Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

WTG J!!!! I don't remember you ever telling us that you love your bike, but then again, I never tell you that either. LMAO....it is sooooo amazing now that I am getting fit and healthy the way I think....when I was running (well, kinda jogging, plodding) last night I wanted to stop sometimes and then I kept passing these bleachers and thought of JC and how if he can do it I can too!!!!!

HP, hang tight, everything will be fine!!!

HP, hope you are feeling better!

BG, how are the sticks?

J, your insight is astounding, you are truly gifted.

D, we help each other here, whenever I want to quit slack off or give it less than my all, I think of you guys and somehow find a little extra. (doesn't hurt that I aint right in the head either) but still you guys give me something I would not have, or have as much of, if you weren't there on my mind.

B, how bout an update.

JJ, we've got to get you better connected! It's hard to read a million pages after a hard day of work. One of these would help.

John had some issues with his form in the World Record attempt. He had the strength just screwed up a bit. He did however set a new state record in his weight class for the deadlift. That's my boy! :-)

Oh yeah, I heart my bike...bikes! Tooo!

[OH Juli 15]

I hate my restriction...sakes alive, it kicks in when I least expect it to. I'm hungry too. I'm trying hard not to fall into the soft food trap...Bitch ass mini meatballs with sauce has got me on the verge of a PBing. Broccoli too.

Maybe its the broccoli. This would be two for two.

JC-Cool about John and the state record.

D- We all do heart our bikes. Well maybe not BG, she's a bike abuser. But I bet when she get a new road bike she won't throw it at anyone in a fit.

HP- Hope things are well with your man.

BG- We are having some crazy tornado weather here. How 'bout you?

[OH Juli 15]

S, B and JJ- Howdy.

I chose not to tell my husband about what I am feeling. It would be blown out of proportion, and that is not my intention at all. My feeling's and insecurity should not be his problem at all.

Although, I still have the feelings, I am not going to make an issue of them and start a fight. He thinks I am mad....LOL I am not mad at him....just in a funk....

Jc...congrats on your son...that is wonderful...

I like my bike, I can't say I love it....wait till I get my road bike.

Well, I am going to go for now....everyone have a good evening.......

BG...did you go bike shopping with your friend???

Hey Gang,

Went for a 2 mile walk this AM, then spent the rest of the day sleeping off a rough week. Dog is doing much better, but like her daddy, she only gets to eat a few spoonfuls of food every hour on the hour.

JC - If we're going to recommend someone get a phone for surfing the web, then Apple - iPhone really seems like the best answer (of course, I have my personal biases)...

HP - I'm sorry that you had such a rough morning. I think everyone else's comments pretty much cover it, but isn't it heartening to know that there are people who will listen and offer their support? Also, thank you for posting yesterday's inspirational message! It perfectly describes how I am choosing to live my life (not that I don't sometimes fall into old ways of living where shit just happens and I let events over take me).

BG - Hope you're enjoying your trip. Went to the UP once about 10 years ago. It was beautiful in autumn.

J - Sounds like a good ride, although strong headwinds are a bitch...

J, Broccoli and all things leafy used to hang me up every time!

B, I looooooovvvvve that dogone Iphone. Promise you that I do, but the price. I know, you get what you pay for, it would just slow down the new toy alerts big time! Although, it would be one of the best alerts out there! I WILL own one eventually! I dream about that thing the way some of you dream about a road bike! I am such a Nerd/Geek!

I am glad to hear Grumpy and Daddy are recovering.

Hey,

This is something I forgot to mention...

Yesterday I had to get a gift card for a friend's birthday. I went to Kohls. I thought I'd see what was on sale for me. They had golf shrit/polos whatever you call them. I picked up a 2x then thought well, see how tight a 1x is, maybe pick up one for the later. I tried on the 1x and it FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wore it to the party.

I've not wore a one X, in a very very very very long time.

It might have been snug, but it wasn't obscene.

Thanks for letting me share.

Now that I'm a little more awake, I thought I'd respond more... (besides, I just can't stay away from here for more than a few wakeful minutes without going into withdrawals...)

JC - Wife and I got our iPhones the day they came out (and I had the "red badge of stupidity" sunburn from hell). I love the damn thing. We were going to wait for some of the hoopla to die down, but my Treo suffered an unfortunate accident (I ran over it...) that morning, so what the hell... They were a little spendy, but fuck it, you only live once.

