Topic: I Just Bought a Bike !!!
I've been thinking of ways to increase my exercise, by making my lifestyle less sedentary. Last year, I gave up my van and began walking. This year, my goal was to start cycling.... so, yesterday... I bought a bike !!
I bought a second-hand ladies mountain bike at the local cycle shop, for only $60. I rode for over an hour and my legs were like jello. Slowly, I hope to rebuild the endurance and make cycling a part of my daily routine.
Now, can someone please bring me warmer weather?

We all have to remember that we are still human. I know we think we are not since having WLS but believe me we are human and make mistakes but it's seeing these mistakes and trying to do something about them and correcting them and we have each other to lean on which is a great big help.
Summer is around the corner and we need to get more active
That's what I'm going to do but believe it or not. It's SNOWING here today
I thought our snow was done and over with.

Hi Ladies!
Wow March flew by!
I gained 6lbs!
I have not been watching my calories, I have gone out 2 weekends and drank alchohol (sp?) (alot) that was alot of fluid calories! I am so ashamed! I really do feel so guilty for gaining . I am back on track now but scale has not moved.
Now that it is nice outside I have been walking the trails in the evening when I get off work and really pushing the water.
Believing April will be a better month!

I'm still here
just been busy with work and trying to improve my home a little. Carpet is the worse thing when you have dogs
Now I'm having to make the hard decision to give up my bird and it's pulling at my heart
I love him to death but since going nights at work I don't seem to have the time or give him the attention he needs and that's not fair to him.
I'm trying to stay off that darn scale but it's hard.

Hi Donna,
There you are. I've been wondering where you
have been. I bet your new floor looks great. I
would love a wood floor.
Yeah, this weight yo yo stuff is for the birds.
One day I weigh one thing and the next day
it's something else.
Take care and thanks for posting.

Well, I only weigh on the 15th of the month....but I was down a couple pounds on March 15th. I finally made it into the 180's. Next mini-goal is to make it out of the 180's. LOL

I gained 10 pounds
I went from 153 up to 163 and even saw the scale jumped to 166
I'm trying to watch what I'm eating and I'm actaully on a shrimp kick right now so I'm down to 161. If my body wants me around this weight then fine but I just don't want to start putting all my weight back on.
I have off the next three days and I'll be busy painting my living room. My son and husband just laid down a new hard wood floor in my living room. Now it's talking him into doing my steps and the landing on the top of the steps

Congratulations! From one former Southsider (Chicago - used to live in the Beverly neighborhood until moving to Mn in 2001) - CONGRATULATIONS GIRL!! Here's the link to the article: http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/dsindex/15-ds2.htm
Dr. Cahill actually performed emergency bowel surgery at Little Company a few months ago on my aunt - my uncle, until he met Dr. Cahill, was vehemently opposed to my having WLS. Even after I had it, he told me I had made a 'huge mistake', etc. Now that he has met Dr. Cahill and mentioned antecdotally (sp?) that his neice had WLS - he got an earfull from Dr. Cahill and has nothing but postitive things to say to me.
Anywho, congrats again. I think paying it forward is a great idea. Kudos to you!!!! You look STUNNING, btw!!
