Why thank you! I hope you achieve all your goals! its worth it! 100% even if its hard getting there!
 
(((Wishes))) I'm so happy for you...being on the home stretch, as you say. And I had this big smile on my face as I read about your sexy new clothes and your husband wanting you to take them off. LOL Fantastic! It is so good to feel at your optimum. You deserve this great feeling, you've worked hard for it.

My waist is 32" and I weigh 150. It's my hips and gut that are naughty.
 
I also loved the clothes/hubby story...but just watch out he doesnt try to tear them off! If you get much sexier you may have to RUN:) Congrats to you AGAIN...and thanx for being an inspiration to us all!

Haha yeah my hips and thighs and ass :)

I had a shit day. Had to deal with a VERY abusive co-worker which left me .. the hard ass *nevereverevereverevercries* geek chick - in the toilets blubbering like a baby for a good 30 mins.
I just about walked out and went home.
The dude flew at me from totally out of the blue swearing and yelling .. hes management and works closely with the CEO.
Anyway formal complaint, dealing with the CEO somewhat he says 'hes an old dude, doesnt see that hes wrong, hes a cock but hes good at what he does, you can either lay a complaint and we go through formal channels or just realize hes an egg and avoid him'
Apparently the guy has done it to others before.

I think work is stupid for excusing his behavior with excuses. To be honest you could talk yourself to death but the guy seriously doesnt see what hes done wrong, so theres no real point in mediation and other crap.
He said sorry but only under duress, hes a classic abuser personality. Ive decided to just leave it as it is and completly ignore him from now on in. I dont deal with him at all at work other than happening to be in the coffee room at the same time.

Anyway i dont want to be dishing dirt on my work or naming names, or even wanting any advice. Im just letting yall know that shit has happened, its been dealt with, and im just a little sensitive today, so yeah im gonna avoid posting for a day or three maybe.
And in fact id rather appretiate it if people didnt give me their opinion on it, some things better forgotten.

On another better note - my Garmin Edge 305 has been shipped today! i outta get it tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my daughters birthday - shes 11! So i had to bake a cake (and burn dinner... eek one of those days) and it was nigh on impossible not to eat mixture.
I will in future avoid baking cakes i think.
 
I know you're a cyclist, so I'm assuming a Garmin Edge 305 is a super nice bike? That's cool if so....I just wanted to say I hope you get good sleep tonight...and enjoy your daughter's birthday tomorrow. Good night.

try a chicken birthday 'cake'. we had it in the office once when there wasn't anyone to bake a real cake. (yes, we locals seldom/dun even bake at all).
so i got a whole bbq chicken frm the supermarket instead and stuck 2 candles on top. it looks weird from the chinese pt of view. as if we r offering it to the gods or something... lol.:p
my director said first time he ate a protein rich cake.

sorry to hear abt yr bad day. i used to hv one of those days when was still in the Navy. my supervisor went thru it once and disappeared for a good 3 hours. shocked the officer and he shut up from then on.
 
What's a bit of mixture between friends? And you can call a cry now and then a tear-duct clean-up. It's good for you. :)
Call me curious, but here it is:
I'm dying to hear all the training data you get from this miracle machine...

I'm always the resident cake baker because I'm pretty good at it, but it makes it soooo hard because I usually end up EATING what I bake! Enjoy your new toy! I would love to be able to buy an elliptical for the house, but we just can't afford it now. I'm determined to get one eventually, though!

I've been thinking about how losing a lot of weight might effect my marriage. I can't really find anything on the boards here about it, which surprised me. Are we not allowed to talk about 18+ subjects like sex?
 
Howdy Wishes,
I am sorry about your crappy day at work,I definatley don't miss that part but watching 3 extra kids in my home for $$ sometimes I wonder how much longer in the sanity department lol.
I have had bad cake woes lol the lastone was so lopsided it could have been sold at a circus freak show.Anyway enjoy your weekend and your daughters b-day 11 wow getting so big.....Mine is turning 9 and today is the big bash lol Tammy

yeek i would go insane dealing with kids all day lol :D

ok im back.
friday was a bad food day - saturday was worse! party food eekk!
both days i overate my calories but i was still under 2k so a loss, not stressing about it, just trying to control it before it gets worse.
I took the bike out for a ride today. I was sick all week so thought i better not do the 90k loop, maybe a 50k loop or even the 30k loop. I decided on the 30k because i can do it with a group and its social.
SO i cycled down to the shop, and nobody turned up except me and this one other dude. We talked for 15 mins then when nobody else showed i decided to do the 50km loop.

Well after an hour i was sore 'below' and tired. I had forgotten my wallet so couldnt buy something to eat to boost the energy levels and i just felt to knackered and not up to it.
I rang hubby who came and collected me. Im happy with what i did still, having been sick all week.

The new cycle computer (The Garmin Edge 305 thinee mentioned up earlier) is totally awesome.
When i thought i was having a bad day and riding slow, i knew i wasnt at my peak performance at all but i wasnt totally bad.
I checked the stats off it after the hour 10 mins.

My average speed sucked (but that was because i had done the uphill part of the trip .. not the downhill part) which was to be expected, however my heart rate averaged at about 180bpm. Now according to this thing my maximum heart rate is 187, so effectivly i was working entirely anarobic, and this was on an off day!
It also worked out based on my weight age etc and all the usual crap (its very complex) that i burnt 1100 calories in 1:10 ... wtf?!?!!!
So clearly im working out harder than i thought i was. And I was only figuring i was burning about 600calories an hour usually lol .. that means my 4 hour ride last weekend would have burnt about ... 4000 calories :O
yikes! Anyway, its brung a whole new understanding on how i work out, where i need to work on and what im good at.

So yeah, all is good here in lizzyland :)
 
okay, having thought about it and googled some, apparently the garmin edge calories burnt method sucks a bit and isnt to realistic. Well darned! id love to burn that many!
But the heart rate thing is still cool :D
 
Hey there, Wishes!
Nice going on your "bad" day!
I went out to play a bit with my heart rate monitor yesterday, and I was disappointed to a) feel like hell and b) still not get my heartrate above 85% of maximum.
I think they shouldn't "measure calorie expediture" if they can't do it for real.. I thought it could be best calculated from time, speed, heartrate, height and weight, but I guess I was wrong, once again. It might take oxygen consumption as well to get it right.
Hope your Sunday is great!

I agree totally about not measuring it if you cant get it right.

I think they used the algorithm for running rather than cycling (they do a running one as well) so running at xxx speed for xxx kms would actually use that many calories lol.
They do take your height,weight,age etc all into account though.

Im not overly fussed on the calorie useage, im more into seeing where my heart rate is and cadence (speed at which you peddle)
i tend to peddle slow and have higher gears .. it should be the other way around.
I have a lot of muscle so i tend to use it, it feels wrong to just spin the peddles with less muscle on it.... but its something i need to work on for those hills :)

Sunday was good! i ate a LOT of fruit :D
 
Morning Wishes!! EXCELLENT on riding that bike, you are a power house on that thing. I'm tired after reading how far you go on that. You must be really strong! I hope your feeling better today and everything goes well. Keep up the good work!!!
