Hi GR8!

Is that what you ride? How cool!

I saw it when we went Bike Shopping -- test rode it -- but didn't get it.

My husband loved it -- so he said.

;) I have just started my bicycle journey (8/30) -- riding 5 miles a day.

How much does everyone else ride per day?

it all depends. I was riding every other night but work got in the way as did the weather. We were doing about 10-15 miles. And on weekends we go longer.

I have been off bike since a week ago...kinda dreading the getting back on....know I will be hurting.

What kind of bike do you ride???

Well. I am sorry to say I am off to bed.

Talk at everyone later

HP - I just bought my bike - and this is my first exercise in a long time due to back injury, so I am starting slow I am sure. I can't wait till I can do 10+ miles per day.

I bought a http://www.catrike.com/road.htm it is a recumbent style trike. Very cool to ride - I love it!

Good night!

That is so awesome!!!!

Good for you for getting out there. A slow start is the best kind of start. If you do too much too quickly you get hurt and stop.

So yesterday for the hell of it I tried to beat my mile time from the day before of 13:39. I did it in 12:01! Not too shabby for 200+.

Cool bike Gina!

I think ODB is having some severe back tire issues. DH thinks it is the shocks but I think he is a moron. I know when my bike does not feel right. UGH. I WANT A ROAD BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay sorry just had to get that whine out.

Okay kids, we are literally two weeks out from the bike ride in Fort Wayne.

BG, again, could you post the link. I've yet to pay for my ride. Also, with ODB giving you a hard time will you be able to put the 40 miles on it?

HP, you're game still, right?!

JC, Do you have any pending projects at work that will get in the way? And launches happeing the day before?

I'll tell you guys, I'm looking forward to the bike ride....my life has been crazy and I'll be lucky to get in a few 20 miles before that weekend....it might be rough, but I'm so stoked to be meeting you and riding! Could it be any better?

Oh yea, if D and B were with us!

XO

Juli I think it is on page 73ish. If I get a chance I will look back and find it for ya! I am actually getting busy here. And even if ODB dies he will die on the ride. Y'all might have to come pick me up.

JC I am trying. It might jump start some weight loss.

I have hurt my shoulder. I am in freakin' serious pain here and can't get into ortho until next Thursday. It is the strangest thing ever. I can be just fine one minute and the next I am in excruciating pain, like rotator cuff muscle. But, it doesn't hurt all the time and it starts hurting at the weirdest times. I may head to ER and then they will get me in to ortho much faster. It started 28th and just will not go away. Freakin shit. It brings tears to my eyes at times. I have not done any weight strengthing since the 27th on my arms. I am getting pissed and depressed. DH told me he thinks I should stop doing all exercise for a few days and see what happens. I started crying at the thought. Of course I was bent over in severe pain at the time, so it could of been the thought of no exercise or the pain.

Do you take rest days? Where you do NO training at all? If not you should.

I'd head to the ER if you are in that kind of pain.

The little posts are fine. I figured as much.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
