Telly...am I reading this right.....you "averaged" nearly 18mph over a 35 mile road course?

That is amazing...better than some amateur racers...you must be good...what do you have for a bike?

Yes. It used to take me 2 hours 15 minutes to do the 35 mile trudge. Now It takes me a little under 2 hours and I have 3 kinds of bikes. 1 is a Trek racer (which I used yesterday) - it's a 5k bike - carbon frame

Columbia - Mountain bike, I use often but this one kills me, not as light or as fast - $350.00 bike

Mongoose - Mountain bike, Wal-mart but great bike either way. $259.00 bike

There is another bike that I never use anymore. It was 60.00usd but the kids use that one.

Finally I am able to go to the gym!! My bad foot & infection in my incision are heeled!

I did:

10 minutes on eliptical

20 minutes on bike - lots of hills!

20 minutes on treadmill - worked up to 4 miles with a 5 incline.

It was my first time in years so I hope to keep this up for a while then meet with a trainer.

It's a beast. In fact when I ride it, I take mace just in case someone tries to bike jack me.

Madone SL 5.9 WSD - Retails for $5,499.99 but I got mine cheaper from a local person that was selling everything. I got it for a steal. This is exactly the one I have, the color is different though.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
