Awesome! I'm serious! We can ride in your neighborhood, then Cleo's then the park, then ... you get the point. Since I'm on a main road, I dont have a neighborhood to ride in, BUT we could ride in my OLD neighborhood, it's freaking huge now.
i know, that is the plan for this weekend, now to figure out how to explain to DH that i am buying myself something for his birthday which is Friday:lol:
You are actually going to be saving money by buying a bike than doing what we talked about today. :mrgreen:
I wish I lived near you guys. I live off 1010 right down the road from Hollands church. I live in a quiet neighborhood though and i try to ride my bike every once in a while. I am going to hate it when it gets dark early. I get up at 5:30 to get ready for work ( I work near the airport) and I get off at 4. By the time I get home, it will be dark! I am not getting up before 5:30. I am not a morning person.
I don't know how far that is from me, but you could come to my house (cleveland & Grill) throw your bike in the truck and we go to Cleo's neighborhood or JK's or KC's (when she gets a bike) See problem solved!:mrgreen:
How long have you lived there Sassy?? I was born and raised on 1010 near Hollands Church....actually on 1010 nearer to Hwy 50. I still have family that lives on 1010. Most of my family is still around the "Panther Branch" community.
:mrgreen: Now you girls have got me wanting to buy a bike!! I live off Raleigh Road, near DR Wells. So I'm sorta in between HG and Kaci. My neighborhood is a pretty decent place to ride. Heck, what am I talking about, I won't even get my lazy butt out there to walk. :mrgreen:
I live on Joe Leach RD. It's between sauls Rd and HWY 50. I have lived there for about 5 years. My husband was born and raised in the house we live in. His grandfather left it to him. I was born in PA but moved to Johnston County when I was 3. We moved to Cleveland School Rd (before there was anything there). I went to the old Cleveland school and then went to South Johnston. Things have really changed in this area in the last 20+ years. Maybe I should start riding my bike to the weight watcher meeting??
Is there anything remotely Weight Watchers friendly at the new TGI Fridays? I wanna go, but I know I'll be tempted to just say "Oh, screw the diet!" unless I see something that's "safe" to eat more than a bite of ... opinions, anyone?
When you get there, you wait in line to weigh in. Only the person that weighs you can see your weight. Then you go on to the meeting.
Do what I do, ask for substitutions such as fresh vegies in place of potatoe or fries, look for grilled/broiled meat items such as chicken/fish, ask for them to leave off the creamy sauces/cheeses etc., its really not that hard nowadays with all of the rest. industry working on getting healthier meal options, most have even added heart healthy substitutions, but its still a temptation to get those cheesy fries (yum,yum) and ranch dressing on the side. Don't cheat yourself out of a great evening dining out with the family. Go out and have fun.
