but i will...i guess...lol

I love your picture of the group. You look like you're a seasoned veteran rider. You know there will be a time when you weigh less than John (if you don't already) and will routinely ride faster than him.

D,

I LOVE the video. Very nicely done and you look fantastic.

Here is something else cool!

MY 8 yr old daughter wants to do one of my Triathlons! There is a kids sections. She is already fine swiming 4 laps and the bikeing is fine (she biked 7 miles with me last week!) So last night i helped her with running. We ran just around our block and she loved it. Didnt complain. She has to run 1k for the kids triathlon. Is that awesome or what! I actually inspired her.

She has seen me run in a 5k race and was just SOO PROUD.

that is amazing and isnt it a great feeling to know that we are the ones inspiring them to get off the couch and get moving??? We could be where we were last year and they would still be in there rooms and not doing anything active

Way to go

Oh thanks BG, I love that too!!!

HP, I did ride last night...55.59 miles and am so tired and I couldnt' sleep afterwards. It was dark when we got home. I didn't like that at all. We just have these little blinky lights so people can see us, but nothing to help us see. It sucked!! I dont' how people ride that many miles day after day. I feel like I have been hit by a mac truck!!!

OMG!! That is awesome to ride that much at the end of the day. But be safe!! Do they make lights for bikes?

Yes, they make bikes for lights and tail lights too, but we just have never gotten any. We didnt realize how far we were away from home, and by the time we turned around, it was too late to anything but ride home. We really only were in the dark for about 1/2 hour, but that made for slow slow riding.

Who's that is sooooo great about your daughter, there is no better accomplishment than having an impact like that on your kids!!!!!!!!!!!! Way to go!!!!

HP, so we are gonna go about 20-25 tonight...it is suppose to be 98 here today, so hopefully we do get that in. I honestly don't know how people go 100 miles. I really don't, my legs were rubber and I could barely walk. Probably next year I will be doing centuries and laughing at this post!!!

But then again, a year ago, you probably never thought you could ever go 50+ miles either, and look at you now! It's amazing the progress you folks have made in a year. I'm impressed!

      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.
