Happy New Year and welcome back! I really needed a break after doing Blogmas. The province that I am in declared a State of Emergency this week (again) and issued a Stay at Home Order starting today. Every time this happens, my emotional state tends to dip down a bit. It's a bit of a rough start to the year but I am determined to make the most of 2021.
I received this exercise bicycle for Christmas. I didn't ask for it and it was a huge surprise. I had basically stopped going on hikes due to a couple of heavy snowfalls so my exercise regimen (already quite minimal) had taken a hit. This bike uses magnets instead of an oldfashioned chain so it is really quiet. It has a digital readout screen to estimate calories burned and distance "travelled."
The bike also has a pair of bungee cords for working out one's arms. To be honest, I usually find workouts to be really boring which is why I prefer getting out into nature. To encourage myself to stick with working out on the bike, I balance my tablet on top and put on a wildlife or travel documentary. Like many people, the pandemic pounds crept up on me. There is no doubt that I overindulged massively in emotional eating. As we have been sheltering in place for almost a year now (!!), I hope to continue working out at home and doing what I can to maintain my health.
Have you been battling the pandemic pounds as well?
