Star- I highly doubt you run people off your other thread...ya ding-dong ! You are way too much fun to visit with!

Ok, so tonight is... dum da da dum... bike night at that bar again. Yippee, I get to see Ms. "Thang" in her belly top and hot pants yet again! LOL! I feel really fat and sloshy this week. I have not been exercising much, plus I my dinner meals have not been too healthy. Not sure what the deal is this week. Every day I keep getting back to the diet and do good, but then evening comes I become a I think I need a butt kicking.

Well, I need another cup of coffee... check back in a bit!

Reb - Hum let me run and find that wet noodle icon so I can beat you with it.......oh this one will have to do

The only way to fix you feelings about 'Ms Thang" is to figure out what it is that you dont like about her. Is it only that she has a hot little body and gets all the attention If that is it, well then that should be all the more reason for you to stick to plan, day and night. Excuse me, there I go again Let me step down from this soapbox.....

Reb - You have too much going for you to let alittle weight stand in your way(or alittle blonde bimbo make you ) You have to want to be thinner enuf to really control you eating, exercise, etc. You can do this, you are smart...now get busy....

Now, see how annoying I can be

You crack me up Star! You are so right about everything. I agree that should be my motivation in a sense. Maybe one of these I can have the hot little body. I had a friend that used to tape pictures of models are super gorgeous women on her fridge so that every time she wanted to snack they stared in the face. That could work. Besides I really do want to be thinner, I just have to work a little harder and meeting my goals and ENJOY life instead of being so obsessed with the weight issue. One of these days I will get to my goal if I work hard for it...I just have to remember it isn't going to be next month or maybe not even next year, but it will happen. I also need to remember that the food will always be here and eventually I can indulge in some of it (in moderation, of course) but for now I have to avoid it!

Reb - That's so right, food will always be here on earth. You however will not always be young - NOW sweetie - as Elvis would say (my moms fav) Take Care of Business....
I want a report daily on how we are doing! Remember you owe this to yourself and no one else (well maybe to strut in front of that waitress)...lol

good morning chicks!!!

Andrea - what helped me in the beginning, when the "end" goal (or even losing one clothing size) seemed SO far away, and so unattainable...was....all I could do was my very best each day. So when I went to bed, I could honestly say, "I am trying my best. And I was completely on program today." And even if I couldnt see/feel/weigh/measure any difference, if I knew that I had done the basics....eat sensibly/exercise at least 4X/week/drink water, then SOMETHING was happening. for the better.

Do you know what you have in your favor? YOUR YOUTH!!!!! I WISH I had started myfitness journey earlier. As it is, I know I look OK for 44 (ooops, let it out ) but I ain't NEVER gonna look as good as any 30-yr.old. Let alone a 20-something like you!!! Even if it takes a year...or two...you HAVE the potential to be a trim, toned, smokin' young woman. Who loves bikes. Now how hot is that

Stick that on your refridegerator and RUN with it

Hi Trina!! your weather is good? our is COLD! we had two beautiful days earlier in the week, then a cold front came through. It was a very chilly 22 degrees this morning! supposed to warm up to 55-60. I have two new pair of sunglasses promoted by a biker friend that I want to road-test; I tried to yesterday, but even with layers and full leathers and the dreaded fullface helmet, was freezing.

OOOOO!!! Guess how many miles I've gotten in since March? 1900 my mechanic calls me "his high-miler"

I'm also going to buy some new sunscreen that is distributed by a local, it's supposed to be fantastic for the sport/active folk. Completely waterproof so a big part is not running into one's eyes and stinging/blinding. So important for riding! Apparently is has good ol zinc oxide, but they found a way to break down the molecules so it isn't' the old fashioned pure white cover, it's a lotion that is clear.

With me wearing my half-helmet, my face is exposed so much. i want to protect it for health AND vanity I have learned to tie a bandana around, so most of my forehead is covered. Protected from the sun/wind, and keeps hair in place, and keeps the halfie from blowing around my noggin .

