I've Started Exercising!

It's crazy. I know haha! BUT I'm actually enjoying it. My husband bought me a bike about a week ago and I've gone on an at least 30 minute bike ride every day. I used to give myself all sorts of excuses why I couldn't exercise, like I'm too big right now it will be too hard or it will be so stressful and the diet is stressful enough. So on and so forth. But I really love the bike riding! I bought a trailer for hauling the little kids an my 13 year old got my old bike (bought a new one for me cause the trailer wouldn't attach to the old bike) so now I am really getting into biking! I read a few articles on how good it is for you and I actually am already noticing a difference. My calves used to be super beefy when I was younger because I was on the swim team, well in recent years that muscle has turned to flab and now when I flex I have that muscle definition line going down my calf and I can feel the muscle! 

The other thing I've done for exercise is blast some music in the basement and just go down there and dance, jump around and just look like an idiot haha. I have some 5 lb weights I do some arm exercises with as well. That one is a little harder for me because it's more high impact then biking and I'm struggling on working my arms equally (need to get rid of my bat wings!) I'm thinking about taking some progress photos now that I'm 35 pounds down and see if I can see any difference in photos since I don't just looking in the mirror. I've got one more post for you guys today then I need, need, NEED. To get the house cleaned! Haha.
