ONEDERLAND and I CRASHED ON MY BIKE!!!

ONEDERLAND

Good Sunday morning!

OMG!!!OMG!!!OMG!!!after yesterdays bike ride of 40 miles (I can't believe I made it that far!) I weighed in at 196!!!! Okay, I thought some of this is water loss. Which it was, but this morning I weighed in at 197!!!!! YIPPIE I am in ONDERLAND! Bye-bye 200's FOREVER!!!

Here is a comparison picture of me in 2003 and me a week ago.

I am not sure what I weighed in 2003 but it had to be at least 280 lbs. UGH! It is amazing what a lot of exercise and WLS can do for a person!

I CRASHED ON MY BIKE!!!

Now the scary part. I crashed into the DH on our ride yesterday and went tumbling down then the DH tumbled down and landed on me. It was totally my fault that we crashed. I tore my new bike shorts. I have a nasty bruises on my upper inner-thigh (this one hurts), both my knees my, upper right arm and my left elbow too. Ouchie! The hubby has a knot on his left shin a bruise on his hip and it looks like he may have broke po sprained his left ring-finger and his neck is sore. We will recover but man was that scary! Our first crash on the bikes this year, and hopefully the last! One good thing, the bikes are fine

Despite a few flats that Steve had and one big crash, we did average 16.0 mph. Not great for speed, but 5 weeks out of surgery I'll take it.

Here is my chart for yesterdays ride.

Hugs!

By the way, an aside to Steve: Steve ol' Bud, I can get you a great deal on a club to carry around when you go out with Linda to keep away the guys! ::GRIN::

The diabetes just disappearing is the most amazing part. Well, Linda has been the amazing part, but I'm pretty used to her amazingness now :)
