I hurt!

I think its pretty common knowledge that when you are pregnant, you pretty much lose most of your ab muscles... Heck... mine were cut in half to take Leah out!

I admit I have not done anything to get those ab muscles back...

1. I have no idea when I am supposed to fit excerise into my schedule (Oh.. I am starting a Competitive Volleyball class Wednesday night... but it might cause me to be a walking zombie. More on this later in the week)

2. We plan to have more babies... and all I will say is we hope I am pregnant again sometime in the next year... so why should I work out to regain those muscles, or lose any weight, if I will just just be big and pregnant again. (I know this is very lazy thinking, but its true!)

But since I have not done ANYTHING... I now HURT!... from bicycling!

Yesterday we used our new trailer and took Leah for a ride at Creve Coure Park. It was goregous out, it was a great casual bike ride.... and now I CANNOT move!

My entire torso is so incredibly sore! It hurts to move, talk, laugh, breathe.... all from a darn bike ride! I am guessing its from leaning over for the handle bars... but either way, this is incredibly sad and shows how incredibly out of shape I am, and my extreme lack of ab muscles...

We plan to do more bike rides, hopefully another next weekend, and lets hope I do not end up feel this way each time!

I am off to take some pain meds...

Leah's new ride!

Brian and I live less than 3 miles from the Katy Trail and there are plenty of other bike trails all around the St. Louis area!

We have bikes in our garage... have a rack for the car... and admit that we have only been a few times in the 4 years Brian has lived in this house!

But all signs pointed to us needing something for Leah to ride around in... 1. My brother said that if we came to visit him over Labor Day weekend we needed to bring our bikes, 2. we are reallying enjoying getting up and doing things as a family in the mornings on the weekend and bike riding this fall sounds marvalous! 3. uhh we need physical activity!

Today at Target we came across this contraption for only 50 dollars, regulary 100, and it fits 2 kids so we can definitely use it tons now AND in the future (NO I am not pregnant, just planning ahead!) Why shoudlnt we have bought it!?

We of course brought it straight home and wanted to try it out!!!

"Whatcha doin?"

"Hurry up! This looks fun!""I can help with this!""I am ready to go!!"

"Aww we are done already!?"

I cant wait to use it this fall!!
