After ignoring my alarm to get up early and exercise yesterday morning, I went back to sleep haha! When I woke, I was lazing in bed and thinking of everything I had to do today and beating myself up for not exercising when I thought OMG don't be Lazy!!!! Seriously I was almost in tears the night before thinking about how much I hate my belly so I threw off the covers, got dressed, walked out to my husband and said 'Honey, I'm going to go for a bike ride, I'll be back in half an hour so you can get ready for work, MissV is still asleep and MasterV is just getting dressed'
I then walked my bike out the front, put my helmet & headphones on and took off :)
Holy Crap am I unfit! I almost died after only getting around the second corner LOL! BUT I kept going! I'd been riding for about 10-15mins when I wanted to check how I had gone so I opened up the Road Bike Pro App and lo and behold I had forgotten to press start HAHAHA!!! So I pressed start from there and kept going. I have to admit, I struggled going up the slightest of hills and with the smallest of head winds. Oh where , oh where have my strong legs gone? Oh yeah, into the pile along with every other unused item :(
So I got home! The App said I had ridden for 15mins and ridden 3.5 kms so I guess I did about double that :)
Now, while this is not something to go to the cycle club and brag about haha I am definitely feeling proud of myself for 1. Getting off my butt and going and 2. Well.... Getting off my butt and going!
The worst thing Bout this whole exercise wasn't the realisation of how incredibly unfit I am, nor the memory of how sore I get after sitting on a bike seat (ouch) NO It's the memory of my embarrasing affliction of going Red as a Beetroot when I exercise!! And I mean RED, and now I remember back to when I was fit and No matter how fit I am, I still go incredibly red in the face! Yesterday, I'd been home for an hour and had a shower and I was still glowing! Anybody else suffer from this?
