EXCITEMENT!!!!

Any of you who follow me on Twitter may already know this amazing news...

I am allowed to start re-introducing cycling to my life!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOHHHHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited!

I am allowed to do up to 30 minutes a day slow pedalling on low tension. I can either use an exercise bike, a trainer (yes that was the photo from the other day for those who were unsure), or actually going out on the bike! As long as I take it easy and use low tension/gears.

I am going to start on the exercise bike at the gym tonight.

I am so excited - I can't wait to get myself over there and ride. It is going to be SO hard to take it easy, but I will do what I have to do to get there.

I am actually going to take a magazine to read. I hate seing people reading on exercsie equipment as I feel it distracts you from pushing yourself. But since I am not allwed to push myself I figure it will be perfect!

I will report in and let you all know how it goes.

I can not wait!!!

Present

SVP bought me a present on the weekend, in preparation for whent he Physio gives me the go ahead for light riding.

I can't wait to use it!

Sick

The weekend of mass consumption resulted in an entire night of massive stomach cramps. No sympathy for me though as it was completely self inflicted.

It also resulted in a 1 kg gain since Thursday. I am back to 144.8kgs.

My goal of getting to 140kgs by Val's Day is looking more distant than ever...

This morning the thought of riding to work was enough to make me cry. But in my new mindset of no excuses - I sucked it up and got on the bike.

It was hard.

First day of TTOM cramps combined with junk food cramps made for a slow and painful ride.

But I did it.

I am off to the supermarket shortly to stock up on fruits and vegetables. Time to suck it up and just get the hell on with it.
