Hey, Melinda, have fun with your new set of wheels! I've burned enough fat from riding and spinning that sometimes I can't find myself in the gym mirrors or shop windows - I keep looking for a bigger woman!
If I may make a comment - I am wincing a little when you call yourself or body names...a big AHA! I had one day during a workout - one that made an enormous shift in my life - was that the whole time I worked out, I was angry at myself for not being able to do better. Beating myself up mentally, treating my body like the enemy when she was working so HARD!

Be sweet to yourself as you embark on your riding adventure!
