...

Good for you! I am not ready for biking, as last time I did I got bike, butt. I find the seats uncomfortable. But, since I have lost as much as I have, might have to try it myself. When I do it at the gym on stationary bikes, I still feel uncomfortable.:)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
