It is pretty here..... I am taking the bike out for some good ole alone time! Talk to you later....

Tammy finally get to get your bike out that is great :)

Well yesterday was our End Of Summer Bash for the All Summer Long poker run - well none of got any good hands - darn it but we had a great ride
on a side note DH's bike is comfortable riding, way better than the Street Glide ever was :) Good Thing for Me

Well I have totally decided tomorrow is the start of my new day and getting back on track will watch my portion control and start exercising and only allow myself Thursday night binge I know I have to do this with Jamaica coming up and needing to be in bathing suits :)

Oh Geez you did refrain yourself well Holly - And it seems maybe the guy was being sincere since he is a rider or made sound that way????
TTYL

CC:- I am with you with getting serious on the WL. I am trying to be at "goal" by the end of this year..... I should have been at goal at my 1 year WL anniversary..... but I am not.

Holly: I am glad you turned the driver in...... and I am glad that the owner/manager was receptive.

It was a beautiful day today..... we rode "nowhere" most of the day. I am a little tired now. I will gab more at ya later.

Well we took off on the bike about 11am and got home about 8:30 tonight - it was very nice riding today until the last 2 hours it got really windy - I mean really windy it was a good thing my bike was in the shop because if I would have had it with me I would have been calling DS to come with trailer and pick it up........ But it was a great day we do not usually bar hop and can't say that we did today but we did stop at 2 and the one we found has $1 beers every Sunday and also serves free food - today was Fish and Beans - last week they had chicken - it changes every week.... So found a new place to go on Sundays :)

A friend of ours is starting the HCG diet and has to eat tons of food the first 2 days then it is strict for the next 24 days like only 500 calories a day and only specific meat 3.5 oz and then specific fruit and specific vegetable
It is drops and she has to put 3 drops under tongue before each meal
One girl we met did it the month of August and lost a pound a day- but I told them that was probably because she was only eating 500 calories a day - No alcohol allowed during the 26 days which not saying that I am a alcoholic but I do like to aleast once a week have a couple of beers

Tammy that is great that you finally got to go riding even if it is nowhere :)

Well I suppose I should get off computer and get a few things done before going to bed - Have a Great Week :)

Im home from my Expedition Everest Challenge. It did not go as planned. For starters, my original partner had to back out on me and my husband took her place which meant a kid free weekend with the hubby so not a bad deal. We dropped the kids off at school and headed south to Orlando got there about 11:30. The hotel let my do early check in so that was nice but they couldn't find my registration, I had brought my conformation paper but couldn't locate it. hHubby finally found it and I see that my name is all kinds of spelled wrong...lol.So we get that straight, get our stuff to the room then catch a bus over to Wide World Of Sports for packet pick up. That all went smooth and we went back to the hotel to get the van and go get some lunch left there back to the room caught another bus got to wide world of sports of a course talk back to hotel, showered and headed to dinner and movie, back to the room to sleep but the bed and pillows were very uncomfortable plus my mind was racing with thoughts. saturday morning comes around we had to McDonald's for breakfast then off to spend a few hours at Animal kingdom. now here is where it gets comical. We decide to ride some river rapids ride and we get DRENCHED, my light khaki skirt was so wet, it was see through and i had on BLACK underwear. luckily I was able to pull my shirt down to help cover...lol Hubby wore his tennis shoes since he decided not to pack his sandels and they were full of water, he was mad, ruined his whole day since we had the race to do that night and he did want to run in wet shoes. I told him we could use the hotels laundry room or just stick the blow dryer in them. he chose that option. so he gets them all dry, we dress for the race and head back to Anmial kingdom where the race was. We were the 13th wave, there was 5 min between each wave so we stood for an hour before it was even our turn. my feet and back where killing me before we even started. So, finally our groups turn about a 1/4 mile into it, it starts to sprinkle, i think ok thats not bad by 1 mile it was raining a lot then the bottom falls out completely. it was raining so hard I could barely see. then the lightning starts and by mile 3 they told us it was over. Mean while the most of the waves had gotten to complete the race, the obstacle course and scavenger hunt, we didn't even get to finish the race(note that Dh's shoes he wanted so dry, um weren't...lol) The sent us straight to the After party site and we got our medals. The point of the after party was to ride some of the rides but had to wait till the weather cleared some. That part was fun we rode the rapids ride 3 times in a row since we were already wet...lol

I am pretty disappointed that we didn't get an official time, thats what i went there for. It was a pretty expensive race that I really wanted to complete to see what I could do. i am still so sore it hurts to walk, get up and down ect. I hope its better tomorrow

Wow Mandy, what an adventure. I am sorry you did not get your time. I am sure you did fine. It is a darn good thing your husband had dry shoes to run in :rofl: In the end, I hope you enjoyed the "alone time". I know when you have young ones it can be few and far between.

Tonight is BL and Sons of Anarchy.....Woo Hoo! Can you tell I have no life? My night is planned around TV.

Today is my weight day at WW..... It will not be pretty b/c of the "DH on vacation binge" last week..... but I am back on track now. If I lose 1.5 pounds a week, I can still be at goal by the end of the year. So, I am shooting for that.

