Just Keep Pedalling

Today was all about pedal power!  I cycled to work today, and it was great to be out on the bike again!  It took me about 30 minutes each way - not bad!!  I also took a spin class with Jax this morning.  It was great - definately feel pushed in her classes and thoroughly enjoy them!!  Of course, when it was  time to ride home, the enthusiasm is never quite the same!! The south-west wind had started to pick up and I found myself a couple of time saying 'just keep pedalling, just keep pedalling'!! 

I am planning to cycle to work as much as possible now that it is warmer and lighter! I am also training for a cycle event in early December (in fact one week after this challenge finishes).  It is the Long Bays Cycle Ride - an 80km ride through the Port Hills.  Eeek! I really need to get training in those hills!

I've started doing a few at home exercises with the aim of doing them (or at least part of them) each day - they include crunches, plank, push ups, bicycles, bicep dips, step ups and free weights.  I usually do these in the evening, as I am watching some tv programme.

Todays tip:  In the weekends I make up a couple of big batches of meals to put in the freezer (chicken risotto, savoury mince, sitfry, casseroles..).  These are great for an easy lunch or for dinner on nights I am home late, or just don't feel like cooking! It is definately a saviour having these in the freezer!
