J, I forgot to tell you that you really DO look like the news anchor woman. You stated that awhile back with your hairdo...and yes I agree.

Oh, Windex, good idea.

I actually had a womans saddle on my mans bike and loved it. It was hard. This one seems really soft and cushy to me, I will see what happens over the next couple of rides and decid change it out to something else.

I did find that if the saddle is not level it does rub in all the wrong places.....NOT A GOOD THING!!! We are going camping on Wednesday and wont be back until Sunday. I know you will miss me. It is a sad thing, but I will return. With pictures of all my fish I catch. I am going to miss my creamsicle....A LOT!!

Get wifey to do it with you!!!

Thanks for the congrats. I still hate it though. I am really trying but I do not know why anyone would think that feeling like your chest is going to explode is a good thing. And this is at maybe 4mph lol. I can bike at 15+mph for 50 miles but I can't even run 1 mile in 10 minutes. It is really kind of sad.

Traci,

You look really pretty in your avatar. What amazing cheekbones!

Stacy,

A 10 minute mile is pretty quick. Don't be so hard on yourself.

thanks everyone!!!!!D...I know what you mean about taking the daughter along. She rode with us last week and was barely moving at 10....my friends kicked her up a notch and got her excited and she is pushing a little harder now. She has a big issue with pedaling and than stopping....and than stopping to get off her bike all together.....But...we are hoping she is getting more confident, and I dont care to have rides like that because I know she is out there riding and that is all that matters...she is a kid...(i have to remember that sometimes)

But thanks about the picture.....I am totally amazed lately...and it is definatly a good motivation to keep working so hard.

We are riding tonight..just john and I, and than hoping we dont get allot of rain so we can get some in on our days off....

B....YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!

All of you running....amazes me!!!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
