Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

[OH Juli 15]

Good God Poeple!!! You are all wound up so bad that you don't even realize how the Term "Head Hungry" sounds! Makes me feel all funny inside!

My 2 cents for the day! Sorry I missed the fun.

JC

I've missed you JC. That funny feeling inside is your band.

Oh and the bike class was FANTASTIC!!!!

And I'm the kind of girl that doesn't like to get all dirty but there I was learning to take off my chain, clean the gears, tighten spokes, learning about the different parts. It was so cool. And the fellas teaching the class were great. There were 6 of us, all from WOW, (women on wheels, my cycling group) and we got to get all caught up.

Next week we do more. I'm am going with quatro, egg beater clipless pedals and 23's for my wheels. I have 26's on it now. I'm so geeked.

W00T, W00T.

Why so little sleep?

The new fill has me unable to eat before bed for a few hours or I get reflux. That's a first. Yesterday I ate dinner at 5 and nothing afterward. I was starving at 11, wondering do I eat and not sleep or sleep and not eat. Not eating won. It was the best I've rested since Friday! (I'm a slow learner.)

I know once I said sleep is for whimps, but oh my goodness, I'll take a pillow over food any day now.

J - I can't drink Water before bed... it likes to slide back up when I lay down. This is hard for me because for as long as I have been alive I've had to have a glass of water before bed!! Mom used to tell us that it cleaned our kidneys while we slept, haha, and while I know this isn't so much true, it's now a habit I miss. I normally don't eat anything beyond about 8 or 9pm though, but I'm sure it would try to snake up too.

As far as sleep being for wimps - then I'm the biggest wimp of all!! I seriously HAVE to have at least 8-10 hours of UNinterrupted sleep. My cats try to wake me up and they get the spray bottle cause I ain't dealing with it! God forbid I ever reproduce!! If I have nights where I get less than 8 hours, I will easily sleep 10-12 the following night! Even if that means going to bed at 8pm!!

Hi everybody! Wow, quiet thread today!

I saw the exercise physiologist today and she just got me so excited! hehe :thumbup:

What I mean is, that although I don't get banded until April, I was glad to be doing something leading up to it, ya know (dirty minds, lol)? Also, we talked the whole time about biking and at the end she said, "boy, I didn't expect you would be teaching me today...that was really cool that you know so much about exercise!". It was cool, but also funny to me. What a shame that I have the knowledge, but can't seem to apply it to my life. Bummer. I know exactly what to do to lose weight and get fit (don't all of us?), but can't get my body (and mind) to cooperate. I am looking forward to the Band giving me some control over my eating so I can 'walk the walk, not just talk the talk'. :grouphug:

Oh, and get this! Ever since I got approved, I've been eating everything in site. Like it was my last meal...last cookie, last whatever. Stuff I wouldn't even normally choose, ridiculous. Well anyway, I somehow managed to lose 3 pounds this month!! Crazy, huh?

Yeah, once I was approved and then had a date set I was all about eating EVERYTHING I could get ahold of. I remember the last meal I had before I started the liquid diet - My homemade burritos - which I ate SIX of, and they are big. Lol. Every now and then I think back on that and wish I'd stopped to actually chew and TASTE them Lol! I was just inhaling as fast as I could so that I wouldn't feel full before I was done eating. Ha! THAT could be how I got fat! Lol.

Hmmmmmm...you might be on to something!

I have got to stop this! I know I'll be fed again, but for some reason it's like I'm saying goodbye or something. I think it's so weird. What's stranger, is that I know I'm doing it and can't seem to stop! I will admit that it's better than last week! LOL

[babygrl1234 6]

C that is so normal though. The day before my liquid diet I had the worst hangover ever (end of girls weekend lol). Despite that I managed to have BK for Breakfast, KFC for lunch, Hungry Howies pizza, and fish and chips from this amazing place near my house. Plus other random stuff. I was ready to puke it all up but I jsut had to eat it no matter what. I think back about it and I am really disgusted by the whole thing. I mean in that one day i ate more than I probably did the entire weekend we went up north this year. Probably twice as much. So don't worry. It is normal. It is a process. Sometimes it is hard to say goodbye lol.

And I am still tired despite going to sleep at about 7pm last night. My family is in town from up north. For those not familiar with Michigan anything north of Lansing (think mid hand when using you hand map) is considered up north. Well my family is from waaaaay up there in the UP so I don't see them much. So there will be lots of card playing and late nights. Maybe I will leep when I am dead.

[OH Juli 15]

sleep sounds so good.

I hate school. OMG, I'm sorry people to be such a negative nelly all the time about the papers and papers and freaking papers.

Sounds like you'll have a great time with your family this weekend BG. The MI hand thing just cracks me up. It's effective but corny. :tt2:

Okay, off to write about the HRM, business model of market overstaturation and management practices of Starbucks. Settle down, don't be jealous.

Sometimes I miss the food induced coma. Burritos always = coma for me. I looked up a Chipotle burrito shortly after banded and it was like 1000 kcals for one and I nearly fell over. There was a time I'd eat one of those mothers and a pile of chips and salsa and still want more.

Girls are such dainty eaters. HA!

[babygrl1234 6]

I see you lost another pound Miss J!

[OH Juli 15]

Yeah, I saw 202 two days in a row so I claimed it! I feel bad that you notice my ticker. I'm so bad about recognizing other people's losses.

But woot woot, I might just maybe see 199 before I turn 40!

[babygrl1234 6]

Don't feel bad, usua;lly I don't notice tickers unless they are something major. You are too close to 200 for me to not notice!

[Turler 6]

Hi girls and boys!

TGIF!!! I feel like I have 2 left feet and a few extra arms this week...argh! Picture this...nice quiet OR except for the lovely music playing softly in the background...The CD ends, the doctor asks me to change it, I put the CD in the boombox (which is resting on a ring stand), close the lid, and push play. As I push play, the whole thing falls through the ring stand and crashes upside down on the floor!!! CD slides across the floor!!! OMG I broke it! I couldn't even pretend I didn't know what happened! All I could think about was how much it was going to cost me to get him a new one! I confessed my sin (like he didn't already know by the huge crashing sound and lack of music) and told him I'd get him a new one. Someone else walks in the room (not knowing all this happened), went over to the boombox, pushed play and it worked!! LOL I got lucky, but still I felt bad. It took me all day before I could laugh about it!!

Anyone got plans for the weekend?

[Turler 6]

Oh... and good job J on the ticker! I usually don't pay too much attention to those either, so I'm sorry.

BG--thanks for understanding my "last meal syndrome". I knew I couldn't be the only who's done this. I hope it ends soon and not the night before my liquid diet! haha

[babygrl1234 6]

C we have built in radios in our ORs =)

I am so effing tired.
