And my ass hurts!

But the good news, is that I did it!

7.8 miles 450 elevation change (thanks strava)

and I LIVED, oh and it was fun.

Whoa....I need a cigarette now.

I was waiting for a comment like this. I knew as soon as I typed this out it sounded, ummm. interesting...

Yeah I was reading that on the edge of my chair thinking...."hmmm, where is this going?" I had to make double sure I wasn't in the powder room.

And girl the only stretching I did last night, was stretching my tired ass out on the bed!

I went to bed at 8:30! I was exhausted!

Oh and my ass is bruised

Hahaha! It really is a good partner stretch!

I bet. It's probably going to be sore for a while!

Don't laugh, well, you can laugh if you want, but when I was heavy I rode this:

(Hey, at least I was getting exercise) My husband and I would go for long rides and this bike is so comfortable to ride. I love it. Do not try mountain biking with this.

This year I bought a regular bike since I am at a normal weight now I figured I can ride a regular bike. Ouch, the first time I rode my butt was sore for weeks! Those seats hurt! The recumbent bike is much more comfortable,

I wish I was brave enough to put up my before picture of me on my recumbent bike...wow!

Lol! We have some older people around here that have those!

But yep you were out there doing it! That's most of the battle right there.

I was asking why can't I just put my cruiser seat on there!

Half way through the ride my husband and I switched seats because mine was stock.

It helped but a new bike is on order because the bike is small and the suspension kinda sucks.

Mine only had 2 wheels but it was comfy. This was way before surgery but I put many miles on it.

Damn I really had on some short shorts that day.....don't look.

I just found my new screen saver!!!!

At least use one of my post op pics.

Only if you use one of mine...

Those are the straightest eyebrows I've ever seen. Not that anything else there is natural, but those just jumped right out. She had to have used a ruler when she painted them on.

Lol, after I posted that I got scared that you might actually think it was me

"Butt it taint" haha!

(Inside bike riding joke)

Taint you? I was sure it was.

One day, maybe just maybe, you will even enjoy the soreness you feel after a workout! I know that's pushing it but you never know it could happen.

A really good stretch you can do with your hubs is to lay on your back, keep on leg straight on the floor. Lift the other leg straight up against his chest (he is kneeling on the floor facing you) and have him push it forward. I LOVE this stretch, you should feel it in the back of your legs and glutes. Breath while you are stretching and you will get a better stretch. Usually when it starts to hurt we want to stop breathing and tense up if you breath through it you will stretch farther.

Also, stretch your arms and chest. You are probably going to feel soreness there tomorrow from being tense while you were riding.

Ok, I'm done now!

This is called the rower's stretch and this is BY far my favorite stretch. I do it with Bands at my trainers.

Great Job Laura! Let me know if you need any extra padding for those shorts, my jiggly butt has plenty

Ok I went mountain biking again!

It was HOT and scary! My husband took me on another trail. This time only 6.9 miles and nothing really as far as elevation... But I did a little "single track" too scary! Really...TOO SCARY! I almost fell more than once... And I felt like I was going to throw up half way through (damn sleeve somedays)

Me after
