My butt hurts!
You would think with all the fabulous built in natural padding I already have, sitting on this bike seat for more than 5 minutes would not be this bad. I am thinking I either have to lose 40 lbs or spring for a gel seat! LOL!
I rode my bike 20 minutes today, 3.4 miles. I hooked up my new bike computer and can now track my miles and my time and calories, etc. I also did 45 minutes on my Wii Walk It Out. I joined Sparkpeople, and I am going to try to do that for a while and see if that is better than Fitday.
My name on Sparkpeople: YSienkiew in case you want to add me as a friend or whatever.
work is beyond overwhelming, so my time on DS is going to be extremely limited. I will try to post a journal here and there to let you know I am alive, but unfortunately will not have time this week at least and maybe next to keep up with everyone, so please accept my apologies in advance! Going to have to work some OT. I am in deep doo doo.

Oh I often wondered how when I was overly skinny the bike seat did not hurt.Now that I have a lot of that padding too,it hurts more than ever,lol.Of course my buns are alot older as the rest of me is.
Ah, the beginning of bike season. It hurts no matter the amount of padding you have. It takes about a week of riding and then your butt magically doesn\'t hurt anymore. I remember lamenting \"bike butt\" with a girlfriend of mine when I was a skinny healthy 20 year old. It goes away :) Mine HURT like a son-of-a-gun back in May when bike season started, but now I don\'t even notice. And I don\'t have a gel seat. I have a rock hard small mountain bike seat. I DID put a gel seat on my spin bike though, lol.
\"Bike butt\" -- I love it!!!! That is cute. Haven\'t ridden a bike since I\'m a teenager, except for the kind that are nailed to the floor. It\'s great that you are pushing yourself, congrats! Love you and think of you often.
Yay! A new SparkFriend!
You are doing what you need to do to work at having a good life so there is no need for apologies - I\'m proud of you for having good priorities. There are \'wide\' seats you can purchase for bikes and I like those better.
Check in when you can and give updates. Be very gentle with yourself as you continue to work at coping.
((hugs)) Patricia
You are doing great with your exercise.
I hope your OT helps you catch up with all the work you have. Good luck.
Keep up your exercise.
Welcome to sparks people. Im zecilkl in sparkspeople too. Hope to learn how to add you as a friend.
Yes those bike seats can be wicked!
