All About Me Time Begins

I am so excited. I have spent the last few month (like since October) running my four children to all of their winter sports. I am officially done! Don't get me wrong, I love my children dearly. I just was finding it hard to fit in my exercise.

So what did I do...I went out and bought myself a bike. I didn't know if I could still even ride a bike. I mean I have not been on a bike since I was about 11 years old. That is the age of my youngest children (twins). I bought a really decent priced steel frame one from Walmart. I wanted it to hold me, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money just in case I couldn't ride it. It is an old retro looking bike that you push back on the pedals to brake. I didn't want the brakes on the handle bars for fear of flying over them. LOL

It was so hilarious and so much fun. My children all came out to watch their mom ride up and down the road. They have never seen me on a bike before. They clapped and cheered. Wow....what a sight to be seen. haha They thought it was especially funny to see me stop the bike to turn around. Let just say...I need a little more getting getting use to it and leave it at that.

Today we start going to the YMCA. I am going to swim and attend a zumba class. I will ride my bike again tomorrow. I need a variety to keep it interesting and fun for me. You know what they say.. variety is the spice of life. So...it is all about me and my exercise to help keep this weight loss moving forward. To think that a year ago, I could even walk a half a mile without being totally and utterly exhausted for the day.
