Exercise or Torture?!

Well, as most of you know I have been going to the doctor for my thyroid. Now my doctor has referred me to a specialist. I have learned that I got an auto-immune disease that told my body to produce a very high number of an antibody. Most people have below ten of this antibody. My body has 137! Well, this antibody then attacked my thyroid as if it were a foreign enemy. Now my thyroid is destroyed and I have to take medicine to act as my thyroid. The disruption of my thyroid functioning properly has caused me to gain around 80lbs. I HATE how I look now and do not feel like myself. The specialist has me counting calories and exercising at least an hour each day. I have learned that I despise walking on a treadmill! HA HA. So I am taking up bicycling. I bought a ten speed mountain bike and put a very comfy bike seat on it. Wish me luck on this new addition to my exercise routine!
