Intended to have Friday & Saturday off, which I did, but took a bit of a tummy bug on Sunday so was laid out on the sofa for the day... had to cancel my lunch at ''BFJA's''...which, the uninitiated cannot possibly understand, is beyond a tragedy.... my last meal in this world would have to be ''BFJA's'' Sunday lunch..unless I was feeling delicate, then it would be ''BFGM's'' Thai curry.
Anyway ''OFF'' has given me some advice to shift some weight.... ''2 hours on the bike 4 times a week on a low gear, with no hills'' .....WITH NO HILLS?!!! Yes, it's true!!! HURRAH!!!!
So, this evening, jumped on my exercise bike (gentler on the derriere than the turbo) and did 90 mins...nearly there!
Tomorrow evening I'm going belly dancing!!! Been checking out custumes today....to die for!! All chiffon and sequins....fabulous!
One has to get into the spirit of these things you know...
About Me
- The Social Cyclist!
- St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, United Kingdom
- I'm bright, funny (I think so), witty (ditto)and a bit cheeky. I admire intelligence, compassion, good manners, good sense of humour, good conversation, like having my feet tickled, cycling, music, chocolate and the sea. I dislike, ignorance, arrogance, hypocrisy, litter bugs, cruelty to children & animals, violence, Johnny Vegas and the word 'incorrigible'!
Day 1 - Saturday 10th February 2007
Today is the first day of my countdown to my Cycle Vietnam challenge in November. Today I have: a. set up a fund raising page at http://www.justgiving.com/siobhanmartina b. set up this blog to track my training progress and no doubt many frustrations; and c. started my training. It has to be said that I'm feeling a tad righteous! In saying that I feel that I have to mention that my training took place on my exercise bike at home....come on!!...it's far too cold and wet for the real thing! I'm looking at about April for that!!! I've set myself a goal of doing at least 1 hour on the bike every day and have had the most wonderful idea of how to get over the tedium of getting nowhere slowly! Yes... I'm going to watch the whole series of 'The Sopranos'....series 1-6 in fact! When I've finished these I'll then move onto '24' ...again...every series available on DVD. But panic not my sweets, amongst all this toil, I will also be going to the gym....I'll be the one with the very pink cheeks at Fitness First! How come some girls look great exercising and some look like...well....me?! My stats on the bike for today were: RPM - 72 / SPEED - 28 / TIME - 60 mins / DISTANCE - 26.48 / CALORIES - 599 ( = 1 Mint Aero & 1 Ripple!) But as the old saying goes, 'The best laid plans of mice and Siobhans' or as my lovely Mother would say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions!'. Till next time...
