Also, I know I saw it here somewhere but I can't find it right now. This one phrase has helped me. I am paraphrasing ........ how can you hate a body that can take you places? How can you hate legs that get you up that hill? You are a strong woman. Your free time isn't consumed with TV and a bag of chips.
(I'm a mom x's 3) I definately have things that I want to change. But one thing that keeps me motivated is to look and feel my legs. I've only been cycling a short time, but they are changing and getting hot! Just keep in mind that you are a strong woman with a strong body. You can go places that many women break a sweat just thinking about.
I think we are all pretty awsome just because of that.
I'd like to hear how it's goin now. I know it's been a while since you posted this thread.
