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...

I have been quiet due the fact that I went on my first date in 11 years!

How bout that?

JC

No WAY JC....GOOD FOR YOU...HOW WAS IT??? ARE YOU GLAD YOU WENT???

i NOTICED YOU CHANGED YOUR TICKER TOO......YOUR TURTLE IS GOING TO TAKE OFF AND RUN LIKE HELL TO THE END....

HP, it was a quick little last minute deal. I would do it again, it was nice to get out! I am glad I went.

I sure hope my turtle turns into a rabbit!

Congrats on the new clothes, I know it is a good feeling.

JC

OH JC how fun. Was she Amish? I know how you love those Amish bitches.

HP- Awesome job on the clothes. I lvoe the feeling of getting new, cuter, smaller clothes.

J- Hey at least the paycheck will be nice. I hate the overtime (like now 5am on a Sunday when I would like to be sleeping) but I love it when I get my paycheck. Inventory will be fun, work 30+ hours of ot in one weekend. The check will be amazing though.

As for me I had my little mock danish thing. It was good. It helped take the edge off. But if I even wanted to cheat right now I would be a fool. This super low carb shit is actually working awesome. When I got back from the trip last weekend my Monday weigh in was 213. I know alot was Water from my bad eating weekend but still. Friday was 207 Today was 205. I would be a fool to even think about putting candy in my mouth at this point. So yeah onederland is just that much closer. I can't freaking believe it. I am goign to have to start bringing my camera with me when I weigh in so I can take a picture of it.

J - Congratulations on the new weight chica! Average of 10 pounds a month for 9 months is awesome!!

HP - Congratulations on the new size clothes! It feels so wonderful to be able to buy smaller clothes that look better, are higher quality, and cost less, all at the same time. I can't wait to walk into a regular dept. store and buy off the rack. I haven't been able to go anywhere other than the big man store since 1990.

JC - Hope you had fun on your date. Will there be a second date?

BG - Mmmmm cheesecake.

Fill seems to have helped some - the scale was lower today than it has been since 9/14. The twins are still a little sore, but not as bad as I thought. I've spent most of the weekend working on homework. Enjoy your Sunday!

HP

How incredible for you! Getting in smaller, cuter, fun clothes is such a fantastic motivator! Way to go and keep it up!

JC

That's very cool about the date. You'll have to keep us posted.

BG

The only good thing about OT is the pay check. When I work it, it's usually a waste of time. I don't need to be there historically the supervisor has been there, so I go and make my time and a half bored out of my mind. Hence the millions of posts I put on LBT yesterday.

B

Good to know you're healing. Too bad no one else can do our homework for us, eh? Currently I'm studying the history of management theory. It's more interesting than it sounds, but it's a high level 435 class with some big expectations. I'll be hitting the books after my 32 mile ride this afternoon.

Over and out.

oh and BG, you are kicking fat's ass.

WTG with the low carb business. You Rock!

J - I definitely wish that I could outsource the homework, but then what would be the point?? Enjoy the ride!

B

B....It would stink to have to do homework on a weekend....But it will serve you well.

Looks like my riding for today is going to have to wait...my husband wasnt feeling well this morning, so he slept in, and I had already given dogs a bath, and did 2 loads of clothes before he even got up....LOL

Anyway...grocery store here I come..woowhhooooo...NOT

My oldest is coming in today as well as she is having issues with her car....fun stuff.

This football game is killing me. Seriously killing me. Fuck Chicago.

I got my ride in. 32 miles under my belt.

My restriction is messed up. Or I'm making dumb ass choices, hard to believe. I wanted sushi so badly after the ride, I went the restuarant, ordered at a few rolls and knew the nori, wrapper part, got stuck. I puked in the car the 20 minute ride home.

This morning egg beaters had me PBing too. WTF? I can eat crackers and Cookies, but not good for me stuff. I know it's the texture, not the good verses bad thing...but still. Puking in the car is not a fun experience.

Off to read three chapters...........ugh

Anyone got anything fun planned for the up coming week?

Just work, work, work for me.

hey Juli,

Well, I am finishing up some work getting ready for my trip, and than I am off to florida on sat...

I was excited...we went to a store called Goodys today..Leslee had birthday money....and I bought my first pair of HIP jeans.....they are so cool.....they botton, have pockets and everything. I had tried some on last night in the same size, but they wouldnt work...my goal is to get in a pair of Levi's...my all time favorite from the past...

WOOHOOO

On a diffrent note...my 19 year old was home today...OH my...I feel so bad for her. I am giving her my clothes....she has put on so much weight...she is in school full time with 18 credit hours and working 40 hours a week...living on her own, and eating awful.

She has been asking about the lapband but honestly I dont know if they would cover her with her age, etc.

She needs to try and work this out...I hate seeing her this big..it is so sad...and I know what it is like...

But anyway....
