Motivation.

I have always wanted nice legs. Maybe it's because in high school, the boys said I had chicken legs because they were so skinny.. and luckily, through out 2 pregnancies and 10 years, I still do. They never got big. Thighs? That's another story.

Last year I lost a total of 35 pounds just with my dieting alone, this year, now, I want to add exercise. I told Jacques my thoughts about biking on Thursday night.. Friday night, he bought me a bike. I was back and forth about buying one in the shop, because while I will spend $50 on a game for Jason in a heartbeat, spending $2 dollars on myself kills me. With Jacques points of "having something for myself, getting in better shape and being without the kids for at least an hour a day," that's all he had to say. I was SOLD.
Here is my bike.. and here we are on bike day 4 and I have already rode a total of 25 miles. I am enjoying the time out by myself. It takes me 40-45 minutes to ride the 7.4 miles that I have been riding. I am switching between riding first thing in the morning, like today, I was up and there at 600 and done with my ride before 700. And then riding in the evening. I ride at an average of 12-13 MPH. But I go down this big hill on my rides and today I hit 26 MPH going down, it was crazy fast and I was riding those breaks.. Going up it kicks my ass. No joke.

This also means that I am getting all my cardio done outside of the gym so when I start hitting the gym, I can just focus on weights and toning. This also means that I have plans to go all the way with this, like I tend to do when I start anything..

I will ride big. Just wait.
