Good day T2,
I've been MIA for about a week, and I'm trying to catch up on some journal reading and posting. Boy! With a week sneaking past the journals sure advance quickly! I too, love the "PASTA" diet, boy do I need to put that one to work for me, and as for the weightloss story......... I love it. Thanks so much for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful day of course! The sleep fairy has been attempting to make a few pit stops here to visit me but no lenghty visits :( I wsa hoping she was due for sleep over :D
 
Hey T2!!

What's goin' on? Hope you're having a good time! Love the pasta diet joke... When I first saw It was I like "NO WAY! A pasta diet?!" And then I was like.. "OH..." *Palmface*

... Have a great day... and stay cool.

-K-

Cool is the Rule !! yeah, I know, guys my age shouldn't use lines like that. Go ahead and stamp my forehead with a dayglo "uberlame" decal.:)

Nice T2, Thanks for sharing it.

I love to share :) ;) :p

I liked the pasta diet i need to get my butt on that one!! (walk pasta the ho ho's!!) Anyway trucker keep up the good work and take it easy cheesy!! STAR

ho ho's ?? I learned to walk past them in every truckstop parking lot in America years ago, but I'll keep that in mind for the future *grins*

Tammy WoW !! Thank You !!

Hello pretty lady :) I have to swing by your diary to see if you've been a good girl or a bad girl. The diaries are flowing for sure, not a sport for dial-up user to engage in anymore. Who knew weight loss could move this fast ?? I think we get caught up in telling lies and just ramble on and exceed the legal limit of fun while losing our weight. I'd hate to see us slow down now, right ??

Hi T2! That story was awesome, thanks!
Hi beckster !! I was hoping to get an open discussion about that story from somebody, anybody !! no takers :( maybe it was a slam-dunk story after all.

So how you feeling T2? Any late night bicycling?

No Debi, I fell off the wagon again - just for one day tho. I just got done doing a 25 minute session a lil bit ago and will shoot for a double up tonight sometime. As far as my sleep goes, I got sucked into a 4:30am bedtime and woke up at 8:30 to take my daughter to work. 15 years of trucking just can't be erased with those wicked sleep habits :(

OK - just how badly did you fall?

4 hours is not enough...even the DOT wouldn't look at that kindly...

Your body needs sleep, but most importantly, you need to shoot for a regularly scheduled sleep.

Diet stayed in check, exercise - none :( I wish I could say this biking thing 'did it for me', apparently it's not. I will improve.

*head down* I know I know ....

hehe, there's days DOT woulda gave me a gold star for 4 hours sleep :D
 
Yeah, but you're not supposed to count the 2nd set of logs ;)

And at least the food aspect was good - it wasn't too bad of a fall!

Somehow I still feel like a day without some locomotion is a bad day, well not bad bad, just kinda imcomplete or 'weight isn't being lost'. I need to let go of that...

ok, here's what I did accomplish today. I signed up for the following adult class at night from our local vo-tech.

Anatomy and Physiology* (See Below) $125.00 TU & TH 5:30 - 8:30 24 09/26 - 10/19 Kristen Baughman
Pharmacology* ** (See Below) $125.00 M & W 6:00 - 8:30 22 11/1 - 12/06 Elsie Maurer
Medical Terminology* (See Below) $99.00 M & W 6:00 - 8:00 20 09/25 - 10/30 Elsie Maurer

Insurance Billing * ** (See Below) $225.00 TBA 6:00 - 9:00 30 TBA Belinda Sabol
Medical Coding - ICD9-CM ** (See Below) $250.00 M & TH 6:00 - 9:00 45 TBA Belinda Sabol
Medical Coding - CPT ** (See Below) $250.00 M & TH 6:00 - 9:00 45 TBA Belinda Sabol

all the ** are prereq's for medical coding so the TBA's will start sometime after the New Year break. It looks like I'll have a 3 week span of Monday thru Thursday.

I'm taking these courses because I can't get in an accredited university until June 2007 at the earliest so my caseworker thought it would be a good idea to use up my 2006 budget on some health-related subjects.

I'm pretty excited to start being an untrucker.

It sounds like an excellent work load!!

When I took Anatomy & Physiology in college, I was dating a fireman.
Ohh my...he was an amazing specimen of the subject matter ;)

He might be looking you up on one of those class reunion.coms as we type. If he saw your new pic, I'm sure new subject matters would develop :D

Bahh! I was much thinner then than I am now - and he left me to go back to his wife (he was apparently separated at the time!) :eek:
 
that was a great story - i'm going to see if this being kind to yourself thing works. does anyone know how exactly to do it?

hmm. i like me, i like me, i like me :D

maybe its time to pretend to be our own best friends - eventually thats what we'll become :)
 
hey there trucker, you class load sounds heavy man, soon you will have to change your name from
T2 Trucker to smartypants

hehe, I enjoyed your take on this, you tripped my giggle meter :D

I find so many authors reaching for an angle - especially the 'love thyself'. I think most people like themselves and hate the fat. I doubt we have to dig into self-analyzation to the point that we ever doubted our unhappiness was more than a social discomfort and the ill-health affects.

Hey T2, my sister is taking classes at IVY Tech for Medical Coding. She finishes this December!!


Is she liking it ?? any mention if it's a difficult course ??

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it other than get out of the house and get back into the thinking world.

I'm lucky to have something to study in such a small town without extensive travel - espicially with winter coming on. I lterally live 3 minutes away and makes this an affordable proposition until I can receive full-time student status and all the perks that go with it ;)


Hi T2!!! Just stopping in to say 'Hello!!!' Hope everythings going well!

Yeah, everything is going well here except you chicks making look wimping on my bike :( Touche` on singeing your protege. Good karma ownz :p

haha cowgirl !! I'm sure it will feel like being strapped in the electric chair at first but I should be able to handle a couple hours a day for four days a week - at least I sure hope so View attachment 1504

My wisdom ?? I thought I was just an above-average bullshitter ;) (most truckers are :))
