I don't get time for the bike sadly.. if I get on it I want to do at least 45 minutes. Never get that much uninterrupted time when you have a kid with ASD .. I swear she waits until she hears me start a workout and then she'll want to hang out and chat. I can't say no as it is good for her to socialise and you grab those moments whenever you can.

Yeah this site doesn't let you use any emojis except theirs .. very boring!
