OH Juli

who knew ???

Etsy :: Antique Bicycle Necklace I just bought this. I think I'm going to have a bicycle "thing". This would be my first in a collection.

Bicycle Bike Repair Maintenance Tools Bicycle Rehabilitation Project This one is really cool, he repairs other people's bikes as a political action. Bicycling instruction video: Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance by Lennard Zinn This is specific to moutain bikes, but I'm sure it has good information. Okay you're on your own now.

Uh, call your cell phone with your house phone. Or if you only have the cell, give me your number and I'll call ya. Maybe if you hear it ring.......

I want to make a spunk joke, but that's really beyond the pail.

JC and BG, you two kill me. So much to say so early in the morning! First of all BG if you've smelled a limburger crotch, and I'm assuming you don't go around smelling anyone's buy your own, you need to check your personal hygene...or get that infection cleared up. As for being taken advantage of at work, can you get more money for doing what you do? You can always ask. Being a state worker, we'd call that working out of class and you could get more $$. On a work note, I had an inservice with my staff yesterday about nutrition. I had them break down a day's menu cals, fat, carb, and protein by running around reading lables. They compared it to USDA's standards for a 18 y/o boy, and the reality of what our kids eat. (3 bread sticks, not 1). It was great. One guy was like, "they need to stop eating for the day by the time lunch is over." I had them figure out some healthier changes we could do and they decided to limit dessert from 10 to 2 times a week, add twice the veggies, get 100% whole wheat bread, get rid of iceburg lettuce and add sweet potatoes to the baked potato days. I know too many details, but I'm so proud and happy! Now people are joking that I put myself on a diet and now I'm putting the school on one too! HA! I won't deny it! And we are different from typical schools becuase our kids eat for free...so they don't have a monetary reason not to eat til they burst. Anyway, surprise, surprise, it's a happy work post from me.

JC- You're probably gone, but put some ice on it, if you pulled something.

Denise, God love ya. You're a nut job. My band can no longer be called Phyllis, because she's got a fill. Now she's Lil' Terr. Let me explain. I work in a cafeteria and there's a woman I work with who is sassy and calls people out all the time. Her name is Terrie. If on Monday you come through the lunch line and say, "Oh, just a little of that, I'm watching my diet." Then on Tuesday you come through and grab a piece of pie, she will in fact say, "what, you done watching it? Yestereday you said you were on a diet. That was quick. You got to goal? Good for you. No, go on. Take the pie. I don't want to stop you." Mind you I can do a good impersonation of her too. Which get's her rolling! One time she was baking cookies and I was drooling. I went to get one. I said, "oh those smell so good." She said, "You ate these before. You know what they taste like, go on get out of here, you don't need to eat one now." So, I like to think of my band as the voice of Terrie telling me to go on and get away from the shit food. I told her I named my band after her and she laughed. When I do her to her..you know impersonate her, she says it sounds so mean coming from my mouth. She's just trying to be helpful! LOL

B I'm so sorry to hear about your pup. How worrisome for you. That's horrible.

For a bunch of bike geeks we talk far too much about being aroused. I'm just saying..... My WOW chicas are doing a 30 mile ride on Saturday. I got the sitter lined up. I'm stoked. And to be completely bipolar I just want to say the GF and I are misfiring and it's annoying. Typically this gets better when we see each other and that's been post poned to sometime in the middle of September. We were going to be together Labor Day, but she's got to take care of stuff at her mother's house instead of coming here and I've got to stay in town... It's not horrible, but I'm annoyed. I might even get pouty.

I weigh myself daily, like the rest of you. Nikkit after peeing. I figure I'm making up for the years I refused to get on the scale because I didn't want to know how much I weighed. It keeps me on track and I really get that the numbers sometimes moves up...I look for an overall downward trend.

HP that's what I'm thinking. I'm sure BG's thongs are much more interesting.

JJ, Bring the restraints and the towel to mop all the drool. Ha! I want to call Stacy BeeGee now.

Hi Flipper. Welcome. I didn't have to do much in the way of liquids but I'm really surprised at how easy it's been to feed me and my 6 year old. I don't expect her to eat like me but blending the edges has been helpful. I know you're talking more about when you are doing liquids, after the first few days you should be able to not be too resentful. And if it gets too out of hand make her take them to a restaurant while you sleep or something. It's a short term in the big scheme of things. Congrats on getting on with the process. With that said, where are you in the process?

I don't have a myspace page. I've just never done it. I have blogged for 5 years or so. I had one I kept up with for a long long time, but it got ugly and someone who doesn't like me in real life (hard to believe, but true) stalked me on there. I don't know how she found it but it was a mess. Anyway, I just keep my wls blog now and it's not all that interactive. I'm going to check you now, chica.

woo-hoo?! Mary thanks for the huge smile. Sorry though that you are not 100%. Yuck-O. Hopefully soon it will go away. Glad to hear you're working out again and tracking on fitday. It's so hard to get out of the habit. Good You!!!!

I got all messed up today with my schedule at work, then there was a baby shower....so I didn't work out after and it's 95 degrees out today so I'm keeping my ass in the house right now...so boo hoo, all that grief I gave JC about only working out in the morning and I did nothing. Karma But about the baby shower, I found a new way not to eat through one of those events. Offer to use the guest of honor's camera and take pictures of everyone. It keeps you busy and if your bossy like me, you get to tell people what to do. I got away without eating ass loads of food, enjoyed the party and was helpful to boot. ye-haw.

D. That one mother effin hill!!!!!!!!!!!! And don't you look cute?! And ohhh ahhhh nice bike. You are one rocking ass chica!

No flooding for me either. I live part way up a good sloping street with a river at the bottom and about 100 houses between me and it.

oi. boys r gross You know, I have thongs now. The are in the "really really bad idea" drawer. Who in their right mind makes size 26 thongs? Or worse yet, what kind of insane woman buys them? Oh wait, me.

Apparently myspace is blocked at work. Makes sense...but argh. I'll look you up at home tonight.

I love Old Navy too. I had on a pair on low rise dress pants yesterday from there and I LOVED them. But the low rise I liked because it helps with the muffin top, you know the roll a WLS woman can get above the waste of her pants. Too much loose-ness in the skin thing. Okay, talking clothing...I think I've talked about not having bought new panties yet....It's generally not a problem, and I did try but Target only had white granny panties in my size, (and I buy package-panties, not hanger or table panties, because I'm cheap) and I've not been able to get to other stores lately, so I didn't get any yet. Bottom line is I'm still wearing GIANT underwear. Well, I did get some rather short exercise shorts. They have a 3 inch inseam, so they are short...but longer ones don't work.. Well, yesterday for the first time, the panties were hanging lower than the shorts!!!! I had to roll the waste band! HA. Calm down boys, I know, that's HOT. :eyebrows:

Hazel YOU LOOK SO GOOD! You can really see the difference in your tummy and butt! Keep up the good work! You hair is getting long too! Woo Hoo!

Restriction is something very new to me. HOLY COW, but over all it's all good. Pamela, while PBing chicken and Broccoli the other day I thought of you. My first major PB since getting filled. That was something.

Bitch ass work, getting in the way. HP, I too have had to focus more while at work, but alas, no 11.5 hour days for me. What is it that you do?
