What is a recumbant bike?

The only kind they have at my gym are the short ones where your sitting at the same height as the peddals and the tall ones I can adjust the seat, but I cant get my leg over the hump in the middle. it hits almost at crotch level. kinda annoying.

Recumbant is I believe the first bike you described. The seats have backs on them and your legs on the pedals go forward, not down.

Hope that helps.

Howdy, BTW.

I haven't bid on any of it, I just thought it was cool.

So, I feel all decked out now. I got me a helmet today. Found one at Sears for $4.99 +tax. It's a juvinile helmet, but it fits me fine, so I figured it would work. Lol. If it's a problem later then I'm only out 5 bucks...

I need to upload pix of my bike, so you can all see her hotness.

BTW, Daddy, there is a town here in Missouri called Licking. It's awesome. There is a prison tehre. ha.

It's supposed to be 64F today and 72F tomorrow. I'm so excited! As soon as I get home from work I'm taking my bike out for a public spin... Please pray I don't crash in front of anyone!

PS. I was GOING to post pics last night of the bike, but damn photobucket wasn't working for me. I'll try again later tonight.

I'm going to be in MI on Friday too, thanks for the weather update. That means I get to ride... I'm singing that like RI-eyed. I get to RI-eyed!

My new sunglasses came yesterday, with two jerseys....I heart Women's Sunglasses (Bargain Barn) at Sierra Trading Post - Save 35-70% on Famous Name Brands very much.

Now if my ass would stop hurting! I pulled something when shoveling snow on Saturday. It was getting better but then this morning when I got out of the car I had shooting pain again! Ouch mother effer!

Oh, and BTW,

Yesterday I had a killer workout. I ran for the first time since the 5K, which is a solid 3 weeks. I sprinted even for the last two minutes. My calves were on fire when I got off the treadmill, but all I could think is that I'm going to kick some hills this season on my bike!

I kept on and did my serious cross fit strength training for the day too. All of it with added decline bench abs! Did I tell you I jump rope? I do that between sets to keep my heart rate up. I jump around 300 times! I want to get that up to a solid 10 minutes.

Okay, seems like the exercise blues and winter blahs are lifting!!!!

And this is from a girl with a owey butt! Woo hoo, come on SPRING!

      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!!
