new moon

yippee ....

over & out

what is up with the crappy weather, i want to be wearing strappy tops, sandals & going to the beach at lunch time. instead i am wearing a long sleeve top, a skirt (gotta have some feel for summer) & my black boots.

i never cycled the 62km on sunday passed, it was raining. i am not one for getting cold & wet. so decided to go & have a warm hearty breakfast with a friend while waiting for the rest that were crazy enough to cycle.

i had to laugh last night, but it is actually not that funny. abigail as picked up a very bad word. if she drops something she will say "Oh F**k". how do you explain to a child that is a year & a half years old that it is a very very bad word?

to all the moms out there, dante who is now 6, does not listen. do they all go through a stage OR is this a permanent thing?

myself & hubby are going to p.e. for the weekend. a friend of mine who now stays in london is getting married. so a weekend away with hubby, some piece & quiet and a night out, can't wait. plus i have monday off, yippee.

that's it for now, over & out.......

gyming, cycling & the kg's

i must be crazy, i have just entered to do a 62km cycle next sunday the 8th. the longest that i have cycled is 46km, i hope i am not going to kill myself. i have slacked a bit with the gyming thing, never got back into it after being sick for 2 weeks. i have lost between 5,5 & 6,5kg, it varies. BUT the problem i am having is that my weight has gotten stuck there, i am battling to lose more. i would love to lose another 3 - 5kg. what am i doing wrong, why can't i lose more? so i am feeling a bit on the down side & that doesn't help with my eating habits, i feel down, i feel like CHOCOLATE.

long time no blog

i haven't had much to blog about & still don't. just a quick update.

work:
been boring, i actually have work to do, but i just don't feel like doing it.

kids:
abi is well, she is starting to talk & that is so cute. the words she tries to copy come out so funny.
dante turns 6 this month, i can't believe it. so scary. i am starting to feel old.

cycling:
is going well, have only been doing mtb fun rides, but tomorrow we do a 46km road cycle. i am hoping the wind is not bad, i really don't feel like cyling if it is windy. cycled last saturday & sunday for training.

gyming:
hadn't gone to gym in 18 days because i got the flu. but went back this tuesday, wednesday & thursday, my muscles are sore. so no gyming today. got to get my muscles right for tomorrows cycle.

to everybody, have a awesome weekend.

weekend

my weekend:

friday night stayed at home. saturday morning myself & hubby went for a cycle. weather was really nice. saturday afternoon i took dante to the beach, we played soccer & he ran around in the freezing water (how kids don't feel the cold).

saturday picked hubby up from a friends place, they all went to newlands for the rugby. myself, hubby & karl (a friend of ours) then went for supper here in somerset west. @ 10:00 we decided to go out, went to nu bar. oh what a night.

i danced almost non stop for 6 hours. my knees were so sore yesterday. got home just after 4:00am, had a good night out.

yesterday, we did nothing, only got out of our pj's @ 12:00. showered, went to the shops, went back home & had a afternoon sleep.

getting into shape

well my last month & a half of my life, has been revolved around gyming. i am trying to go everyday, even if it is a few short lengths in the relaxing pool.

i have only swam twice in the bigger pool (25m per length) & could only manage 6 lengths both times. 3 freestyle & 3 backstroke. i have now asked somebody at work to help me with a training program, something to get me in the right direction & extra motivation.

so today was the first day. i had to attempt 2 full lengths, start off slowly. well i managed to do 10, so extremely impressed with myself. only 1 freestyle (that kills me), 3 backstroke & 6 kicking with the board. i am so exhausted now, sitting here at my desk, i can't keep my eyes open.
