Hi GR8!

Is that what you ride? How cool!

I saw it when we went Bike Shopping -- test rode it -- but didn't get it.

My husband loved it -- so he said.

;) I have just started my bicycle journey (8/30) -- riding 5 miles a day.

How much does everyone else ride per day?

it all depends. I was riding every other night but work got in the way as did the weather. We were doing about 10-15 miles. And on weekends we go longer.

I have been off bike since a week ago...kinda dreading the getting back on....know I will be hurting.

What kind of bike do you ride???

Well. I am sorry to say I am off to bed.

Talk at everyone later

HP - I just bought my bike - and this is my first exercise in a long time due to back injury, so I am starting slow I am sure. I can't wait till I can do 10+ miles per day.

That is so awesome!!!!

Good for you for getting out there. A slow start is the best kind of start. If you do too much too quickly you get hurt and stop.

So yesterday for the hell of it I tried to beat my mile time from the day before of 13:39. I did it in 12:01! Not too shabby for 200+.

Cool bike Gina!

I think ODB is having some severe back tire issues. DH thinks it is the shocks but I think he is a moron. I know when my bike does not feel right. UGH. I WANT A ROAD BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay sorry just had to get that whine out.

Okay kids, we are literally two weeks out from the bike ride in Fort Wayne.

BG, again, could you post the link. I've yet to pay for my ride. Also, with ODB giving you a hard time will you be able to put the 40 miles on it?

HP, you're game still, right?!

JC, Do you have any pending projects at work that will get in the way? And launches happeing the day before?

I'll tell you guys, I'm looking forward to the bike ride....my life has been crazy and I'll be lucky to get in a few 20 miles before that weekend....it might be rough, but I'm so stoked to be meeting you and riding! Could it be any better?

Oh yea, if D and B were with us!

XO

Juli I think it is on page 73ish. If I get a chance I will look back and find it for ya! I am actually getting busy here. And even if ODB dies he will die on the ride. Y'all might have to come pick me up.

JC I am trying. It might jump start some weight loss.

I have hurt my shoulder. I am in freakin' serious pain here and can't get into ortho until next Thursday. It is the strangest thing ever. I can be just fine one minute and the next I am in excruciating pain, like rotator cuff muscle. But, it doesn't hurt all the time and it starts hurting at the weirdest times. I may head to ER and then they will get me in to ortho much faster. It started 28th and just will not go away. Freakin shit. It brings tears to my eyes at times. I have not done any weight strengthing since the 27th on my arms. I am getting pissed and depressed. DH told me he thinks I should stop doing all exercise for a few days and see what happens. I started crying at the thought. Of course I was bent over in severe pain at the time, so it could of been the thought of no exercise or the pain.

Do you take rest days? Where you do NO training at all? If not you should.

I'd head to the ER if you are in that kind of pain.

The little posts are fine. I figured as much.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
