Wow B!!!! I sometimes get the vagal response when I get really stuck - feel like I'm going to black out and whatnot... never happened though, thank God! But I kinda know what it's like. How much fill do you have in your band? DId they unfill you at all when you got to the hospital? How freaked out were the people at your class? (Lol)

I'm so sorry you havo go through this! What are your most recent cardiac enzymes? (I heart medical speak...) Glad your mom is a nurse and will be there with you. Keep us updated!

Okay now for the upbeat post.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ good for you chica! I love that you are walking/biking and setting goals to do more. That is the key! Awesome Job!

I rode 67 miles today. I did 20 yesterday the rain kept us from doing more yesterday. I feel good and proud. My weight is creeping up, but that has everything to do with the crap I put into my mouth. I'm sitting at Panera as I type eating a bowl full of liquid butter and cream that they call Tomato Soup.

I have a giant paper to write and only 5 hours to get it done. I will do it, it's stress.

XO

Hi J!! Glad you're back! You and BG have been scarce around here this weekend! Congratulations on the 67 miler. Woot! You rock! Pedals working better? Are you getting excited about TOSRV?

Sorry you're hungry C. That stinks.

I wrote a book and I got kicked off line at Panera. I'm not writing it again.

Essentially, TOSRV scares me to death but I'll do it! Only 100 miles though. All on Saturday.

Hi gang - just want to check back in...

Turns out that while my enzymes are up (never could get my hands on the actual lab report), the cardiologist said that he wasn't concerned. According to the old rules, they were fine, but as with diabetes, cholesterol, etc., they keep moving the thresholds down. Since my EKGs were pretty, BP was fine, O2sat was fine, and I have few other risk factors, he felt that there was no reason for me to be there.

Poor doc had tourettes, though, and kept barking at me while he was talking to me. Didn't exactly instill me with confidence. I will have to go have an echo exercise stress test in the next few days just to make sure, but no MI for me today...

I've had the vagal response a few times, too, but I always made it to PB before I fainted. Not so much this time around. I'll be calling my band doc tomorrow for at least a partial unfill. I can't imagine how much more this would have sucked if it would have happened while traveling.

Hello everyone

Well, B I am glad you are better tonight and I hope you will be on your way home soon.

J....wow!!!! That is a awesome ride you got in.

How are you liking your pedals??? I am really liking them lately, and am defiantly noticing why I have them.

John and I went out for a quick ride tonight. Of course we live by hills at the lake, but we have a good route that we can have a mix of flats and hills. Some of these hills are something that I swore I had no need to ride, nor desire to ride last year. This year started with riding to the start of the hill, stopping looking up and going WTF???? BUT!!!!!!

Last weekend, I started and went as far as i could, got off the bike, rested and got my butt back on.

TODAY!!!!! RODE ALL THE HILLS, WITHOUT STOPPING, AND LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT!!!!! LOL

We even increased our Average from last weekend doing the same route....and I am happy to say, John and I' was the same.

Love the granny gear, now that I know when to use it and when not to...LOL....and I love my pedals.....they make a world of diffrence.

I am ready for the covered bridge ride next weekend....it should be awesome.

Ok, I am done babbling

We are the 8th line down on the Fitness Thread. Since when have we dropped from the top three?

Ugh, my people.

Anyway, I came across this amazing website for different vegetable recipes. Sure this is the exercise thread, but this is where I come to share.

Alphabet of Vegetables | A Veggie Venture

Did I tell you I got sun burned yesterday? April in Ohio is odd. My forearms and the tops of my thighs are red. FUNNY!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