Andrea mentioned ding-dongs I am a classically trained pastry chef, but I still love crap like that

I am trying to cope with my personal stuff. I think I just didn't even think of solo counseling. Which smells bad, because why should I do all the work? but the end result is I want to be happy. doesn't help that I have discovered that huband checks naked lady sites daily (he didn't clear his "History".) You know the web addy - ww.womenwho are hotter than your wife.com Or maybe ww.women who are hotter than who you are stuck with.com. I think it's pathetic for someone who has let themself go so very badly, be cruising sites, when his wife has taken good care of herself for 2 1/2 years doesn't get compliments.

Oh, yeah, I'm dealing with stuff just fine

well, wish me warmer weather!

love ya, girls. thanks somuch for your help lately.

***EDIT - I MADE UP THOSE WEBSITE ADDIES! just in fun! I take no responsibility if they are real! or what might be on them!! ***

Morning Hot Chick Riders.......

Holly, nice long post, you are a good chickie!

About your out of shape DH What is his problem He goes to porn sites and has the answer to those issues right there in you From what you have shared with us Holly, I think he needs to go to counseling and maybe by himself Boy when you found he was going to the girly sites, that must of been a slap in your face You deserve to be treated much better, considering what you have done to keep your mental/physical health in top shape Okay enuf of that, off the soap-box please

Oh and you gave great advice to our Rebel! I second all of that

Well our weather was nice and then it got cold, it just stinks - never know what it's about to do. All I know is that I'm a fair weather rider and this is making me mad.....my poor cycle is in the garage wanting to go somewhre
Oh and Holly, I do the same with a bandana scarf and the forehead (it also hides any wrinkles up there)

Andrea - how was the biker meeting at the resturant last night? Was the ugly girl( ) there?

Hugs Biker Babes...ride tough!

Good morning ladies!

For some reason the last page of this thread is not being allowed to come through at work...so I can't see what you ladies posted about, but just wanted you to know that I'm still here. Our censors at work are really touchy I guess, so if there are cuss words or something they forbid the site. LOL. Anyway I will try to check back later. Have a good day!

Hi Andrea -
I went back and cleaned up my post, there were afew semi bad words in there. Hope you get it now.....

Holly probably needs to do the same on her post.

Hugs

Hi chicks -

Just got back from COD and I got to hear the victory bell again - go-trina Almost 6 pounds (well 5.9) since vacation.

They are having a special at my COD this month. If you donate clothes you get 10% off your next purchase. I guess I will buy some more lites before months end (it's either that or enter rehab )

Okay - I'l be outta here soon. You chicks have a great on plan weekend..
Hugs

good evening!!!

well Andrea, I'm sorry if we got censored I went back and changed some things, but I wouldn't have thought they would have been a problem...

Trina, CONGRATS!!! you loser, you That is great!

so sorry about the weather being *$#@^%&* there how's that I did about 60 miles today, and it was barely 60 degrees, but very sunny. I was decked out in two thermal shirts, jeans, chaps, leather jacket, gauntlet gloves, scarves, and halfie with bandanna (you're right about the bandanna also covering the forehead wrinkles )

Yes, I was quite angry about the girly site visits. It's subsided...to a glowering resentment. I'll hold it in quietly 'til it can be used for ammunition.

well ladies, have a good Friday evening!

Holly -

Yes, at the perfect moment, bringing up the girly sites will be priceless. Plus, to me, saving it for the perfect time is kinda like what a man would do - right?

Hi Rebel - and how was everyone's weekend?
I'll post more later....Hugs

Good morning ladies! I really missed you girls!!! Thank you for changing your posts. I work in a school and they are VERY picky about what's allowed.

I hope you had great weekends. Mine was alright. This weekend will be crazy busy. On Friday night I have a graduation, Saturday is a poker run to benefit the troops, and Sunday I am hosting my SIL's baby shower.

