it's gotten to a point where i don't even want to look at myself anymore.
my pants sizes, shirt sizes, and my weight has all increased, while I made excuses and pretended it wasn't a big deal.
Well, it's time to change.
I started to diet a bit about two weeks ago. And now I'm trying to find ways to squeaze excersize into my busy schedule.
today I had two free hours after a nine hour shift at work. I was already sore and tired, but i pushed myself on the excersize bike. I'm so out of shape!
I could not go for more than 10 minutes without feeling nausiated. So I did ten minutes, took a break, and then did ten more minutes. My body feels like it was just hit by a train, long recovery time. I'm also still very sore from work... I'm just wondering, if i do this every night, is it enough right now to help me get back on track? do i need to do more?
I'm trying, i really am.

i always thought that excersize was more effective if you did it straight through without letting your heart rate decrease? thats why i feel it's not enough. however it's more than what i've been doing, and my digestive system is back on track now that i'm eating healthier... ohhhh i just hope i stay motivated to do this!

 it's actually pretty effective to do like, 3 to 1's go at it increasingly harder for 90 seconds, rest for 30, start again. or whatever mix of time and reps you want. your heart is still pounding away and you're still in calorie burning mode (also why eating right after working out is good)
anyways, it's normal to suck at first, especially with cycling, since it develops core strength. just build up gradually...there's no point busting your chops on a bike for 40 minutes, you feel like shit for two days after, your ass hurts and you can't take a stair without wincing. 
so as long as i'm still at least moving, i don't have to be huffing and puffing?

exactly. i use to work at gym that gave spinning classes and you can get really great workouts on bikes.
can you easily change the resistance on your bike? work yourself up,
30 seconds on easiest, 40 seconds on a medium, a minute on hardest, then take another 30 of really easy... it's also really really good to bike standing at intermittent periods, tensing your abs and butt. or at least sitting straight up, abs clenched. pm me if you need anything

the bike i have is kind of impossible to stand up on (the way it's built and shaped)
and the resistance thing is behind you when your on it, so really it's just there to put at a setting before you excersize
but i could easily increase decrease my speed with the odometer. I will follow your advice, thank you!
