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...

Why is it so easy to eat like an elephant when it is raining outside....like the rain makes it ok to eat???

And once again this year, I am jealous of all of you who have rides to do.....how come my city doesn't have them...this sucks!

B, see how much fun it is?????

Uh oh, ZZ is one of those ya'll folks....I forgot about that....

Man I ate like crap yesterday....don't have any excuse...just did it.

I am. Though I never said it until I was about 12 and my Aunt from Texas moved in with us. Lol. So thats where I get it from.

I also say 'soda' instead of 'pop' or 'cola' or 'coke' or whatever else ppl call it.

In my part of Ohio we say soda. Pop is your dad.

People order Coke when then mean cola though.

Oh and sweet tea isn't available unless you go some place that's "southern", otherwise you get unsweetened tea.

A few years ago I was in Mississippi for my cousins wedding and was pretty damned dumbfounded when the waitress at a restraunte asked us if we wanted "Sweet Tea or Unsweet Tea." all in her southern accent. Haha. I'd never heard of such a thing before!!

More places are serving sweet tea now. I don't like it though. A friend of mine is from Georgia and she makes it homemade. She puts like a pound of sugar in each pitcher!! Yuck!

I'll take it with Splenda, thank you very much!

I like my tea plain... just like tinted water. Lol.

Zoe loves the fuzzy flops!!!!!!!! She was thrilled and was happy to have a pair for the BFF!

They are tooooooooooooo cute.

Thanks so much!

I did run three miles today. I didn't want to do it, but I did it.

I get a gold star on my exercise chart.

Aww. so glad she likes them!! :blushing:

anyone out there?

I'm here.

Been a long rough day for me...

Happy Memorial day weekend everyone!

:cursing:

Hi ZZ!

I've had the worst week. I am on call again tonight. Ugh. So tired. I sure hope I don't get called in. 7 am can't come soon enough for me. I can't sleep when I'm on call (too wound up).

Okay, enough complaining. Tell me about your day...

Well... had a guy die. Of course since I work oncology this happens more than I'd like. But still... even when an old man with metastatic cancer is on comfort care only... it's still sad and draining for me. I think it's more the family than the actual dead patient.

Then I come home to find that my baby (my 2 year old male cat) is again having trouble peeing. He tried for 3 full minutes (I timed him) and wasn't able to pee a drop. Not even 2 weeks ago he was at the vet for doing only dribbles and is now on a prescription food. He just finished his last antibiotic on Monday. I'm just so DRAINED!! He's my baby. So yeah. He's at the Vet for the night, they were going to cath him to empty his bladder and get a specimen. She's going to call me tomorrow with ... I dunno. Hopefully that he's cured. Lol. I just miss my baby.
