Remember the goal I had in January?

Anyone out there remember when I very first made my attempt at exercising?  It was in January and I posted to everyone to help keep me accountable. I still remember how scared I was to go to the gym.  I remember trying to avoid looking in those mirrors because I looked so fat even though I had already lost a good bit of weight.  After the months past and I was more tone and fit I decided to try biking and loved it.   Today I rode from Yukon to El Reno.  Yep.  It was a blast.  It was 40 miles round trip and I found this wonderful Mexican bakery in El Reno and had the most delicious pastry.  Sorry Dr. Broussard.  Of course since I burn 500 calories and hour biking and was biking for 3 hours I'm not too worried.

Having WLS has transformed my life!  I am no sitting on the couch eating myself to death.  Next week I bike a half century ride (50 miles) in Tulsa at their Fall Century Ride so all you Tulsa peeps think of me if you see those bikers out there.

Thank you to everyone on this board for making this a safe place to post our goals, concerns, victories, and even disappointments.  No one else quite understands like y'all do.

Major Props to you lady!!! WAY TO GO, I read your post and just had to tell you that you ROCK...You should be so proud of yourself for all that you accomplished...Keep going girl, you are motivation! 

Enjoy that pastry, and enjoy a rest...You have earned it!

Hey girlie!!  Do I recognize that cowboy/pirate in your picture?

Yes ma'am that is your favorite pirate...That is back in April on his boat between St. Thomas and Buck Island...There are more recent pics on my page from Puerto Rico. He is actually a few more oceans away this week in New Zealand for work. We have a lot of fun together...and since he is the love of my life, I think that is a great thing! 

Congrats again!!!

Wow Amy, your accomplishment(s) are mind-blowing!  In a MILLION years would you have been able to imagine such a feat before surgery?  Congrats on the ride.  Keep rockin!  Michael
