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...

To make a long story short one was trying to order and items this morning but couldn't because it was listed as inactive in our system. She was having a fit yelling "i don't understand who did this blah blah blah" well i knew who did it. It was her. She inactivated the item herself last month. I kept that to myself while they were running around here all stupid like. It was funny.

SO I had like half of an over easy egg and half a piece of rye toast. NO pain or anything. I think I was eating too much before causing the pain.

too funny...people are soooo dummm...

DONT FORGET BUG SPRAY!!!!!

Bug spray and sunblock are already packed =)

Korrine gets baseball sized welts from mosquitos.

sunblock? OH no! I'm gonna have to borrow some. I do have the bug spary!

got a whole bottle of coopertone sport...no worries...

We are heading out now......you guys all be careful!!!

You can borrow away that's what i brought it for.

You be careful too. See you this afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!

You all are so encouraging. I haven't road my bike in months. Matter of fact I am too ashamed, I think its been even longer. But the weather here is great for a change. I think I am going to wait until my dd gets home from school and do a mile or 2 or 3! The only thing is I am scared to death of loose dogs.

Hi Catchup

Don't let those dogs keep you in the house! If you see one coming at you yell. "NO!" in a big loud mean voice. Most dogs know, "no".

Keep us posted with your progress!

I smell like a fryer. Long story, but I was frying okra of all things for the last hour.

Ugh.

Thanks a lot. I will try that. I really am a coward. But I will go out today and ride for the first time in a long time.

J iam on my way out. Have a good trip and see ya later!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm leaving work today at 2:30!!!!!!!!!

I'll be there earlier than I thought.

Well, here it is Saturday. And it looks like it is just me. Hmmmm wonder where B is? I am getting sick, and I have a lot of homework to do, so I am NOT happy about all of that.

I wish I had the same thinking about weight loss as I did five months ago. It seems like, it is down on the bottom of my goals right now. It sucks.

Hi D - was out having lunch and a movie with my wife. I hear ya on the weight loss priority. It's one of the topics that I brought up with my shrink the other day. Work, school, etc., all seem to take priority after some intial "honeymoon" period. Hope you're feeling better.

BG, HP, J, CP - hope you had a fun and safe trip. Can't wait to hear about it when you get back home.
