HP - Look at Performance Bike - Home for all your cycling needs! to see if they have some you like. I got some for $39 that are winter pants. I got the mens with the full chamois and they are super warm! Seems they have a different sale every other day if you sign up for their email list.

No seriously...I want to be at 250 by the end of the year, and if I get my butt to the gym, it will. But....with all the junk going on at work, well, I have just wanted to come home and go to bed.....

SO, next week has bound to get better.

How have you been??? Are you still riding??? It is really cold, but I miss it.

We havent gone since last weekend.

I am hooooooooooome!!!!!!

Thank god. We (and by we I really mean I) managed to get the inventory cost down to a measly $1.50 variance. Not too shabby for 1.5 millions dollars. I am basically exhausted but I feel pretty awesome. I know it is dorky but I love numbers and problem solving. Now that it is over I can say I jsut can't wait until next year lol.

ARG My post just disappeared!

True Blue Sue Welcome. I heard Terry bikes are fantastic. Enjoy yours. Where are you joining us from?

I love the Body Bugg..Holy cow! I'm at 1500 deficit!!!! I've walked more than 17000 steps too. And today didn't have a workout. Just a stroll around the zoo!.

I slept with the thing on last night and don't plan on doing that again. I just wanted a base line for it to use from now on.

Tomorrow is my day to do nothing. I wonder how I'll fill it....

OMG! YOu're NOT going to slep with it? Lol. I can't seem to be able to take mine off. The BB coach laughed madly at me for suggesting that I might wrap it in saran wrap so I can shower with it. Haha! My arm feels naked without it.

I'll admit that the first couple nights were odd with it... and so were the days. But now I don't even know I have it on. I find myself checking my arm to make sure it didn't fall off or something. (I'm slightly obsessive.)

Hey gang - at a computer security conference in DC. Trying so hard to eat decently. It was much easier to eat right on the road when I was staying at my wife's aunt's house in Boston. Much harder to do at a hotel. Also, for what it's worth, I would give my left nut to be able to drink a Diet Coke.

My BB is waiting patiently for me on my desk back at my office. Not doing me any good here. Looking forward to picking it up on the way back from the airport on Wednesday.

BG - sucks to spend so much time at the office, but that will be a nice paycheck. Great job on getting to 1/1000th of 1% of the appropriate inventory value. That's a six-sigma job :)

True Blue Sue - Welcome.

Other than that the pain from recovery would keep my off my bike for longer, I might have been willing to do that yesterday. I hadn't slept more than 2-3 hours a night since coming home from Boston. I sat on a goddamned airplane at the gate for three hours waiting for the cockpit crew to arrive (why in the hell would they put us on an airplane when they know we can't take off for several hours due to a lack of pilots...) First was full, so I had to fly in back (I'm a fucking snob, i'll admit it). I was in tears wanting a diet coke. It's the only thing I miss from my pre-band life...

Last night, I got a good night's sleep, so you're right, I probably wouldn't give it up for a diet coke (besides, there would be only one opportunity left for a diet coke for the rest of my life, and that would suck completely...)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
