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...

Hey all I have found a really cool website.

bariatricradio.com

You can listen online or can listen to archived shows...very cool. I found it through another thread!!

I have to stop to do a little work, and this happens? I bet there is some nympho bitch dog out there who's heart is breaking because D is going to take the BIGBOY in to "FIX" that problem. Probably just as well, I bet the ol boy has had a "HARD" week.

Ok, I got that off my chest.

The thing of it is...he is fixed!!!!!!

Live on purpose

Live this moment, live this day on purpose. Choose to create the world around you according to your most deeply held values.

Life is not a random accident. Whatever is happening in your life at any time is the result of some specific set of thoughts and actions.

Instead of complaining about your circumstances, get busy and create some new ones. Reach down into the purpose that is within you and connect that purpose with all you do.

When your actions have no real basis in meaning, then the slightest setback can stop you cold. By contrast, when you give true purpose to each day, even the most difficult challenges will serve to lift you ever higher.

Your most treasured dreams are yours for a very good reason. You are the one special person who can make them real.

Do yourself a big favor and give this day a meaningful purpose. Feel the stimulating, dynamic energy of life as you truly make a positive difference in your world.

-- Ralph Marston

So are you thinking of the glide stuff for bike riding or the dog?

I thought I was the only one that got a headache from looking at the spelling of this thread.

For the record, I don't think J would tolerate me very well, not only for the obvious, but I seem to have also developed a behaviour problem. :0)

Geez, I am answer to posts from three pages back! What a day! I could see someone building a permaChat room for this bunch!

ok, I listened to one of the shows from the bariatricradio.com that I gave you.

I love this...

on the August 23rd show, the host says "Food is not your friend, it is fuel."

God, I love that!!!!! I am printing off a sign for my fridge and pantry. I love it, Food is NOT your friend, it is fuel!!

For the record, how much does a baby elephant eat BG??? I think I may have turned into one the last couple of days!!!

HP, I love that you posted that.

An old coworker visited at work today and read my motivational quotes I have on my wall.

"The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth." Made him laugh out loud.

Any other faves out there?

D I like "Food is not your friend, food is fuel." That's getting printed and posted somewhere.

Chatty bunch aren't you??? I go to work again and there are like a million more pages! I need a job where I can work on a computer!

My fave motivational quote is: LET'S DOOOOOO IT!!!! by Ty Penington

Okay, I've been reading through different boards and such, forgive my ignorance, what is PB??? BG is up North, so I can't call her and ask! My guess is Puke Back.......maybe Purge Back?????

Jenn

I thought it stood for Peanut Butter.....but that didn't make much sense when I actualy thought! I'm bored. I have no hubby and no kids tonight......

Hey J, this site has some of my faves

Despair, Inc.

JJ, it stands for productive burp. I probably would have called it MS for mile of slime. basically it's when you wretch the stuff that hasn't made it passed the stoma.

How lucky are you to have the place to yourself?

WOW, a quiet Friday night here. WOW, is all I can say or think. WOW. I can't believe noone is here. Ok, I did second day of week one for the couch to 5k program. Felt pretty good, no shin splints this time. One more time for this week and then moving onto week 2 stuff.

Dog went to vet, and vet said that if the penis is stuck out of the prepuce longer than an hour and I can't get it back in, then to call her. She gave me some antibiotic cream to put on it for a few days, it was getting an infection. Ok, I will not talk about my dogs penis anymore. I know J is totally grossed out by the penis thing and on top of that a dogs penis!!! LMAO!!!

Hello from the sticks of Michigan lol. Man we missed some crazy weather at home driving up here. I got in a nice run this morning but I am really missing my bike right now. There are some bad ass hills going on here.
