No you didn't! Yes you DID!!!! You go girl. It whispered your name and you got it! Oh, I'm so happy for you!

Good news on the fill too. Were they able to do it without flouro? Or were you poked a million times with it?!

Congratulations on the new baby.

YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SMOKIN THE TREAD TODAY THAT IS FOR SURE.

I hadnt checked it since 1040am, and there were 3 more pages...LOL

Yea, J.....It was kinda awesome...I was a little uneasy about the fact it was a FX which they call a High Performance Hybrid...but he promised me that all it did was add the different style handelbars, and he told me If I wasnt comfortable on the road bike, I wouldnt ride it, and this is still a road bike, but just with the MB handelbars.

So.......

I cant wait....I am so excited......

My DH may actually be getting the Speciliazed....not sure..well, I have to get to bed...

Nite everyone

How cool y'all met up for a ride! I'm jealous!

B - Well, I hate to see ya go, but I'm glad you two are going to be where you want to be right now. I'm also glad the decision is that much closer to "done" for you. The rest will fall in your lap when it's time. In the meantime, you better get your house on the market. I have three that have been on the market since summer...one of them since June! There is about a ten-month backlog of homes for sale in DFW right now...terrible. I will hold down the fort here until you realize you can't live without "BIG D" any longer!

J - OOO-OOO...gonna have to google me some Gantt!

Nite, y'all...this chickie is wupped and sore from the gym! See ya tomorrow!

Isn't it funny that when something is in reach we just want to get it sooner!!!!!!!! HP and her new bike, me and my bodybugg.

Other question about the BB, is the software web based or is it software that you download to only one computer?

Cool because I want to log stuff in while at work. It's basically the state's computer but I can put stuff on it, short of porn...or at least I think I can. I have friends in IT who will do Admin password if I bake the cookies...(and explain what I want to download if they deem it safe...we aren't too strict around here.)

TX - Thanks - I'm glad that some things are kind of settled. We at least know that we want to move back to Boston for now. But, to paraphrase the last stanza of the old Mac Davis song, "Happiness is [Fort Worth], Texas growing nearer and nearer," so I'm sure we'll be back someday. Very nervous about selling the house, but we don't live in a regular subdivision, so it will either be easier or harder than average. Our neighbor is a RE agent, so we're going to sit down with her when we get home. Most of the jobs that I'm looking at will offer some relo assistance, so if the agent's commission is included, we can sell for less than we paid, if necessary, and still walk away with some money.

HP - CONGRATULATIONS!!! I would be so dying to just pay it off & ride. It's hard to have fiscal discipline sometimes. You'll get your bike soon enough and when you do, you'll be riding with a big ol' smile!

J - Thanks for the rockstar! I'm so about to break down and buy the bodybugg, too! I was planning on getting a Heart Rate Monitor, but I might go BB instead - I like the graphs and charts!

Alright, off to go drive by some houses here that we might be able to afford - it's sad that a 1200 sq foot house here costs 2-2.5x as much as our McMansion on a heavily wooded acre in dallas costs. On the other hand, these 1200 sq foot houses have 10-20x as much character as ours....

Have a great day, everybody!

Small house = better house. I think. Less to clean, less to heat, less to leave an environmental footprint.

And being a girl who cooks, a smaller kitchen is better (if it's big enough and well laid out) than a huge ass kitchen where you have to walk 15 feet to get a something turn around and walk another 10...blah, blah, blah....

I have a tiny house which fits me and my daughter perfectly. I'd be happy with something newer and not falling apart, but I love my little house. 1150 square feet, little!

Ok, I don't pretend to understand all the business stuff that you guys talk about, because, I DON'T. BUT, I do understand something. You are all getting BB and now I want one. I don't want it to be something that is exciting for a few weeks or months and then I don't use anymore though. I like to track some stuff but when it has to be done every single day and all the time I get tired of it and I stop, that is why I don't track my food. I get tired of it. So, I don't know if the BB would be a good thing for me or not?

I have 1300 square feet and wish I had more room. I also have myself, 2 adult kids, and two child kids. And my kitchen is tiny. I wish I had one of those big kitchens Juli.

If you know you would get sick of it then don't get one D. It is a pain to log stuff but i think it will be worth it if I can get myself out of this rut I am in.

      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.
