Day One Thousand and Eighty-One

The Pregnant Cyclist


Spotted: wife on bicycle.
Mine and Adam's paths crossed yesterday on our way home from workouts. He was coming from the field, and me, from the gym, and we just-so-happened to be heading home at the exact same time! Oh, the little happy surprises in life!
I've been riding my bike to the gym for the past couple weeks. Adam takes the truck to the field, and I figured that saving gas and burning calories seemed like a reasonable solution to our one-vehicle status. It's not much - maybe around 5 miles a day - but times that by 5, and I'm saving us at least 25 miles a week! Go pregnant me! Plus, our gym has this new workout tracker device that snaps around your rib cage and records your heart rate and calories burned - among other things - and just that extra bike ride sheds almost 500 calories. Say what?! That's five pieces of toast! Five! I'm riding this thing as far into my pregnancy as baby Conley will let me!
