Well I am not sure. I want new gloves and glasses. I don't need any shorts. I could probably use a jersey but I am so cheap I don't want to buy any until I am at goal. Oh and a floor pump. Juli told me I need one. Apparently you are supposed to check and infate tires every time you ride. I jsut ride a bike. It does not mean I know much about it lol.

they can be very peaceful but sense these ones did not make nor were they really haikus just sort of posting all over the place in a format like this random thoughts everywhere kind of annoying really but what can you do the trash smells bad i dont like snakes nor punctuation

Amen sister!

Ultimately I think the lifestyle a person lives will determine whether or not they are healthy. For example I have a friend who eats crap all the time, smokes, does not work out, drinks a lot, etc. She is very slender and falls well within a normal BMI. I on the other hand, am over a normal BMI (borderline obese/overweight) but eat pretty well, workout, don't smoke, etc. Now comparing us both I am probably the healthier one regardless of BMI. I can out perform her in any aerobic activity. I have a very low resting heart rate and my blood pressure is normal. I am healthier than her. Now let's compare me to me. If I were the one at the normal BMI doing all the activities I am now, I would have to assume I would be healthier at that lower BMI than I am now. Not to say I am horribly unhealthy now, I could just improve upon it. And there is nothing wrong with wanting to improve yourself. Is that not what we are all here for? I think many people are being sensitive about what is being said, personal attack or not. And as I tell my kids when one of them calls the other stupid, "do you really think you are stupid?" If not then let it go for pete's sake. Do you really think you are too fat? Do you really think you are too thin? WTF cares what anyone else thinks of you?

I am a huge brat. So yesterday I get this check from the US dept of Treasury. Now I remember filing some extra paperwork for 2006 last Nov because they had sent me something in the mail saying I had missed something. So I am expecting some like $50 check or something. I open it up, $703!!!!!! I almost pooped myself. So Stacy will be getting a bit of new biking gear today.

I turned mine in on January 17th lol. Had my refund by Feb 1st. Now this of course has never ever happened before since I am a giant procrastinator. Now as for DH's (we file seperatly) I will be finishing those up today lmao. I have the federal done but still have to finish the state. Speaking of 06 taxes, I had apparently forgotten something on mine and the IRS sent me this worksheet to fix it. This was back in like Nov. or somthing. Well I got the check yesterday and apparently it was a larger mistake than I expected because the check was for $700!!!!! I heart tax refunds.

I am the angriest because I actually love mine the most.

TX I have had plenty a 3 year old tantrum involving ODB. $90 worth of tantrum to be exact. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rememeber the haiku posts lmao.

Damn. I can't believe that my working has affected my children's lives in such a poor way. My poor 1st grader who is reading at a 4th grade level and is on her 9's in multiplication. And my preK son who is reading himself. Crap maybe they would be at high school levels had I stayed home with them. And the fact that I used a child carrier with both of them? Oh dear. I am sure all the hugging and cuddling and rocking them to sleep was just not enough. I am a horrible parent.

I still have boob lady on top too Susan.

Yes you will.

Hey Juli, how much weight HAVE you lost? =)

Hey all. Sorrry it has been a few days since I checked in. I did compelte the 54 mile ride on saturday with OHJuli. It was very, very cold and 20-30mph winds but we managed to finish in 4 hours and 9 minutes. My butt is still a bit sore but I feel so good about finishing the ride. Hope everyone else had a great weekend.

I was that friend, you know =) It was nice to get to meet you guys even if it was just for a few minutes.

I am finally home. Exhausted. Will post pics tomorrow.

This sentence is what?

I am leaving in an hour for Columbus!

Congrats C!!!! Glad to know you are doing well!

Sweet I will put you both on the list.

Anyone ever heard of flat Stanley? It is a book and my daughters class is doing a project on it. Here is a link to read about it if you have not heard of it. Flat Stanley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia They want each student to send out Flat Stanley to 5 different people. Would anyone like to participate? If you want to participate you would get to host Stanley for a few days and then send him back with a note telling about his adventures while he was with you. You can include brochures, photos, postcards, etc regarding his visit. My daughter would really appreciate help in this project and we would be providing all the stamps, envelopes and such. All we need is your time. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

Only coffee, which I adore. I have taken some but they don't really make a difference. So it is jsut me, my coffee and my chewable Centrum. I don't call it optimism I call it SMART. When you focus on the bad, all you can see is the bad. When you focus on the good, it makes you feel better about yourself. I am a firm believer that you need to put faith and gratefulness into the things that you do have, and you will get so much more out of life. If you can't change it, don't fret over it. Just let it go.

Zannie, you are an amazing and strong woman. You are going through things that would crumble a normal person. Despite all the crap you have been dealing with you are still out there, getting your working out done and losing the weight. Don't ever forget that. Even if you have a bad day, you can, will, and are doing this. And we are all here for you to fall back on for support.

You said bitchin hehehehe. Sorry I am obviously 5 today.

And Dan almost peed his pants when I told him what we were doing.
