Ok, so I am tired of being asked if I am pregnant. I have gained some weight I know and if I don't suck it in I also know that I do look like I am about 6 months pregnant. I can't use the excuse "I just had a baby" because my baby is now a year and a half old.
I developed a condition while I was pregnant with Nyah called Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction. I had to have physical therapy for it which really didn't help much. I could barely get out of bed without help and couldn't lift my leg to shave or put my pants on. I still suffer from the issue and because of it can't walk for far distances or still push anything heavy aside with my foot.
I have discovered that I can ride a bike without aggravating the issue. So I decided I was going to buy a bike and ride to work each day. At first Gary didn't like the idea because I was going to ride to the day care with Nyah in a trolley cart behind me, drop her off and then continue on to work. He thought that was too dangerous. Now I realize that his saying no was a good thing because as I ride to work (he takes Nyah to day care and then I ride home and get the car to pick her up after work) the "little hills" that I take for granted and didn't even really know existed have turned into mountains! Right now, I have to get off my bike and walk up the hills. My leg muscles burn and my but hurts from the seat. In a couple of weeks I am sure I will be able to bike all the way to work without getting off to walk.
I am only on my second day of riding my bike to work....although it is only my second day I feel awesome and would break my arm patting my self on the back. I am hoping to loose weight, not be so tired and look like a model when the summer is over.