Congratulations to your son. That had to be so exciting to try for a world record!!

Thanks for the thoughts for Grumps - we may be back on our way to the ER, though. She seems to have developed a urinary tract infection secondary to all the other crap that's been wrong. Boxers are funny - they have an incredible pain tolerance, so things that would normally make other dogs cry in pain to let you know they are sick do not seem to affect her at all.

D - How's that road bike treating you? Look forward to more woohoo ride reports!!

J - Woohoo on the new shirt! I'm sure that felt fantastic I'll have to let the wife know that broccoli is a bad idea and will be permanently off my menu (breaks my heart...)

JJ - Sorry that no one was around last night.

Job, Slack - y'all out there?

B, I feel ya on the phone thing, my treo met with a similar fate, and my nextel,,,,,, well, I have never been angrier at an inanimate object in my entire life!!!!!!!!!!!! Still, I'm afraid that I am stuck with the lowly 8525 for a while. I hope your girl gets better soon.

Maybe we should start calling J onederwoman. Congrats, I still savor the way I felt when I bought my first shirt that wasn't a 3x.

JC

[areellady 1]

Awe, sweet victory J!! That's all I can say about the 1x shirt....sweet victory!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!

HP, are you okay this evening? Don't let his get between you and DH's riding. This is for you and your health.

BG, are you in Deliverance country? Picking on your banjo on the front porch?

My son's car got vandalized last night. Put a hole in back drivers window, wrote FAGGOT with a huge ass picture of a penis spurting out on the whole hood of the car in black sharpie. It is a mess!!! I sure hope he doesn't find out who did it cuz I am going to have to bail him out of jail if he does. That car is his baaaaaabbyyyyyyyy!!! It sucks.

Went for a small ride this afternoon. I am holding off on the 33 mile ride until I get my shorts. SHould be Monday, hopefully!!!! Go for my second fill on Monday, so hopefully I will have some restriction again and won't be eating the whole house at times!!

[hoosierpoms 0]

d. where did you order your new shorts from????

That totally stinks about the car.....I hate it when people do cruel things, and when they are done to our kids it hurts even more......I think I would have to be the one getting bailed out of jail...well....no proably not...I am kinda a sissy and dont like to fight..LOL

Well....update from here. I went to bed at 8pm last night, got up this morning and got a shower...he is still in bed hasnt said a word, and if he does not get up soon, I am taking off on my own...just will have to walk up the gravel road until I get to the main road...but what the heck....

I took everyone's advice and didnt bring it up or mention anything, although he knows something was wrong becuase when he called me at work I was crying...I HATE WHEN I DO THAT!!!!!

He asked me last night what was wrong and I just told him to drop it, becuase he would not understand....

I feel like it was best.

J......a 1 x.....wow!!!!!!! Isnt that awesome????? I think it is cool you can buy stuff at NORMAL stores and feel so damn good about it.

JC...so how long have you been seperated? Have you been on dates since?

B....and JC...my 22 year old co-worked who is a real good friend of mine has the Iphone and it is pretty awesome. I have been able to use it at work and I like it...but I have verizon...and dont have $600..if I did I would be getting a road bike...LOL

Well everyone....have a good day

[jcgrove29 0]

D, sorry to hear about your son's car. It's too bad we all live so far apart or else I believe we could round up a BadAss Posse!

HP, we have been separated for about a year and a half. Our divorce should be final early October. I guess I can look at it as an early birthday present. I hope you get a good ride in today.

I still have John with me we are going to work around the house. I hope to ride this evening. I gotta get in shape for the trip.

You early adopters of technology are fantastic. I on the other hand don't even text message....I figure I'm talking (mostly) on-line classes, that's high tech enough. This finance class I'm taking right now is my only in the class room class I'll have in the last three year of college career. I took some math classes in the class room a few years ago.

Thanks for the props on the 1X. I think calling me Onederwoman is a bit premature. I'm a solid 30 pounds away from there. Hopefully by Thanksgiving. And that's pretty quick!

B- Broccoli was fine until I got this fill. And I'll be damned to give it up entirely. I eat it about 4 times a week and my daughter loves it. So when I got back to my dinner I ate it in tic tack sized pieces. It was slow going but it didn't get stuck and I got the nutrition.
