I was just going to boast about my 27 mi ride. Now I feel inadequate. :)

You are kidding, right? 27 miles is very boast-able. There should be no feelings of being inadequate.

Rock oh there Ms Mac!

krtork,

What kind of bike is it???

You'll grow into your bike, you'll see. Probably more quickly than you expect too.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

BTW, I got out for 22 miles today. It was a little chilly, but sunny. I've ridden in colder, for sure.

Juli~ It is a Trek Madone, it was an 06 model that never sold so DH got a really great price on it! Again, I feel like it is too much bike, but he didn't want me to ride for 6 months and then want a new bike.

It is snowing here today! I really want to get out and ride, I wish the weather would turn. I have spring break off next week and hope that it will warm up and the sun will shine!

Wait until Babygirl sees that. She drools over Madones.

You know, if you're short and it's too much bike you can always call me next year. I'll help take it off your hands.

Zoe says "Korrine's mom is skinny."

Thought you'd like to see that. She was looking at your avatar.

She calls me chubby. FYI. I think I'm jealous.

I will see what I can do about the pics! We have dial up so I will see if I can get it done at school tomorrow.

It has a really cool paint job - it looks dark blue, almost black inside and then it is a really sparkly deep blue in the sun light. I rode it on the trainer today and practiced shifting - the snow is supposed to melt midweek, so I hope I can take it outside!

Juli~ 5' 8 1/2", sorry! They had me try several bikes and I just fell in love with it. :) I just have to get on and get going!

You know it sounds beautiful. It's okay to be all matchy matchy too. Matching helmet, jerseys, socks, Water bottles.

Really, it may be dorky in the regular world, but cycling, when your gear matches, it's cool.

Yes, I was kidding a little. But I know people who do Centuries and a friend of mine is training for the Death March Something or Other so sometimes I do feel like a biking baby, too.

Me and Gloria will take you and Big Sexxy on any time.

Actually, show up not hungover and you might kick my butt. Might.

Surely you jest. I have a long streak of hangoverness going for me. It's almost an essential part of the long ride now.

I just learned that I can ride sooner than I thought. Pretty much as soon as I feel up to it. The surgeon is betting it won't be for a good 3 to 4 weeks, but still, that's better than 6!

And yeah, TOSRV hungover would be funny. Well funny because I'll be driving SAG and I'd be the one to scoop you up.

I don't know. I just might give up drinking this year. Or not.

So it was beautiful yesterday. I packed my bike on my car and got all my stuff together. And then i went to the hospital to see my new niece. 30 minutes turned into 2 hours. And since I could not get the full 25 in that I wanted I just picked the kids up and we went to the metropark to walk the dog and fly kites. It was worth missing the ride, we had a great time. And the connector trail at the metropark was closed so I would have only been able to do 4 miles out and 4 back instead of the full 25.

No need to feel inadequate!! :thumbup: 27 miles is a long way too!

there is always going to be someone going longer...I do not see how people do centuries...or do a century+, after a 2.4 mile swim and just before a marathon. :tt2:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
