I finally did it

[Mrs. PBJ]

Ok so I have been lazy the past couple of weeks about biking with phoenix.

When I started biking I could not go 10 blocks without stopping. I know this sound bad. Which it is I have not weighed myself in a while but I can almost garritee I am over 270. Well today I told Phoenix we are going to the beach. Now they are finally rebuilding the man made dock there made out of rocks. So instead of having to go 15 blocks I had to go 20. To the 61st street landing I had my bike and no chain so I had to find a landing to be able to take it on the beach.

I made it today Phoenix played with two boxers. And then I rode all the way to the 81st street light with out stopping. That about 20 blocks so 40 blocks in all and we walked on the beach with the boxer mom.

I am so excited right now. It was cool fun and I met a new person we are meeting up tomorrow witch make me want to go again. So hopefully I will get on this everyday and start loosing some weight.

Congrats! :biggrin2: That's great you met someone to meet up with too, I love meeting new people lol.

Awesome! One of my college buddies got really into biking and lost a TON of weight that way. It also sounds like a really fun way to get out and enjoy the beach with Phoenix!

Good for you! My husband rides 20 miles every morning. It is awesome exercise. Keep it up!!

 

[bunnybunbunb]

20 MILES? A mile here is hard for me because of all the hills. I love biking, but it is hard when you live in the country and half the time you are on gravel and the other half is hills. The down is easy, but the up is killer.

 

[kirbyultra]

Good work!!!! Keep it up!

Great job, Kat!
When I was younger, I didn't have a car, so I rode my bike everywhere I went. I mean, literally, everywhere. I was in awesome shape. Several years later....biking around as my main transportation is no longer practical.

I got a new bike over the summer, and I was SO excited. But I've only ridden in once. By the time I get home from work, I am so, so tired. (Like, falling-asleep- exhausted-tired.)

Congrats!!

Keep it up! x

I think that is great...
It is hard to find the motovation (for me)...to face the world looking how I am now..I quit smoking and with my anti-depressant meds I have gained around 60 pounds more....I try to get out, but having asthma I am not a runner. I like riding the bike I bought from the thrift store...and I find it is easier on my feet and knees then tread mills and what not. BY the end of the day my feet actually hurt...and I think it is from supporting my wieght during the day...
Getting out there and starting is the hard part...keep going!!! I'll stay in your corner cheering you on!!

We did it again today.

The boxers mom oh her name is Amy came by and said she could not make it today so me and phoenix hung out for 20 minutes.

I forgot how much I loved sitting on the beach just looking at the water.

I have to get phoenix a harness I think she has one but I am going to have to hunt it down. Her neck is way bigger then her head and she does not pull or anything but she slipps out of her collar so easily.

We ride on the side walk of the seawall so its a pretty busy street. Tomorrow I am going to have to get up early cause saturday the beaches are packed my 8 am

My goal I am going to start working on monday is to the 57 street light.

I am going farther every week. There is beach to stop and rest phoenix and give her some water after 61st.

I would love to be able to ride to the humane society so I could go ride the big dogs around to tucker there butts out. there on 53rd so in two weeks I would love to be able to do it.

I am so excited with winter coming I can ride her around 7 or 8 as in the summer she has to ride before 6 the concrete gets hot really fast



And thanks for all the suport I bought my bike from a thrift store also.

I will update everyday.

 

[Mrs. PBJ]

I went again today and ate consrete hit a sand patch to hard

 

[Orchid]

OUCH! I hope you are alright...

I have been sick lately and I have asthma so it has kept me at home doing a whole lot of nothing sadly.

Because I have Humana insurance I get a free gym membership...I didn't realize that for years...lol..I joined but barely go...thinking I need to get there more...

 

[Mrs. PBJ]

I am fine have a bruise the size of texas on my leg under my knee it is the same place I got the smaller bruise but nows it huge. Hubby is taking the basket holder off my bike today

Oh and a strtch above my elbow but I would rather have a bruise and a stratch then stay the size I am

 

[Orchid]

I can understand that...

I actually thought about going back to smoking so I would drop the weight, but I thought to myself after everything I have put myself through...hell no...

You are an inspriation..it helps me...to see someone else fighting this battle..

:run:

 

[Mrs. PBJ]

I know this is map quest but I am riding four miles almost a day now oh I made it to 50th and seawall.

It does not seem like four mile but it is I map quested it.

Well its 2 miles once way. I plan to get to 5 miles one way in the next few weeks

You should I have not really changed my eating habits yet but one thing at a time.

I have not been drepressed the past couple of days. And me and hubby have been having a great time. Phoenix loves it to but she has always been in shape.

I plan to lose about 100 pound but I am going to do it the right way diet and extercise.

No surgry or crash diet. Zin is my insperation I met her when she was still heavy and now when I see her in november I can garrintee she will loook great.

 

[bunnybunbunb]

I have lost 100 lbs in the last 2 years. I feel so much better now but I still have a way to go. I LOVE healthy food but since I have become a vegatarian I have become a sugar junkie, too. Luckly I love fruit so that really helps. I have 1-3 fresh fruit smoothies a day(about a cup each).

Does your bike seat hurt your bum? When I got my bike a few weeks ago it hurt my butt so bad. Just this week have I been able to ride it as much as I want and not have a sore butt bone.

 

[Mrs. PBJ]

Luckly my bike has a huge seat I had a small seat bike and my bum hurt.

So when hubby wanted my bike and I was getting a new bike well new used i was looking for a bike with abig seat.

You can find seat and just replace your small one you know what big seat mean when you see it
