BG is coming down to Columbus to ride with me and WOW, we have a 60 miler planned. OMFG, I so won't be ready for that, and then she's going to sit in on Heather's group at Polaris. I'm going to miss you being there, Chica. :)

Ok every woman should have this book i saw in Barnes Nobile today

I HAVE IT, DADDY! Fawnia Mondey actually wrote that. I also have:

(Gotta love this title, too: "Pole Work", huh? :) LOL) I have them because Fawnia Mondey is the bod I aspire to! I'll never have it, but I strive for it. She's a body builder and ex-stripper who has a pole dancing studio in Canada. She's amazing! Here's one of my fave pics of her...love those arms!

Okay, you're right...and now I'm embarrassed. :) I'm sorry! I didn't mean to sound that way. (I edited it out below.)

I went to the camera store today to get a USB cord for my camera so I can get the pics off of it. Turns out I have to order it from Casio, but then he says why don't I use a card reader? DUH! How dumb of me! I have one already, so I will post pics tomorrow. (In my profile album.)

Hi Jazz,

Cycling is great exercise. It's a fantastic way to start, go slowly and not for very long, but builds upon your experience quickly. It's a great calorie burner!

Nice to have you here.

On the big scheme of things C, what you are doing is much more exciting than a huge bike ride and hanging at the mall.

:puke::biggrin:YOU ARE GETTING YOUR BAND!!! :):biggrin2:

Like I need to tell you!

However, it's going to be fun mixing BG with H. I think BG is young enough to say all those things I think but just won't. I'll take notes and share them with you! :)

And girl, I'm not driving through Findlay until Memorial Day weekend. I'm guessing I'll see you at Polaris in May. So no visits. Sorry. :)

Korrine was all excited to play jokes on her friends.

Then I dropped her off at school and the electricity was out from the wind storm. No April foolery there. School was cancelled lol.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
