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 am pouring over maps and blogs trying to find the best bike route to michigan. Indiana/Illinois is the stumbling block right now.

i ordered a 4 x....from Juniouo SP?

I didnt realize that was like a huge size...I thought it was a size 26...ya...

They are comfy though...just should of been smaller.

that is a good thing though I know.

I am planning on trying them tonight.

Did you butt hurt on your seat

Well, I am flying to Orlando in October for work for a week, and my goals are going to be set high in order to get into a plane seat.....LOL

HP, You will be close to JC-Ville in O-Town

I am thinking of going jogging this afternoon if it does not rain too bad today.

JC

JC

Does that mean that is where you are at??> I am staying 1.5 miles from Disney at the Radisson. I was supposed to stay at Gaylord Palms, but I didnt get my reservation in time.

I was also supposed to be going with 2 co-workers now I am coming by myself. Not very happy about that!!!

HP, I am about an hour west of Orlando. Wow with all the changes iIt sounds like it is turning into one of those trips that test your ability to be flexible.

JC

yea, you are right....Not really good on my own, but will make the best of it. Wonder if they have bike rentals there???

I better get back to work

I hate junioa for clothing! Their sizes run so big! I'm happy to be able to be able to buy else where now!

Thank goodness.

HP,

Sounds like you've got some stuff with the FL trip. You'll be fine.

Hey J, you're a Genius!! Could it really be the twenty cups of coffee a day drinking pattern I have fallen into, that is keeping me up all night??

I had not considered how much coffee I was drinking until your comment last night, so I started counting today. WOW!

JC

You are not really drinking coffee? Are we not supposed to be caffiene free?

I've been reintroducing coffee to my life with a whopping dose of guilt because I was told it was a no-no.

Shit dude, if you are really drinking coffee, stop it. Hello.......and check your suppliments for caffiene.

Watch out for the banging head ache you'll get though!

I really have been tagging the coffee pot trying to cope with the lack of solids. I will do my best to stop it. Guess I have to find some other coping mechanism. Going jogging tonight weather permitting. Maybe that will help.

JC

JC, that's rough, having no solids. I didn't have to do that presurgery.

Watch how much calories out to how much calories in you do...just to keep from passing out. You know you've got your own group of mother hens over here looking out for you.

J,

Where would you suggest I get shorts if I am still around a size 22??

Hi all bikers!!! I am off to do a 23 mile run before dinner, so I will talk to you all laterz. I ended up telling my last SIL today about my band. Now my whole DH family knows. My family doesnt' know still except my mom and dad. But my family doesn't live around me, so I guess that is to be expected. It is kinda weird having everyone know now. Feels like someone is watching me!!!! LOL..