CC: How does DH bike handle, run? Does he LOVE it?

Holly: Step aerobics is my favorite part of bootcamp...... how long is your Keli Roberts tape?

Well ladies, I was up early b/c I could not sleep. DH sounded like a wounded buffalo about 2:30 this AM. So after trying to go back to sleep for 1.5 hours, I got up. I have already walked the dog, cleaned the house, started laundry, and now I am getting ready to go to bootcamp.

Hope you have a good day!

Good Morning Ladies

Well it is only Tuesday but tonight is my TV night as well only get one of those a week- BL and Sons is what I am watching as well but I think Real World Road Rules Challenge starts either tonight or tomorrow night????

The Bike well it runs great and he is loving it-- Good thing I ride my own once it gets done because the passenger seat well to be desired- The seat is fine but the back rest is really small and hits at the wrong spot of my back we have tried moving it but it really didn't help so I think I will be shopping for a different back rest for his bike :)

tammy good luck at WI tonight

Well I was suppose to start exercising but didn't get home from work until 9pm last night so needless to say I was way to tire to workout so Today will be the magical day :)

Well have a great Day

Oh it is like 33 degrees out this morning I am so NOT ready for winter

Well Good News or Bad News???? Ok good news getting a new transmission ordered today for my bike, the one I have well they don't just sell individual parts so have to get a whole new one- Bad News but really not so bad news it is only going to cost $1400 dollars which is almost good news compared to the $4000-$5000 dollars we were possibly expecting........

Well I suppose I should get off computer and get some cleaning done around the house so that I can go for a walk when done

Hope everyones Tuesday is going good :)

CC: Congrats on the good/bad news! Maybe you will get in a few rides before it gets too cold.

Did you see BL last night? Okay, I thought Tracy was my fav...... but not anymore..... and I feel soooo sorry for Coach Mo. He is just along for the ride.

I did not see SOA. I just dozed off and on. I did hear Clay threaten Jacks... if he said anything about the accidental murder of Donna...... or was I dreaming?

Holly- hope you are doing well.

Mandy- I know you did not get to complete your running..... but were you sore the next day for the running you did do? How long had you been training to run?

good evening ladies!! I am puzzled :?: that I get email notification for really obscure threads that I've replied to like once...yet....for THIS thread I hardly ever get notification! :dizzy:

anyway - Mandy - O my gosh, you described your 'adventure' very well :D I am so sorry you didn't get to complete the whole thing and get an official time, but you made the best of a wet situation :cool: Hope you're not sore anymore!

Reda - isn't it funny that $1400 feels like "only" when compared to $4000 to $5000!!! but I'm glad your parts are ordered. I am with you sister, I am SO VERY NOT READY FOR COLD WEATHER!!! 33, brrr!! Now, every ride that we have will have to be embraced as being 'some of the last ones' huh. THats cool you found a new fave bar to visit :)

tammy - best wishes with WI! was that last night or tonight? Oh, I also have no life in the evening , a warm laptop and the TV and I'm set...DH told me he had to stay up to watch SOA which was on at 10:00 pm...I was like, Oh my god, CAN you stay up 'til 10:00 pm?? :rofl: it was like having to stay up to go clubbing late :rofl:

and Tammy, that particular step aerobics tape is about 40 minutes if one does the warmup, parts 1, 2, and 3 (which I do) and cooldown. It's a good one, I do recommend it. Takes a while to memorize though, for a klutz like me!

ttyl!

I hadn't been training...lol I had been when I first signed up but it had been a few months.

i am still a little sore, just the front sides of my ankles. the area where I have a steel plate, right above the outside right ankle became bruised. That was really weird. I think I need to see about have my hardware removed, if its not to late. Its been about 8 or 9 years.

Hey Holly that would be wierd????? Well the transmission for $1400 did not pan out so tonight I have been looking online- I don't know I am so depressed right now, just thinking about spending more than a couple thousand makes me sick with Vegas and Jamaica coming up I have got alot of money tied up and need to keep what I have for spending money- I have some extra but not 5 grand plus labor....... I will keep you updated but like Harley said at the chop shop if it takes a couple months then it takes a couple of months I advised " I will have the transmission ordered by the end of the week no matter what it costs" however DH the gambler is thinking Vegas and spending money......

BL - ya Tracy put herself in the line of fire- but as one of them said - someone was going to have to be voted off whether she picked who weighed in or not????? I did like how she ate 4 CUPCAKES and lost 11 pounds and the gentleman of color ate 3 CUPCAKES and lost 12 pounds so those that ate the cupcakes lost the most weight, go figure........

Tracy will probably be the next one to go if ever under the yellow line and POOR MO he is just along for ride -

SOA well that was good to - Gemma should have shot that guy - I sure would have after something like that...... And yes Tammy you did hear Clay threaten Jacks if the Donna issue was ever brought up again

Well I am watching Real World - Road Rules tonight and then off to bed at 10 which is round about normal time for me

Mandy sorry to hear about your ankle- how long do metal plates usually stay in?


TTYL as I have off the next 2 days but just going to clean house and go for a walk :) Yay me
