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...

HI ! your all rocking! Ok i am breaking down and buying a road bike this week. I just can't afford a Triathlon Bike. SO i cant decide between the Trek 1.2 or 1.5 aahhhh.

Such a debate. I want to go Trek because there a Wisconsin Company and someone needs to stimulate the local economy now that the Packers arent going to (I slipped that in there for BG)

Haha lol.

Now that Favre is gone my football season is a little bit brighter.

I heart my Trek.

I would get the best bike you can afford. You truly won't be sorry!!

I super heart my Trek!!

Well i ended up getting a Marin Portfino, i j ust wasnt to happy with the Trek Shop. A road bike! me! Geez whats next.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Who's, geezzzzzzzzzzz, don't you know anything!!! If you buy a new bike, YOU HAVE TO POST PICTURES!!!!!!!!

pictures please!!!! Congrats......

So here is my fun story of the day...

So today after lunch one of my co-workers wanted me to try this risotto that her mother had made. Well I had tried the stuff before and liked it a lot, so I figured there was no harm in that. Plus I am too damn lazy to cook the stuff myself. Way too much attention needed from this girl who burns pasta roni on a regular basis. Sorry, I digress. So she heats it up and another co-woker and myself try it. I liked it a lot and went in for another spoonful. I must have hallucinated in seeing the mushroom in there since it was actually a piece of beef. Well then the other co-worker says "that was not bad, aside from the liver". Overworked, underpaid employee say what??? Yeah, I ate me some liver today. I have been sick to my stomach since then. I could have lived my whole life not knowing that piece of something was actually a liver. But now that I know, it makes me sick.

BG, just be glad there was no PB involved with the liver......yuck!!

Hey Traci, hows your day????? Have you stopped getting on the scale??? I have totally put it up and away and am NOT getting on until Monday....it hurts though, really bad.....I am aching for it...

Oh, how fun!!!!

I jogged another mile today...did it nonstop. It took 17 minutes....looking at those numbers, it doesn't seem very good.

Since everyone else seems to be missing this little gem of a posting, I must address it!

Let's see....the nearest local food store is just a bit over a mile from my house. No one, I repeat, no one else from my neighborhood EVER would dream of travelling there other than by car. In fact, I think that some folks need a wee nap after they drive to/from the grocery. They get the car out, start it, wait at the "busy" street to turn left, wait at the ONE stoplight between the neighborhood and the store parking lot, park and toddle into the store. I'd estimate that they (we) consume at least 15 minutes in the endeavor to DRIVE a mile.

I'd say that 17 minutes to RUN a mile is pretty damn awesome. Not if you are thinking you can step in if an olympic competitor pulls a hamstring or something and you're going to jet on over to China....but otherwise....hell ya! (oops, heck ya!)

As the desigated ol' lady in this conversation, I say "Give yourself some credit girl!" YOU ARE RUNNING!!! Without anyone chasing you for your purse....WAY TO GO!!!! :Banane37:
