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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
