TX,

I hit you up on Facebook. I'm not that savvy on it either.

Favorite,

What Traci said was pretty smart. You are smaller than me when I started riding. You're size isn't an issue. The question to answer is what kind of riding do you see yourself doing in 4 months. What kind of bike does that take? Unless you are going to mountain bike on paths stay away from mountain bikes. Hybrids and comforts are good entry bikes. The local bike shop's bikes will cost a bit more, but you'll get fitted to your bike, and start a relationship with someone who is passionate about biking. It can't be said enough, don't buy your bike at Walmart or Target. The savings aren't worth it for the service and knowledge a local bike shop (LBS) person will give you.

And don't worry about your size. Big people ride. Then they become little people. :biggrin:

HP-

I was at the GF's this weekend, cooking and entertaining...also doing school work. Why is it when life gets busy getting off the computer is the first thing we do? I'm back!

ZZ: How is the shifting gears going???? I hope my instructions were helpful. I know it stinks to have to look down at your chain rings, but unless you have GripShift or some other numbered gear shifting system, you just have to get a feel for it!

It's been snowing or raining ever since I got your email. Lol. But I do think I understand it now. I'm also going to do what J said and have someone (my roomie) hold the bike up while I shift gears and hand pedal it to see what goes where. I'm getting a gel seat on Friday...

I got back one of my 2 bikes last night. and It is so pretty and clean. The super nice guy even helped me adjust the seat height and handle bar height...I didnt know you could adjust the handle bars...lol

I am all ready for my first trip down the road...once it stops raining.

My other bike had to have new gears. So he still has that one. Maybe I can get it on friday and go for a ride from there. lol

Where are you???????????

[babygrl1234 6]

I'm here.......

[OH Juli 15]

You've been quiet is all. I've got nothing in particular to discuss...just missing ya.

[babygrl1234 6]

Yeah I am a bit crabby. No weather for bike riding and that other big thing looming on my mind. Trying to not let it bother me but it is on my mind at least once per hour.

[OH Juli 15]

is the tanning salon open? Maybe some personal spending can ease your rainy weather/icky blues.

I did do well with my food today, BTW. I'm under 1000 kcals, and I've pushed simple carbs aside. I want them badly though. God do I want them. I figure three days of craving I'll be back to reasonable. Hopefully.

That past tense like I'm not eating anymore today is because if I do I'll vomit in my sleep. Always a good time...

[babygrl1234 6]

Yeah three days pretty much is it for the cravings. I want some chocolate soy milk but I ma too lazy to go to the store.

I already went tanning today. And I had the best nap ever during that time too lol.

Is your yahoo on? I sent you a message like 20 minutes ago lol

[OH Juli 15]

no yahoo at home. It just always gets messed up. I'll figure it out again one day. I do have it on at work. I know not a lot of good right now.

It's fun to be 6. My kiddo just had a doggy tea party.
