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...

YES YES WE DO. WELL IT IS AFTER 11 AND i NEED TO GET IN BED SO I CAN GET READY FOR MY TEST....YUCKKKKK

HOPE IT DONT HURT TO BAD

IF you are getting closer to J in age, you are getting close to me. I turned 40 in Jan.

Yes, we are planning on 50 miles at least each day. I think I can do it. It is so different than it use to be

you know...you could take a break and let me catch up....JUST SAYN!!!!!:0

LOL...but I have so few miles to go to get to my goal, I would like to go over my goal by 500 or so...that would be awesome.

You will do great!!! It is just a little uncomfortable, but not bad...besides you are a tuffy....you ride a bike!

Can't sleep. Have a headache. Therefore, I am up. Wishing I was sleeping.

Well, I see this thread is super busy today.

Going for my MRI today. Gotta see why I keep getting headaches and I can't hear out of my right ear. Brother, I hate these machines....BUT, I will say, I was almost 300 last time I was in one, so this should be good that way!!! Valium, here I come!!

Good morning, my new biking friends! Last night hubby got a bike!! Now I have a biking companion when I want one (sometimes I won't LOL). We went last night for our first ride and he wanted me to show him the route I take. He was impressed as I start out with a big hill (some day that hill will seem much smaller I hope) and we went about a mile and a half. Seems so small compared to you folks, but I have to remember I gotta start some where. I like to start out on this hill and get it over with, but it does burn me out in about the first 5 min. Now hubby says I should go this other way and avoid that hill and ride longer on flatter so I don't burn out so quick. I avoid that way as there is a hill coming home and I am afraid of hills at the end of my journey. He says it's much smaller than the one I just climbed. What do you think? Is it better to build strength on the biggest hill and go shorter? Or would it be better to ride longer, flatter? Tonight we are going his way and he says if I can't do the hill coming home to stop and he'd go home and come back and get me.

I didn't ride this morning as my neighbor suprised me at the door and asked me to walk with her. So walk in the morning and ride at night. Oh and I am down 2 more lbs today!! YAHOO!!

Good job on the two pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats great. As for the hill, I have a very small bump by my house that I use to call a hill. I had to walk up it when I first started. I haven't walked my bike for a long long time now. I think, try it your hubbys way and see. you might surprise yourself.

AND what a great hubby, to go home and come get you!!! Sounds like my hubby, so willing to help you in any way, shape, or form to succeed!! GIve him a big hug and kiss from me!! That is a great man right there!

I am going to do at least 27.8 miles tonight to get to 200 miles or below for my goal this season. Then a couple of more weeks, I should hit goal for myself.

I sure think so. I will report in tomorrow and let you know how 'his way' went. Plus it is prettier that way as we can go on a trail around some little lakes in our subdivision.

I Heart riding my bike to work. Its going to rain soon so i am going to sneak it into my office. But not meant to rain on way home.

D!!!!! You are the sweetest person I could of ever met!!!! Thank you~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, we got in a little over 10 miles this morning after my test. The 2 girls wemt, and we got about 5 miles in the ride and she noticed her handelbars were crooked....BAD

So, we deverted over to the bike shop and waited for him to open so he could fix them. Got them fixed, and they were done...they wanted to stop riding...I was not happy.....we did finish and that was a ok warm up ride for tommorow.....

kind of dissapointed to tell you the truth

n

I feel you on the disappointment. Thats how it gets sometimes when my DD goes. She lolligags around and pedals really hard, then stops pedaling for a long time, then she is way behind, then she passes and stops pedaling and then all of a sudden she is done. We are 10 miles from home and she wants to be done. I think when she goes it is just going to have to be a recreational ride, then I won't get disappointed!!

Went for the MRI and will hear Monday hopefully.

I think we are going mountian bike riding tonight, so not many miles, just hard work!!!

i see you on here J, hi, hope your having a great weekend!!
