"Shut Up Legs"

Well,  What has been happening in the last few days - another week down and nearly half way through this challenge!

Yesterday morning I got out for a cycle ride - we went from Lyttelton to Diamond Harbour return.  It was great to get out into some hills and push my legs. I really enoyed the ride, except for a bit of wind which came along part way through.  I was meant to have tennis yesterday afternoon, but the rain came just at the right time to call it off!  A little bit of a blessing because my legs were quite sore after the ride!!!

But that meant there was no excuse not to go to the torture session - oops I mean workout session - with Jacquie and Dan Sunday morning. We met at the stairs by Rapaki track and continued to go up and down them until my legs felt like they had detached themselves from my body and turned to jelly!!  I thoroughly enjoyed it and it felt great to be pushed.  The funniest part was the last sprint up the stairs, where I got to half way and my legs literally stopped working!!!  Also quite amusing was the ride home, where my leg was constantly shaking while trying to hold the clutch in!!

Yesterday I made some apricot fudge to send to my husband who is serving overseas.  I had been putting it off because I know how weak I am around it!!!  I will admit that I did have two pieces, and thoroughly enjoyed them - everything in moderation right!! Now I just have to send them before I eat any more!

I went out to dinner last night to a thai restaurant - usually I order a pad thai - yummo!  But last night I ordered a chicken salad, so I was quite proud of that decision...maybe I am making some progress! I also love that it is asparagus season and summer salads - yum!

Today's phrase - "If you want it, go and get it" - reach your goals
(I'm not talking about that piece of apricot fudge!)
