I thought my lungs were going to jump out. I have to make a habit out of it.

I found today and yesterday that I push myself a lot on the bike, I try to take it easy and effortless but I push myself. I am not sure if that is because of the weight or just habit but I am sure it will get easier Maybe not! The one thing I am sort of concerned about is that I am on the granny gear. The smallest chainring. I have a triple crankset so the small one is tiny! I think at this stage it is better to be pedalling than pounding.
