What is a recumbant bike?

The only kind they have at my gym are the short ones where your sitting at the same height as the peddals and the tall ones I can adjust the seat, but I cant get my leg over the hump in the middle. it hits almost at crotch level. kinda annoying.

Recumbant is I believe the first bike you described. The seats have backs on them and your legs on the pedals go forward, not down.

Hope that helps.

Howdy, BTW.

I haven't bid on any of it, I just thought it was cool.

So, I feel all decked out now. I got me a helmet today. Found one at Sears for $4.99 +tax. It's a juvinile helmet, but it fits me fine, so I figured it would work. Lol. If it's a problem later then I'm only out 5 bucks...

I need to upload pix of my bike, so you can all see her hotness.

BTW, Daddy, there is a town here in Missouri called Licking. It's awesome. There is a prison tehre. ha.

50 degrees and mostly sunny Friday means I get to ride Big Sexy.

It's supposed to be 64F today and 72F tomorrow. I'm so excited! As soon as I get home from work I'm taking my bike out for a public spin... Please pray I don't crash in front of anyone!

PS. I was GOING to post pics last night of the bike, but damn photobucket wasn't working for me. I'll try again later tonight.

I'm going to be in MI on Friday too, thanks for the weather update. That means I get to ride... I'm singing that like RI-eyed. I get to RI-eyed!

My new sunglasses came yesterday, with two jerseys....I heart Women's Sunglasses (Bargain Barn) at Sierra Trading Post - Save 35-70% on Famous Name Brands very much.

Now if my ass would stop hurting! I pulled something when shoveling snow on Saturday. It was getting better but then this morning when I got out of the car I had shooting pain again! Ouch mother effer!

Oh, and BTW,

Yesterday I had a killer workout. I ran for the first time since the 5K, which is a solid 3 weeks. I sprinted even for the last two minutes. My calves were on fire when I got off the treadmill, but all I could think is that I'm going to kick some hills this season on my bike!

I kept on and did my serious cross fit strength training for the day too. All of it with added decline bench abs! Did I tell you I jump rope? I do that between sets to keep my heart rate up. I jump around 300 times! I want to get that up to a solid 10 minutes.

Okay, seems like the exercise blues and winter blahs are lifting!!!!

And this is from a girl with a owey butt! Woo hoo, come on SPRING!

      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.
