Hey I rode my bike!!!

Hey Everyone, Hadn't riden my bike in almost 3 years; I rode it in the park 3 miles with my hubby the other day.. Wooo Hooo. I am still not strong, had to make a few stops to rest. But at this point; I will celebrate even the small victories! I have lost a total of 58.5 lbs now since Dec 12th.. My RNY was Feb 5th. I lost 27 before and the rest since. I am still struggling with an ulcer that fights me on keeping down some foods; so I take in my protein. I am going back to work Apr. 2; wish me luck. I have a very demanding job; it is very physical on your feet and fast pased. I am sort of enjoying people not recognizing me, due to the weight loss and new short red hair.LOL.. I still look in the mirror and aside from the new hair I don't seem to see that dramtic change that everyone else does. I am worried somewhat about how my co-workers are going to act; I never told them about my surgery and I never intend to! They are a bunch of judgemental jerks. I have went from a size 24 to a 16.. I do see it when I put my clothes on..My hubby is taking me to the bariatric ball at the Bavriain Inn in Frankenmuth on Apr. 7th; black tie affair oooo I get to dress up.. LOL For the first time in many years taking pride in myself. Best of Luck to all, Sincerely, Judy R.

Yeah Judy!!!! WTG!!! I haven't been on a bike in years and years... I don't know if I would remember how to ride one.. LOL... I am sure you will have a blast at the ball. I wanted to go, but we are leaving on vacation the day before that. I can't believe they planned it for Easter weekend... Have some fun for me would ya??? Shawn M.

Good for you Judy!! I am happy for you! Have fun at the ball, I was going to go, but they put my plastic surgery off til this coming Tuesday. I did not think I would be up for dancing in 4 days LOL! Maybe I will get to meet you at next years ball. Wendy

Hi Wendy, Best Wishes on the upcoming plastic surgery; may you heal quickly, without complications! Keep us posted. I hope to have it someday too. Is your insurance covering any of it; and what are you having done? Good Luck, Judy R

If someone asks about your weight loss, tell them that you had some stomach problems!! That's what I did. I would give anything to be able to ride a bike. Because of my neurosurgery, I lost my balance and cooridination. When I tried to ride my bike, I went into the fence, a brick wall and a few cars.... OUCH!!!
