Girl Passing on Left (FULL) (Page 111)

I've never seen those Power Grips before. I might have to check into those! Until I get used to my new shoes/pedals.

Morning everyone.  I'm up early, ready to run, and it's raining outside again.  And not just a little bit of rain.  I was prepared to run in the drizzle, but not this downpour.  My few days at home haven't really turned out like I planned.  Oh well, I'm heading to Atlanta for a few days (and driving through this storm!), and will hopefully get a few runs in up there!

Even though it is only Thursday, I wish everyone a good weekend!

I have a set that I used for my duathlon; did the whole thing in running shoes and breezed through the transitions   I like them better than the toe clips I had from an older bike: more secure without having to fiddle with straps to get in and out.

no, I meant like the type that are on my spin bike.  the toe goes into the strapy deal and you can pull up and forward ish when your foot is in them. Wonder if they make those for bikes that are not spin bikes..........  I would never want to add any weight to my bike LORD KNOWS......so metal cages are so not gonna happen.

thanks for the ideas Trish !  I just think since I have tennis elbow I'm screwed when it comes to the bike.......  I'd like to have it worked on /mri etc........but not willing to do it until the June tri is over. lol.  I wanted to do one this month but was not used to my bike, so knew it would be stupid to try it without knowing how my bike works ! lol

Offthegrid - 2009-04-01 6:21 PM I broke my weight loss barrier!!!! I'm officially in the 180s baby!!!! I woke up this morning to try out housemate's new scale. 187.0. Really? 187? Really? Really? I thought I would cry or something, but I was a little in disbelief. At the Y, it was 189. And then at Weight WAtchers tonight, it was 189.8, so the three scales confirm it! (I've *never* been below 192 as an adult, and I'm now around the weight I was in 7th grade. My highest was 270. Dieters on another forum call what I experienced the Bermuda Triangle of weight loss.) And now, I'm 2 pounds away from my Weight Watchers 10% goal -AND- from no longer being classified as "obese" but merely as "overweight." (I was "morbidly obese." And, it's like ... there are all these new and exciting changes emerging, but also a little trepidation. So, first the exciting changes. I tucked in my undershirt this morning, and I LOOKED GOOD. I mean, I looked hawt. I could totally see myself actually tucking in a shirt for the first time in my life. My PF pain is better. My thighs are getting so much smaller. All of my pants are loose again, except the fake Size 10s. My body is literally shrinking a lot! It's like, holy cow, I'm not fat! The trepeditation. I guess I'm like, "OK, so I made my goal that I've been striving for forever. Now what?" And I know the answer is to just keep doing what I'm doing and not sweat it too much. I set a goal to weigh 175 by July 26 of this year. And, I could then strive for another 10% at WW, which would get me under 170. And then, who knows? I guess I'll just keep eating healthy, and whereever I stop losing weight is probably where I'll declare goal. Also, I know Easter is coming up, and I am worried that if I eat anything real starchy - like a gluten-free cake - that I will eat out of control. And I'd like to get past that, but I also don't want to eat 5 pieces of gluten-free chocolate cake. Maybe I'll take a ton of fresh fruit and have some chocolate - regular chocolate, not cake - instead. I think I'd be in better control of that. Anyhow, it was an AWESOME day for me! Edited for dumb typo. (As opposed to a smart typo.)

SOOOOOOOO awesome Susie! congrats on the new you!

as for Easter....eat before you go and try and stay away from the food table! and fruit is a great idea! I am soo proud of you!

I own a treo now...but soon to buy an iphone. Im with you...been wanting one for some time now! good luck!

ok you are killin me with all the avatars changing ! I can't figure out who the hell you are for a second ! lol........... I think folks that change it alot are called "Serial avatar changers"

lol

Dh and I are cheap ! lol  So we use cheap phones we got from ebay and then we pay as we go on verizon (like the cards at walmart only we do it automatic).  We pay around 20$ per month and if we get too low, it will automaticlly add like $5.00.

We had one phone that was given to us by a guy who could not get service (it's an older verizon flip phone, and dh got two more one for his mom and one for me for CHEAP on ebay). we also have car chargers as well.

we have no plan, and dh loves it that way (of course we can't get cute ring tones, or fancy stuff.......but they call who I want when I want)
