Back In the Saddle

I suppose you could say I fell of the workout wagon. I was doing so well. I doubled the amount of miles I had put on my bike in 3 months last summer (as compared to 9 previous months of ownership). I was making most spinning classes.

... and then I got sick (again)... and didn't get well.

Now, 2 weeks after taking dramamine 3 times a day, I can say I've gotten back on. And it feels good. I was worried for a bit. I never had a problem with motivation, and all of a sudden I couldn't seem to make myself go. Thankfully, motivation wasn't the problem (it was taking sleeping pills 3 times a day).

I really missed working out, but riding my bike in particular. This past Saturday was a beautiful day and I really enjoyed the ride. Which has really helped me be excited about trying to get back to (and surpass) the shape I was in. It seemed like a daunting task, but I had forgotten how enjoyable riding is and how much better I feel when regularly excercising.

Now, my challenge is staying well enough and keeping my sinuses in check so that I can stay on the wagon/saddle.
