Must return to shape. BEER = WEIGHT I know it sucks, but give up the beer. I haven't touched alchohol in over a year and I feel great. I used to drink at least 12 pack of Guiness pints a week and I'm certain it never helped my weightloss. The others I ride with drink copious amounts of brew and as I size down, they are sizing up. -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws It's all in moderation... -- - Zilla Cary, NC (Remove XSPAM) |

I am next in line to go there for my injury, just waiting to see if it works for Jim first. - CA-G Can-Am Girls Kick Ass! I remembered you having shoulder problems too. I didn't want to ask. So, what will it be, unicycle or recumbent? /s |

om... I remembered you having shoulder problems too. I didn't want to ask. So, what will it be, unicycle or recumbent? Nothing, at the moment. Walking the dog is about all I've been able to handle. Its taken me over 2 months to get over an intestinal problem that I've had. Going to start going to the swimming pool and start with some light workouts as soon as I can get into P/T. - CA-G Can-Am Girls Kick Ass! |
