Yep you got it. I love sitting on my butt...on a stationary bike! Started my morning with a 9.33 mile bike ride in 26 minutes, at a pretty decent resistance. Then moved on and ran 3 miles...followed by some serious ab routine. GO ME!
For those of you that competed with me before, a little FYI exercise is no longer my enemy! It is my friend. I learned a few things over the past year, (how to be skinny isn't one of them). I've known for a long time that because of my MS my balance and coordination isn't up to par, but what I never put together is that because of that I really struggle with exercise. So here is what I learned....
I gave up trying to jog outside, or ride outside, or on a track. I learned that when I'm on stationary equipment I work harder because I don't have to pay attention to where I am going and can focus strictly on what I am doing.I also have something to hold on to. Sounds silly, I know. But the first time that I worked out at the gym I realized that my MS limits what I can do.
So there you have it. I now can exercise! Add that to my great eating plan and what do you have....WINNER!!!!WINNER!!!!WINNER!!!!

Are we talking about Clean Eating? You kicked butt with that last time... hmm.. I don't know if you've ever had to compete against me though.. oh well.. there are 3 winners every month so you MIGHT have a change! ;) GO AMANDA!!
I am a stationary person with the bike, but I prefer walking outdoors. I think that is mainly because I like the scenery changing, and having a visual goal. What I would REALLY like is one of those treadmills that Jillian Michaels advertises for... you know, the one that gives you a climbing experience such as Mt Everest. I would love to keep working on a goal like that and get closer and closer!
I am glad that you found something that you're body will allow you do that, that gives you a sense or pride and motivation. I haven't yet found that grove that makes me want to go but knowing who I am up against is helping me already. Way to go Amanda!
Would you like some cute stickers and maybe some colored pens to go with your Stationary!!! LMBO!!!
Way to go!!!
