Recommended Posts

Aww J I am glad I could inspire you =) Good shoes are definitly key. Just like getting a bike you want to go to the specialty store and get fitted. The prices are very compareable to what your would find elsewhere and they have much more of a selection. Start slow and don't give up. I started running at a slower pace than which I walked. The couch to 5K is awesome and only takes up 30 minutes a day 3 times a week. I have a treadmill you could borrow if you need it lol.

D, I put the thongs under the belly. One day they are going to look amazing on my flat surgery enhanced belly but not today.

I don't have anything serious going on just yet. I do however have a (few) different situations brewing!

As for the 14th date thing, what if I am not the one doing the fondling? :-)

I have decided however that the Amish thing is probably not going to work out based on the shock I was in when I saw that damn sea of grey in my beard! WTF How in the hell did that happen?

D, I heart rock hard calves.

BG, if all goes well a return to my jogging routine after work today.

J, congrats on the decision to start running!

I am going to that rock climbing gym this week to check it out. I may go on Wednesday because that is when the ladies get a discounted rate!

I also need to find a store around here that can get me into some proper running shoes.

Ok.....lng story short...the one place that I found is only open on Monday and fridays over the winter months..guess it is considered winter here with 90 degree temps????

The other place wanted a 1200 deposit, and no bike rack......I would of been 30 some miles from where I needed to get to someplace safe.

I am not giving up...there has got to be somewhere I can go....

there is a gym and pool here at hotel...went swimming last night....man I love that......

anyway..classes are good, miss having someone to hang out with though.....been lost more times than I can count....LOL

Stefanie42467,

Well if you're going to hang you need to shorten that right there. We have an S already, but he doen't peep up too much these days.

Welcome though. We are a bunch of nuts and there are many inside jokes, but if you are bored enough to read from the beginning or from about May you'll get the gist of many of them.

Where are you etc. We want to know when you were banded, how filled you are, when did you start cycling, which state do you call home, do you have kids, are you single, JC is sorta apparently still and is in Florida.

Welcome welcome.

      Saw my PCP & officially started my 6 month supervised diet 07/26/24. She just told me to eat less carbs & sugar, use the air fryer and not fry my foods in grease, and to try to walk 30 minutes 3 days a week & if I can't do that (and I cannot), to walk 10 minutes daily. Told me to walk fast enough that my heart rate is raised.  She didn't give me a number as far as calories though. A year or so ago I was doing low carb/sugar free and keeping my calories at 1800 or below. She said I should up my cals to 2000 at that time, so that's what I'm shooting for now.
      Hubby walked with me today. He's in pretty bad shape so I was surprised he wanted to. We walked down the gravel road at a pretty good pace (for us LOL). 10 minutes walking and my heart rate was 115bps according to my Fitbit and 125bps according to his pulsometer. Either way, it was elevated and I was breathing hard. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a start. We'll do it again tomorrow. 😁
      I should be hearing from the surgeon soon. She said if I didn't, to call him next week. Since I HAVE to do the 6 month diet & that's going to put me into January by the time it's done, I'm hoping the surgeon will let me do all my testing in January. I don't want to do it all now and have my deductible get met, only to have to pay the deductible again in January or February for my surgery. Praying that things go the way I hope. 🙏

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness.
