It's been almost a year since I exercised other than PT. Starting out slow at the gym on the stationary bike. Can't wait until my butt gets used to the bike seat again...ouch!

I have a really nice recumbent exercise bike that I bought a little over a year ago. This summer I had my right knee (which had meniscus repair on in April) pop and really hurt after riding one day and have not been on it since. I paid over $400 for it. I will be getting back on it when my Doctor and PT say I can. I just had meniscus surgery on the Left knee on Friday.

Welcome, Jim's Gem. That's an inpressive weight loss for this time of year. Can you tell us how you did it?
Mary, can you get a more comfy seat? I put one on my regular bike several years ago. It was a great investment for $20. I gave away my Schwinn AirDyne and can't ride my bicycle because of balance problems. I'm hoping by the time the snow goes that I will be able to ride again. Moira would love it if I can. Lily never did care for running beside the bike. I'm tired tonight so it may be a good time to try to get back on more normal hours. If I go to bed before 3, I could get up with the rest of the world. But not before this runner is done. Life keeps getting in the way and next week is filling up, too. I had my protein early so I made broccoli with rice and cheese tonight. I know I should have had some chicken, too, but I didn't feel like touching raw chicken just then. I'll cut up some for me tonight when I butcher a chicken for the furgirls. We share though I cook my portions. I am losing weight and becoming healthier. Judy |

I tried to ride the bike at PT and fell off! I could not balance on the seat and my foot kept hitting the pedal guard. I suggest you go to a bicycle shop and ask them about their most comfortable seat.
Keep up the good work! I'm back to PT tomorrow, today was my day off. I actually missed it. I have a cardio machine at home I am going to use on Saturday, with the permission of my Rehab Therapist. Yesterday I went on a small cookie binge but I'm back on the wagon today. |
When I bought my pink bicycle, it came with a rather skimpy seat. I replaced it with a thicker and slightly wider one with gel padding from a big box store. It was $19.95 a few years ago. I put the skinny one on Freecycle and it went quickly. If I can't ride this Spring, I think I will look for a used tricycle. I might feel silly for a few days, but it beats not riding at all.
MJ, I have wanting to bake cookies today. If I do one of these days, I will package them in 2s or 3s and be alert to only one package a day. I can do it with muffins, so I should be able to do it with cookies, especially if I freeze them. It's not the cookies that are the problem - it's the serving size. And sometimes the ingredients, but by making my own, I know what's in them. No artificial anything, no high fructose corn syrup, lower sugar, etc. Brown sugar ice box cookies with walnuts sound good. Thank goodness I'm not allergic to tree nuts, just peanuts, which aren't really a nut. I bought some sunflower butter. Yick, but I'm not a fan of sunflower seeds so I don't know what made me think I'd like sunflower butter. Almond butter isn't bad. I just used some of my Christmas money to order some black suede boots. Does that mean I think our snow will return? The weather report doesn't sound good and this week is the North American Snowmobile Festival. Oh, oh. Back to the sewing machine. Have a good evening, y'all. |
Hi, I just registered and am excited at all the things on this site. I went to the doctor today and was told I really need to lose some weight and this seems like a great place to start. Count me in and i'll go read the rules and figure out what I need to do next.
Thanks |
I will get my fat qtr in the mail Friday

Irishrose - When you are going for stiff egg whites in damp weather Cream of tartar is your friend. A little jar will last a long time.
I ate Chinese last night. Didn't do bad with my portion, but I can tell it had way too much salt. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. I will drink my water today, I Will drink my water today. I WILL drink my water today! Kris |
