Another huge milestone on my path back to me!!

Last Sunday we rode down to Gruene and back to Kyle. It was a tough ride, but not impossible. First time i got a flat. Luckily my mechanic was with me. :). Changed it in no time. The plan is to do another 60 this weekend. Saturday is going to be an easy mid 20 day as the 60 is going to be Sunday. I am looking forward to the challenge. If all goes well first week over 100 miles... whooohoo

Texas Mamma Jamma

Texas Mamma Jamma Sept 25th, 2010

Oh it's on again. This time raising money for Breast cancer.  The Mamma Jamma ride is for those that suffer with breast cancer.  I haven't decided what to ride, the 70 mile or the 100 miler. Either way it's an amount that will make me give it my all for those that are giving it thier all.

Stress is on..

So it has been a productively busy summer. Too busy that writting or blogging has slowed down. Training has been going awesome, until i went on vacation. Tried running down in Port Aransas only to be attacked by mosquitos - that bit through my shorts.. on my butt of all places. I kid you not. I decided to take a break and was all set to get going when i came back. I get back and i got bombarded with morning meetings the whole week and one busy unit. I am looking forward to this weekends ride and hopefully a good thursday and friday.

Sunday 50 miler to New Braunfels by cheska732 at Garmin Connect - Details

Sunday 50 miler to New Braunfels by cheska732 at Garmin Connect - Details here is my first 50 miler in over 25 years.. love the stats and i felt awesome. tired but that's to be expected.

where the heck have i been... why out riding of course!

So my recovery went splendidly if that is a word. I love my results. I am probably the only women in history that didn't want to hear-"they will be fuller and more round!" I was truly loving the flat look.  After 6 weeks of wearing a sports bra i finally got the okay to go get the real bra's. I called my husband and told him i was going to go to Victoria Secret and by bras that weekend. He was like go for it. I my head all i can think about was color and patterns.  The thought did cross my mind what if the plan went down and i didn't have my parachute bra? But as friday rolled around and the anticipation started to build i called my husband and said. hey let me take you to dinner i wanna go to Nordstroms for bra's. I figured i'd go, since i saw this special once on oprah about the way they fit their customers. So in  went.. and met Anna the clerk.  Anna sized me up. I was D cup, but so small in my mind and if i went up a size it was  a c cup. Hell i can live with that... heck it's like a B cup  to me.  I found so many bra's i couldn't stop myself and i didn't  $618.45 i walked out with 10 bra's and matching undies Life was really good. colors, patterns  you name it. Awesome!!


Now what have i been doing? Mile stone's on the bike that's what. My average now is 15.5 mph. up from the 11 i think when i started. I am also doing an average of 50 miles a week mostly more. Last week i clocked 100 miles in for the week.  Bought a top with a built in bra and it fits... whoohooo

Thinking about another sprint tri in october.. i have to get in the water. what to do what to do...

POST Op Weekend

I went back for my follow up and I am allowed to wear my favorite bra i wore when my chest was larger. It was a bra i wore only in the house, but it was very comfortable.  My nipple  very sensitive on the right. The left is numb. I don't know if that is going  to come back in the scheme of things the other side is making up for it as it's super sensitive. :0

We ended up at the bike shop and ran into the CNRA who did my case. I was going stir crazy already. I wanted to do something but i was told i had to wait..

Post op Day 1

I already fell like a million bucks. They look flat, but my doc stated that there were going to be more rounding and the transition can take months or even a year. I feel like a ton has been lifted off my chest.  1200grams on the left and 1100 grams on the right.  I stayed over night, was in surgery for about 5 hours. Meds are really good.
