Oh, and to the point of this thread, I did go to the gym a few times at the casino, but not near enough. It was so amazing to work out there! The gym was about 1000 feet above ground level, so I was working out outside, next to the gorgeous pool, overlooking the city of Las Vegas, with the Black mountains just beyond that! GORGEOUS! Since I got back, I have worked out every day for two and a half hours and I biked 54 miles yesterday. I missed working out SO MUCH! (Really bugs hubby that I am so addicted, but what is a girl to do? LOL)

Thanx, guys! I missed y'all, too! I didn't win in Vegas, but hubby did! He won over $2,000 were there! All I did was lose, so I don't think I even gambled $100...just not lucky, I guess! We were so busy on tours, concerts and seeing sites, that we didn't gamble much, anyhow. I'll post some pictures later today!

Way to go, Lucy! That is fantastic and I'm so happy for you! DO THE HAPPY DANCE!

(I effed up the quote somehow and I don't feel like re-typing this!) ZZ - "Baldies are hot, btw. TMI - anyone else have issues with not being 'regular'? Seriously annoying... I miss my bathroom time. Maybe I need more fiber... Maybe I should add some Benefiber into my morning protein shakes? Lol." ZZ - Oh yes, baldies are HOT! Hubby is the same as B and "Bics" his...I love it. People tell him he looks like "Stone Cold"! LOL And regarding your TMI...I have to put two teaspoons of Benefiber into one of my protein shakes AND take two Fiber Choice chewables. If I didn't, I'd be a "once a week-er" and miserable. BG - Glad you had fun...and yes, you looked cute!

Too funny! I also love vanilla candles and any spicy homey scents, also. Dogs are a HUGE part of my life, as well. I have a black lab and a pom and a tortie cat that THINKS she is a dog. And anything golf...my newest passion! HP is the only one I saw give ideas just yet...did I miss some in my "power scan" over what I missed while I was gone?

Hey, Junies! I'm back from Vegas! We stayed a couple extra days since we were having such a great time! I'll catch up and jump back in by the end of the weekend, but wanted to say "HI!" Love y'all!

Hello, folks! I'm back from Vegas! Had such a great time, we decided to extend it a few more days! I'll catch up and jump back in by the end of the weekend, but just wanted to say I missed my excercise buddies! Love y'all!

Hey, fellow bycylers! I'm back from Vegas...while there, we decided to stay a few extra days and see more sites. HAD A BLAST! And have about 1400 pictures to sort through! UGH! I'll be catching up on what I missed and jumping back in by the end of the weekend. Love y'all!

HP - Look at Performance Bike - Home for all your cycling needs! to see if they have some you like. I got some for $39 that are winter pants. I got the mens with the full chamois and they are super warm! Seems they have a different sale every other day if you sign up for their email list.

Yeah, the jury is still out, but it looks good! Hey, BG...is today the last day of inventory? God, I hope so, for your sake....inventory SUCKS!

OMG! I can't believe it! Hubby works for Veolia and they are actually considering sponsoring me in my bike tour next May! That would be the coolest thing to wear a jersey bearing the name of the largest water processing and offshore company in the entire freaking WORLD!

I was thinking the EXACT same thing...trying to find the link! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And on your MIL...THANK YOU! I am so sick of feeling like I have to defend my goal! I appreciate folks saying nice things about my progress, but it's not enough. Not enough for me, and it shouldn't be enough for anyone! We didn't have surgery to lose ten pounds, damn it! Hubby does not like skinny chicks, and he's so afraid I will get "too thin". My goal is well within the "normal" BMI range. Just smack her the next time she asks! You know you want to! LOL

Hello, everyone! The weekend is almost here...hubby comes home tomorrow...tomorrow is Grampa's last radiation treatment EVER...and I'm hitting Vegas on Monday morning! All is wonderful! Grampa's doing FANTASTIC, by the way! Thanks for the concern guys, I appreciate it! Thanks for the ONE-derland congrats, O2B! (O2B...Obi Wan...naw!) I finally freaking made it! Only took me a month and a half longer than planned! ACK! HAPPY FRIDAY, EVERYBODY! (THIS is the kind of Friday I need right about now!)

Why, whatever do you mean, Miss Scarlett? You can bet your next years' salary on it! :omg:

J - OH J! Such a bad, bad day! I'm so sorry! Hey, I have an idea...take some more of them there drugs when you get to work...you won't mind the pain OR the inventory! Seriously, I hope you have a MUCH better day tomorrow. And it's FRIDAY! YEAH! BG - You ARE a hottie, and don't forget it! B - Thank you for the kudos! I like 'em! I'm doing 45, three times a week now...time to bump it up a notch to get ready for next year! Hey! Looks like all your good news/bad news ended up on the good side all around! VERY happy for you! And how awesome that they are basically creating you a home there! They love ya! And last, but not least, don't you love having to dispose of the fat closet?!?!?!? I can't believe how far you've come in the time short time since you've been banded! JC - Ya gotta come up for air sometime, buddy! We miss ya! D - You are NUMBER ONE! If I getcha, I'll send extra goodies! LOL Where are you tonight, anyhow? HP - Hope all is okay with you out there! Pop your head in! LOVE Y'ALL! HAPPY FRIDAY TOMORROW! Hubby comes home tomorrow, so I will wish y'all a great next week now in case I forget in the morning when I check in. With as much posting that goes on in here, it will take me forever to catch up when I get back! <<<---------This is just WRONG

Don't you mean NINE days before the greatest day of the year?

That was funny as hell!

Hello, friends! I hope everyone had as glorious a Thursday as I! It was just "one of those days", ya know? Even though my legs are still screaming, I went to the gym today. An hour and a half of weight lifting, chest and back work. Was a light day...I needed it. Couldn't even bear to LOOK at my bike, much less think of getting on her! (But I DO love her so...she's so pretty!) ANGEL - BRRRRR! My teeth are chattering just THINKING about that temperature! I'm so sorry! KAYDOTRN - WELCOME! I'm a newbie here, too! (I'm just obnoxious and jump right in! LOL) Yeah, the donuts...been craving them. (THANKS A LOT, WHOS!) Found out through "experimental research" a while back that I won't PB on them if they are eaten slowly enough. That was a BAD BAD discovery! TOMORROW HUBBY COMES HOME! YEA! YEA! YEA! (We are just WAY too cutsie together to have known each other 25 years...it would make ya sick! I love it!) I will try to get my workout in early before he gets home, but we will see how that goes. HAPPY FRIDAY, EVERYBODY!

Wow, y'all are doing great on your weight loss, guys! I wish I could say the same. I've been stuck for the last week. And vacation is next week...I hope I don't gain. We are going to be so busy, hopefully that won't happen. Man, I'm getting so excited...I haven't been to Vegas since I was a kid except for once three years ago...and that was for a stockholders convention/party and I didn't get to see one bit of the town while I was there, so it doesn't count.

I was number three! JC will be dead last...always busy getting his butter churned!

HA! We're caught! Yep, I'm always here in the mornings. Getting ready to take off, though. I won't be here at all next week...Going to VEGAS, BABY! Can't wait! I'll try to poke in here and there, but we are so booked up with events...we'll see!
