How I started...

Hubby wanted us to get mountain bikes.
It took a good few weeks and lots of soul searching to get from a)“NO WAY!! I could never do that!” to b)“Well…maybe…” to c)“Yeah! I think I can give it a go” to d) “Yes, let’s go to the bike shop” All the daft, mostly negative, thoughts of the day went through my head. What will the neighbours think? What if I fall off? Pictures of Dumbo pre-flight and flying. No bike will cope with my short-legged bulk! My face will go all red and sweaty, no - purple and sweaty! People will laugh at me. What will I wear? No way they’ll make bike gear in my size! You name it - I thought it. Funnily enough very rarely did I think of physical obstacles, mostly psychological ones! I’m not sure how I managed to get from a-d above. READ ON if you want to find out - it all started Oct 16th 2007...

Waiting for the delivery van....

We really chose a silly time of year to try to start cycling. Hubby braved the cold the other day but I was a wimp. I do a wee stint on the rowing machine, but probably not as much as I could or should. Eating OK - so slowly and steadily losing a few pounds. So I don't feel too bad about it!
So anywayjust to help things along... I persuaded Hubby that we (just!) have enough room for an elliptical cross-trainer. I've read so many posts from people singing their praises on various forums that I thought it would be The Thing to get me through Winter, emerging a bit fitter in the Spring ready to CYCLE!

It should have been delivered today, but, what do you know - no show! So infuriating!!
They'll "Try to chase it up first thing tomorrow" - another day of waiting.
Until tomorrow...
