Biking.
You know it, two wheels, handlebars, with or without streamers, and one of the most uncomfortable excuses to call a seat possible.
Last night Derick and I went out on a "little" bike ride. I loved the sound of the idea - get outside, check. Get some exercise, check! Spend some time with my hubby, another check. Had I forgotten just how much I actually loathe bike riding? Check.
It always starts out fine, but then about 3/4 of the way through the ride I want to die. Last night's ride was no exception. My knees hurt, between my shoulder blades hurt, and of course, my butt hurt like insanity. I hate the goofy leaning-over posture that biking makes me contort into. I might need to get a bike re-fitting to make sure that all of the settings are as they should be for me, but until then, I may just have to play around with them on my own time, or switch back to rollerblading, which I have not done for years.
I do need to stop making excuses for not working out anymore. Tomorrow is my new goal - do something exercise worthy. I have just been feeling kind of sloth-like and yucky about myself lately. A recent doctor appointment also made me painfully aware of my weight. Those scales scare the bejeesus out of me.
Okay, tomorrow WILL be the day - I will post to confirm day one of feeling better about my bod! Yay