Holly-- Oh, I would be so mad to have found the girly sites!! Especially since you are a sweet, fun, hottie! It's typical of SOME men, they are never happy with what they have. My husband has a collection of magazines, which iritates me. But I am not in good shape right now. He isnt either, though. One of these days I will be, though. Although, I decided if you can't beat them...join them. I told him that I am going shopping for some magazines geared toward women and then I'll make a big deal of being secretive with them. Thanks for the advice too, I am going to print that off, so that I can remind myself.

I have never been on a poker run before so this will be really fun! We had our motorcycle club meeting on Saturday and of course I was the only chick there. I think that the guys are getting pretty used to me now, though. I think they'd be shocked if Mike went without me.

Star- Congratulations on being the loser! I am proud of you!!! Did the weather get any nicer over the weekend?

We rode the bike and went to a car show on Saturday after the meeting and I wore sunscreen on my face, but I still burned a little. It was even SPF 30. Does sunscreen become old or inaffective after time? It may be 3 years old...

Well, I will pop back in later!

Hi Rebel and Holly,

Check and see if there is ann expriation date on the sunscreen. BUT I would probably just buy some new stuff. I'm very fussy about my skin. When we went to the Harley 100th anniversary in Milwaukee, it was DH, me and another couple. We rode from Michigan up thru the UP and then down to WI, when we got there I was the only one that didn't resemble a raccoon........and in my opinion, I looked best......lol
About those girly magizines, chalk that up to male hormones...no big deal. My DH reads them at work, I know becuz he tells me about some of the articles. He doesn't have them at home. And Reb - even when you get to goal he'll probably still have them or look at them - it's a guy thing. My DS has them on his coffee table and guess who got him the subscription? His sister-in-law, now if I was his DW (my DIL) I would kill my sister, but their young and silly.....
Reb - Sounds like you have a really busy weekend coming up. Do you have any plan of attic where food is concerned? Cuz that sounds like three days of celebration foods. I find that I do best it I have a plan and try to stick to it.....
I have never been on a poker run, have heard alot about them and they sound awesome. On June 5th we are going on a run to benefit Pentickton Center for Blind
Children. We have gone 2 other times and this is a nice ride, out in the country and then a shing-dig afterwards, with food, music, alot of skin, drunks - you name it...lol
Our weather has been awful, to the point of not riding - it's been cold and rainy....
I need to get some riding in before the "Ride for A Reason" benefit, don't want to forget any of the important stuff in front of 1000 other bikers...lol
Hugs

Star- You are so right about the magazines. Do you think that guys would feel funny if we looked at "boy magazines"? I wonder that b/c physically my dh has gained some this year and I wonder if it would mess with his self esteem like that stuff tends to to with mine. I do think that men are visual and full of hormones. Although, the hormones are there. Sometimes they get too lazy as they age to do much about it.

Oh, did I tell you that I am doing a Dr. approved liquid diet? Starting today. My plan is to exercise 5x a week, 30 minutes. I get 4-5 shakes a day plus some fruit and veggies. I decided that I will stick 100 % to plan for 2 weeks, then have 1 free day, then back to it. I am wanting to do this for 20 weeks. I'm going to do my best. So, for the weekend poker run I will pack some ice cold shakes, on Sunday the baby shower won't be bad b/c I don't care for cake or sweets anyhow.

Rebel - No you didn't tell us about your new shake diet/plan - that is great Rebel! Tell me more about it, is it sponsored by the hospital? I ask becuz I had a friend that did that before and she had alot of success. Her loss was very fast also.....but it is very important to do the maintenance.
See, sounds like you have a plan of attack for the weekend and that's what I'm talking about. It's all about being prepared and not go with no plan.........way to go girl!
About guys and girly magizines. I don't know if our looking at male magizines would bother them, but I've never had the desire to try it. I guess it's alittle different since my DH doesn't have them at home, but I think the bigger deal you make out of it the worse it is on you - trust me it is no big thing. It's not like he's gonna call one of them for a secret meeting or anything. For some reason a guy isn't as concerned about alittle weight gain as we are. It's a double standard though becuz they do like us to keep that under control - go figure?
