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...

LoL... D LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE HALFWAY TO YOUR GOAL WEIGHT!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO

I EVEN GOT A EMAIL FROM MY DOCTOR'S OFFICE ABOUT MY RIDE..SO OF COURSE I SENT THEM PICTURES.....

I AM A LITTLE SORE, BUT NOTHING TOO BAD...

THERE ARE 2 PEOPLE FROM WORK THAT RODE YESTERDAY AND SENT ME AN EMAIL ASKING US TO RIDE HERE ON BASE....SMALL WORLD!!!

JC.......WAKE UP NOW!!!!!

LOL

BG is just tired. I am back at work. But at least it is work in the Bariatric office. I only managed to gain two pounds over vacation lol.

BG

Did you quit your other job??? I didnt know you worked there???

I work in the hospital where I had my surgery. On Mondays I do some office work there.

Oh and awesome job on the ride !!!

BG, you need some of what JC has!!! He has endless energy flowing out of his body. Two pounds is good. Before banding it prolly would of been 20 pounds!!! Good job on the two pounds gained...LOL...

HP, that would be awesome to have some others to ride with.

yea maybe..but there allot skinner and allot more fit????

BG..thanks!!!

I want to go home, I am drained. We have a heat index of 105 today....yuck

you know what is the best way to get fit. Be around fit people, see how they act, what they eat. It might just be a GREAT new relationship for you. Can't hurt to try it!!

I know, thanks!!! But remember how you felt the other day????

I doubt our riding will be that great this week with the heat so bad. It is awful.

I want to ride....................................

Hey kids,

D, btw, cool on the 32 mile ride. That's amazing.

We rented bikes today and rode a solid 2 hours, though I can't tell you the milage, we didn't have an odometer, but we were on hybrids going up and down hills with the wind forever in our faces...it was rough, but so fantastic! I actually had to walk my bike up a few hills..I NEVER walk hills...I don't know if it was the grade, the bike or my fitness level. but whew.

To answer, Zoe isn't here. It's only me and Alison..the B&B is cozy, the town is friendly, we've been having all kinds of fun.

XO

J I am glad you are having fun.

I on the other hand am not. I am still at work. I have been at work since 5am. And yes I know it is 6pm est right now. I am back in my normal department doing some extra work for my boss.

Welcome back Stacy...your prize is an 18 hour day.

To see your post tonight J...Missed hearing from you

That is awesome you are making biking a part of your vacation....

I plan to do the same when I go to Florida.

BG....hang in there....work sucks sometimes doesnt it???

D...hope you have had a great day!!!

I am hanging...thats about all I can do right now lol.

Oh and I have locked my keys in one of the offices down here. Now I am waiting for security to come and let me in. lol

bg...i would say you have had a bad day???? LOL...need a long nice bath.....

Where is D tonight?? And where the heck is JC????

MAybe JC is finally getting some sleep.

You know my day is not really bad just long. Andsecurity is taking their sweet old time getting here....

All I wanna do is ride.

OK Ok Ok, I am caught up on my sleep!! D, HP, Killer rides J walked up hill? Was it really a mountain? Was is the hybrid Bike? I know my recumbent is awful for hills. BG, that's a good way to burn up some clock time locking yourself out of your office.

I walked a 1/2 mile, then jogged 2 miles and walked 1/2 mile. How could I backslide so fast. I overheated and thought about calling someone to assist in getting me off that trail. Thank God I wasn't feeling toooooo stubborn today or I would have tried to push it out to 3 miles...... Maybe tomorrow.
