Back on my bike and it felt awesome!

Think more of yourself than to be sad over something that wasn't good for you to begin with.

Can you imagine if an alcoholic got sober and then pined for the good times they had while they were drunk? That usually means they're willing to go back there. Don't go back.

Tuckervill is right. I think maybe the biggest thing is that we remember the good times, Stacie, and not how they treat us in the end, how selfish they can be, it's a new start, a new lease on life. LOL I have been trying to look at it this way - it's less laundry, less cleaning, less groceries, and I can plan my time for myself, my boys, and work and not worry about anything else.

Yes, we are trying to work it out, however I am very skeptical, and if he has done it once, he'll do it again is sticking in my brain.

Otherwise, my cannondale waits for me everyday - just calling my name - ride, ride, ride.... what therapy that is!!!

Glad to see you girls are going strong! Stay tough!

My sad news is my friend took her stupid BF back, and is trying to "work things out." Ugh. I don't want my friend to go through the pain of a breakup, so I guess that's good, but having this guy in her life hurting her long term is upsetting. Her ego is shot. I wish I had a magic wand and could make her see how cool she is, too cool for this loser.

I'll be there for her through it, still trying to get her on a bike.

Ride on, ladies. Bike power!

Kerry,

You have a great handle on your life - don't loose grasp of it!

Here is a question for the gang - I'll admit I'm still battling with bouts of anger toward my former partner - how does one get past this? I'm open to all suggestions. I've ditch the idea of sucker punching him, just not worth the hassles it would bring nor the fact that it would cost me my job!

I'm okay without him in my life - in fact I know my life is 1000% better without him and the mental games. I know everything happens for a reason and there are a 1000 reasons to keep me from ever going back to him. I know there is someone good out there for me - I've just not met this person and if I never meet this person I'll be okay. So how do I process the anger?
