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...

Slacaction, I think is who we were calling S... I think.

Come on....you know you laughed when you saw the butter churning.

I have been peeing my pants all day reading these stupid ass shirts. My two favorites have been:

My Virginia is itchy...with a picture of virginia

ANd

Come see my big throbbing Oregon....with a picture of Oregon.

I am so easily amused.

what's the link for the shirts? I love that kind of stuff too. We've got the same lame ass humor.

teetastic! ~ home of tees accross america: the funniest state slogan t-shirts and plenty of other crazy shit

BG.....great shirt!!!! that would be awesome for JC..too funny!!!!

Welcome Steph....I also ride a hybrid...I started out with a Schwinn, and upgraded to a Trek Hybrid. I have had it since July, and am looking at a road bike now. If you can afford it, look seriously at one. I spent over 400 on my hybrid, and should of put some more with it and got the road bike.

I ride allot on the weekends, but have been so busy the last few weeks I am only getting it in on weekends.

I had my surgery the end of May, and also have the VG 10c band. I am at 6 or 7 cc nw....Still can eat a whole steak???

Oh well....it is weird the stuff that I cant

Welcome again......

Hi everyone else....

Who the fuck is S?

Welcome Stef you sarcastic little shit.

I love it! Thanks!

Those shirts are great!

I messed with Texas, and now I have a rash. ~ I always wear protection when I get all up in Texas. I suggest you do the same. That state is a ho.

I Heart Amish churned butter!

Stef, all I can say is thank God you enjoy sarcasm! I myself prefer right proper english, but I do what I must, too fit in and tolerate these people.

BG, those are some cool shirts

D, how is that darn school thing going?

B, how are ya doing?

HP, you can use one of my bikes if renting doesn't work out.

J, are you going to use couch 2 5k or something else?

Oh Fudge.

I forgot I ordered some from a co worker for their kid's fundraiser.

It is entirely possible I may eat the whole brick.

Have I mentioned yet that I have let carbs back into my life?

Okay, I like to think of myself as smarter than your average bag of rocks...but that Cool Running site is a mite complicated! I guess I just need to explore all that is there to get the navigation down. I got the weekly plan, which I'm sure is all I need, but there are a lot of tools there, too, and I'm a fanatic for tracking/accountability. (You should see my budget spreadsheet and weight log/food diary!)

Stef

You and me both. I'm a freak for tracking stuff!

JC

I don't know what program I'm going to use for tracking my running. What I started back 45 pounds ago was 0-5k in 10 weeks.

Now I'm running till I can't then I walk. Then I run again, then I walk.

But I do need something more regimented. I also need to have a heart to heart with the trainer, because ol' girl is scattered and that doesn't work well for me. I'm going to have to take matters in hand, somehow with out alienating her.

Okay, must work now.

And BG, Pass on the fudge...

No way...it's mine dammit.
