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...

JC you are a beast!

I really miss working out in the morning but when you start work at 5am you have to make some sacrifices. Once I join the gym in October it won't be so bad because I will just swing by there after work and then get little miss thang from school afterward.

8 miles in 30 minutes! Not a bad start.

BG, I am going to try that plan you posted. We'll see how it works out. Now, if I can just get myself out to the High School to do some "stadiums"!

JC

UGH. I remember having to do that shit in high school for softball conditioning. I hate stairs.

I made the most delicious frozen coffee drink this morning. Light vanilla soymilk, coffee, sugar free vanilla creamer, davinci sugar free vanilla syrup, ice....yummmmmmy. Now I just need to get some of the sugar free peppermint syrup so I can try out my replacement for the Tim Hortons chocolate mint iced capp that I causing so many issues for me. I jsut say those words and start to drool.

I hate stairs too, but I remember how much they did for me at football practice. Yesterday was our third day in a row of record breaking heat!

I have never heard of such a thing as that ice coffee.

JC

Seriously? You have never heard of iced coffee? I know you guys probably don't have Tim Hortons down there but you should ahve a Dunkin Donuts. WOW. You are missing out.

I have heard of Iced coffee, not the Tim Horton's

Ahhh. Well that makes sense. They are the Dunkin Donuts of Canada. In the past few years they have started spreading to the US. Seeing as I am in Detroit there are a million of them around here. Plus a lot of them share a building with Wendy's including the one DH works at. And they are a billion times better than Dunkin Donuts. At least the coffee definitly is. They might have some in Indiana so maybe you will see one then =)

If I see one I will have to check it out. I have been to Detroit once, on my way to Roanoke Va. What a trip I got off a jumbo jet and on to a twin engine "crop Duster" type plane. I will never forget that trip.

JC

I hate flying. Ugh. I would have shit my pants in a crop duster.

BG, I will have to tell the whole story when I get up there, it was pretty funny.

J,HP, How are you guys doing? I heard a national weather report that said there was some severe weather up there.

BG did you guys get any of those storms?

JC

Not yet but there is a huge band heading this way that will probably hit in the next few hours. We got tons of rain the past few days. Like several inches. Lots of flooding but no real storms.

I may have to bring my kayak with me! I hope everyone is well.

JC

I want to go kayaking so bad lol.

Have you seen the Kayaking pics on my photobucket account? Chazz is one of my favorite places to go.

Ni I will have to check them.

I haven't actually ever kayaked it is just something that I want to do one day when I am thinner.
