This past Saturday I went to test drive the bike. I had difficulty lifting my leg over the already low step through, but I did it. I was embarrassed and I started to cry in the middle of the store. I hate crying in front of people, especially strangers. I didn't run out of the store covering my...

"In about ten days, I'll be on vacation with my wife and children, and I'm planning to get back on a bicycle for the first time in at least two years." Sorry tried the quote thing.. not sure if it worked LOL I am going to test ride a bike this weekend, its been at least 15 years for me. I'm...

When was the last time you exercised? Do you have any apprehension about exercising or engaging in physical activity? Again this is timely for me. I fell behind on the program because I have been in training all week, which added alot to my day. Since April, I have been so worried about...

Your support means SO MUCH to me. It feels great to be seen and understood. Thank you ❤️ Behind on posts due to work stuff, no worries, still working it!

Oh boy can I relate!! Last night I told my partner I didn't want to watch a youtube video... he usually pushes it on me and I just roll over. Last night I said no and held firm... its small, but WHOA was that uncomfortable. I felt like an asshole..... but Im not and neither are you <3
