I think it could be several things; your energy, mood, music, motivation and being able to push yourself. The mind is a very powerful tool. You just have to tell yourself you can do because you really can. If you need to walk for 15 to 30 seconds and start back at it again. Don't worry about time at first just focus on…

What type of jelly babies are you talking about backinthenines? I am training for a long bike event and working out a lot more. I knew someone that had these jelly beans that were suppose to help with energy and tasted REALLY good. I can not find them. I was wondering if we were talking about the same thing?

60M rt???? Wow!! That is awesome!!!

The only problem is that mine commute would be a little rough. I would have to ride through some bad parts.... Not sure if it would be worth it or not specially since I would be biking alone.. Plus some of these streets are really busy and there are a lot of people that are not fans of bikers... I have mixed feelings about…

My toes do the exact same thing!!! I never knew why. I just bit my tongue and went with it, lol.

How early do you guys have to get up in order to make it to work on time? Oh long does the ride usually take?

I have thought about biking to and from work. I am not sure a way to get to work. I will have to look into this. Plus I think this would be a great way to get into shape for Ragbrai this year.

Gehlerc, you two should totally do it!!! I speak like I have done it, LOL!!! But everything I have heard and read it sounds awesome!!! Let me know if you do!

Rydn4h2o, do you train for it or just go out for fun?

I am actually not from Iowa but my boyfriend is. His sister did it last year and by the time we found out she was doing it, it was too late for us. Plus work wouldn't let me off. This year I am for sure!!!! I don't know a lot about it but I am super excited. I have already started my cardio training for this... I am…

I would def look into what you are eating first of all. Second I would look into how hard you are working out. I could walk for 35 mints at a 3.0 and see nothing. I would eat a lot better and push yourself even harder in your workouts. I would maybe even cut back to doing weights 2 a week instead of 3.

I started taking protein shakes!!! Never have done that after work outs!!!

I am so excited for the road a head of you!!! Just remember small things add up quick!!!!! I have faith that you can lose all the weight and more!!! Keep your eye on the prize. The first couple of days will be hard, I know they were for me, LOL!!! Just realizing how many calories were in everything was a shocker!!! I wish…

Count me in!!!! I think that this is an amazing idea!!!!

Wow, I am totally speechless!!! You are such a strong person and you have so much to look forward in life!!!
