Hello there Band fans....I got banded March 28th-2007.

I told myself....Bycyling would be a very good choice. Fresh air, muscles working for the sake of "Cardio". After one week passed--in April. I purchased three new bikes for me and my two sons. I have defeated many things doing that. No more not riding with my children--we ride as a crew (family). We could not conquer the hill on my street. We used to stop 3 to 4 times before getting to the top ( I did). So now the wheels have turned. My kids ask me---"Daddy can we stop--our legs are burning". Thank God I am doing well now. Now with 21 pounds gone---but just riding bikes. I am ready for the next Journey...The 1st fill--I am looking forward to the next 4 to 6 weeks--maybe 12 or 20 pounds gone...who knows...:faint: this is how I feel on many days after my ride. Today--(8.5 miles) It was walking, riding around the fair in my town--but that is what my speedometer said when it was all over...

The exercise to calories consumed graph feels like a joke some days. I know I'm losing pretty quickly, but going by those measures I'd be a toothpick already.

But I did love putting in 4:06 for time on the bike on Saturday. That was my all time exercise calories burned. I hit 5000 for the day including the basal....

BG, I discovered some liquid tylenol 3 in the medicine cabinet...I was gitty about it at the time. I know what you mean...hopefully the you can get some relief.

Can I just say .....I hate this fucking computer!!

Fugly slut computer?

I just need a pill splitter.

J - Agree that it is sometimes a joke, but none-the-less, still fun to see that I consume 657 calories and it estimated 739 due to logged exercise... What is more of a joke is the estimate that says in 12 weeks, I'll weigh 196... If only it were that easy

BG - Mmmmm... Vicodin.... I have some codeine-based cough medicine in reserve for those completely craptastic days, plus a little of the loritab syrup left over.

I miss my lortab.

Bg, sorry about your accident. I heart you!!

JC, thinking about you still!! Sending good wishes your way!!

J, how is your schooling going? I am swamped. Too much reading and tests for my liking!

HP, I so excited for you!! A road bike!! Just know that getting on a road bike is like nothing you have experienced before. It is not like getting on your hybrid. It is going to feel damn weird and uncomfortable. It took a good three times out before I felt any kind of comfort on mine. The Pilot would be a good one to try. It sits you up a little straighter. I have a Madonne.

B, you are kickin' the exercise!!! Soon you will be up there riding with JC on the 80 milers!!

LS, are you still with us????? Hope not to offend anyone with my terrible mouth. BG's is much worse though. Yes, it is a fugly slut computer!!

I heart you all!!

D!!

She's alive!

School isn't a joy, but it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than it was in the summer when I was taking too excellorated classes at the same time. I'd just sit down and cry at times. This is doable. I have class tonight and the young woman I sit next to and I have become friends. She's an accounting major so a complete number slut. I can't imagine. Anyway, we talk on the phone and it's been so helpful! I'm going to try to get her study with me for the final. Maybe I'll bake cookies and take them in....

Yeah, I've been known to bribe people with food. Bad I know, but offering sexual favors doesn't get me very far, and I'm not about to offer to clean someone's car or anything!

What classes are you taking? Are you quarterly or semesters? I do TRI mesters. 3, six week session per in the fall and winter, and 2, six week sessions in the summer.

J, oh so glad to hear you are having a better time of it now!!! Def. bake cookies and bribe her!!! I hate number sluts!! I hate numbers!!

I have semesters. So I just started and will be done right before Christmas and then start again after the new year and then go until May. I have this semester and then two more then I am done. Thank god.
