I heart you all!!

LS, are you still with us????? Hope not to offend anyone with my terrible mouth. BG's is much worse though. Yes, it is a fugly slut computer!!

B, you are kickin' the exercise!!! Soon you will be up there riding with JC on the 80 milers!!

HP, I so excited for you!! A road bike!! Just know that getting on a road bike is like nothing you have experienced before. It is not like getting on your hybrid. It is going to feel damn weird and uncomfortable. It took a good three times out before I felt any kind of comfort on mine. The Pilot would be a good one to try. It sits you up a little straighter. I have a Madonne.

J, how is your schooling going? I am swamped. Too much reading and tests for my liking!

JC, thinking about you still!! Sending good wishes your way!!

Bg, sorry about your accident. I heart you!!

frog, I have been doing the couch to 5k program. I am about 232 or so now. I am on week three this week. I love it. I love it. I love it. I don't know if I will ever be that good at it, and I would not say that I run, I more slow jog, and I don't know if I will keep doing it after I am done with the nine week program but for now I love it. It feels good on the legs, and my lower legs are looking just about as sexy as they ever have even when I was a thin person. I also ride bikes between 70-100 miles a week so I have something else to do besides jogging. I say go for it. Give it a try.

Can I just say .....I hate this fucking computer!!

September 4th p.m. Third week (first day of three) of couch to 5k program. Jogging three minutes straight bites!!!

Hi all. Went riding this morning. WHOAW!!! I think that is what it was. Heres the story. We were going along nicely at 15 miles and decide to turn around. We are on back country roads. I am looking at my tire, thinking it has a flat. I decide it doesn't and the next thing I hear is DH yelling. I look back and he is back aways off his bike. I go back and HE HAS A FLAT TIRE!!! First on on the roads. So, we change it and go to leave, and I have a freakin flat on my bike too!!!! It is hotter than hell out so we pump mine up to see if we can get to some shade to change it. We go about 2 miles and no shade in site and it has to be changed. We stop and change it. DH is almost a bike mechanic at this point in the trip. We get going again and about 5 miles up the road is a little convenience store. We stop to get drinks. WISH IT WOULD OF BEEN VODKA FOR WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN NEXT!! DH goes in, gets drinks and comes out. We are sitting on some cement blocks on the side of the store. Here comes this truck pulling up and runs over a root beer can FULL OF FREAKIN' POP. Betcha can't guess where the pop from the can went? All over me and DH!!!!!!! Oh my god, I was so pissed. This old Indian guy, (we were on the Indian Reservation) gets out of his truck on his cell phone and tells who ever he is talking to what just happened. All you can hear coming from the phone is laughing. I turned around and told the old shit I didn't think it was really all that funny, but glad someone did. He gets off the phone and says, sorry about that, it just happened. Of course, I just looked down because my claws were out and I was ready to pounce. DH says its okay. IT WAS NOT OKAY, BUT WHAT THE FUCK AM I GOING TO DO ABOUT IT. ITS NOT LIKE HE DID IT ON PURPOSE. I am still pissed because we are freakin' covered in sticky pop, and these freakin' bees all of a sudden show up and think that we are lunch, I guess. Anyways, I am home showered, fed, and happy once again. Washing clothes now. Oh brother. What a bad ride, but I still had fun.

September 3rd a.m. 35 mile bike ride

Oh my god, I hope you are ok JC. Be freakin' careful.... Good god, you are going in for surgery here in a couple of days!!! 80 muthaeffin miles????????????????????? You are a freak!! I wish my boyfriend was like you!!!! I HAD to say that. Shit I got in a measly 32 miles this weekend. Better get up in the morning and go some more then. You guys really are inspiration!!!! Got done with my second week on the couch to 5k program. I am loving, loving and loving the shit out of it. It is great!!! I thought my legs were getting shapely from biking but damn....this jogging really has an effect on your shape of your leg muscles. WAY FREAKIN COOL!! So tomorrow we are off to in laws for BBQ......hmmm, I can't even think about this tonight. I am soooooo not thinking about everyone shoving food in their faces. I am thinking about just taking protein drinks and not eating so I don't get stuck in front of anyone. I am still in this new phase of my life....its called "Deanna can't seem to understand what slow the fuck down and eat SMALL SMALL bites and CHEW CHEW CHEW very well before swallowing or you will be stuck" means. SOOoooooo, I am still getting stuck, but NOT if I slow down and use my baby spoons I purchased right after surgery. I hope you all have a great Labor Day and get some really good quality time on your bikes!! I know I plan on it in the morning before converging on the orgy of food that is planned at the bbq. Biking is soooo Fetch!!!

September 2nd a.m. mowed lawn p.m. third day of second week of couch to 5k program!!! p.m. one mile roller blading p.m. leg strength training on bowflex I had injured my shoulder/back last Tuesday and my arm has been in really bad spasms and pain since then. I have not done any arm strength training this whole last week. I think it is finally getting better. It did not hurt at all today and today that was the first day that is did that. So, a couple more days of rest and I may not have to go to the doctor after all. I think it was from carrying my backpack. I may have to revert to my wheelie backpack. It is such a pain though. Especially climbing up and down stairs.

Friday August 31st. Last Day of August!!!! p.m. 4 miles roller blading

Can't wait to see the results. You sound awesome. Are you in much pain???

BG, can you put my part of the money to work somewhere else, like in my scrub fund. LOL, I am not too fond of these things yet, and I have yet to wear them....everyone says they are way comfy after they are washed. We shall see. BG, you know brining up your girlies part gets the guys all excited. You really should stop.

I lost two pounds this week. I am happy about that. Two more pounds for my Labor Day Challenge.

It is raining. DH gets off at noon and we were going to go for a ride. It is raining. This sucks.

Ya know what the hardest part of my life is right now? I have been pretty much isolated from other people this whole summer. Since the time of my surgery. I have my family, but I don't work, so I have ben mostly just around my family and now that I am back to school, I have to deal with all the dumb things that people say and FOOD!!! FOOD!! FOOD!! It is everywhere!!! Everyone is eating it all the time and it is greasy fatty slimy food. Chicken strips and fries and fry sauce. That is what I had to deal with yesterday and it smelled good. And I was eating my cottage cheese and trail mix. I actually didn't look that good, but the smell was heavenly. I guess I am going to have to get used to this. I think that everyone, even skinny people, think of food all the time. That is all I hear everyone talking about. Before I didn't notice because I was doing it too, but now, it bothers me!!

HP, I jost womens shorts. I LOVE , LOVE, LOVE THEM!!! What a freakin difference some padding makes. As for the shirt. I love love love that too. Whisks the sweat right away and it breathes too so you get air on your body.

Good Morning all, I am almost afraid to post anymore. I lose just about every post I put on and then I am pissed. Mabye I will start making lots of small posts.

I am staying on plan today because I AM WORTH IT!!!! I MATTER!!
