Let it be known:
I just burned 13,000 calories.
Forget the stair climber or sit ups, just try to put a child seat on your bicycle by yourself. You’ll see. It’s a two person job, baby. Since the other adult in this house works 12 hour days, it was up to me to get the seat on if I am EVER going to exercise again.
I have always been pretty good at figuring out how to put things together. I am a direction reader & follower. I rarely ghetto rig. (That’s so not P.C. — sorry.) The bike seat, however, did not come with an instruction manual. Therefore… well… today, I used my head. I mean, literally, used my head. At one point because I wasn’t born with a third arm, I propped the bicycle on my head while I used my needle nose pliers to tighten the bolts. I did consider just duct taping the seat on after I dropped the screw on the chain for the 7th time. Eventually, I got the bottom pieces tightened. My foot came in handy, too. When I needed to see down low, I layed on my left shoulder with my right foot holding up the child seat. I haven’t done that since I was eight months pregnant looking for my you-know-what.

Oh my gosh! That must’ve been interesting to watch! LOL!!!
Since my husband travels for six weeks at a time, I’ve had to do a lot of things like that on my own. And I know just how NOT fun it is. (Like the baby crib that I put together. It took me FOREVER and I can only imagine the calories I burned doing it. LMAO!)
I hope you enjoy your new bike seat though! (I’ve always wanted one… but I think I need a bike first!)
You completely rock! You could have brought it to Atlanta. I would have totally helped you.
