Pushing that envelope,Saturday

It's Saturday morning,the sun is out ,no wind,so off we set on another ride. We were aiming at doing at least 40 km. we did 36 a couple of weeks ago so no pressure. I was able to ride the hills this time.not hug hills , short and steep. We did 46km.  

Well all good till the last 4km.oh dear we were stuffed.i ran out of water! It was humid but on a bike you get lots of breeze.  We both felt we had done 100 km.  Got home and just crashed.

The total exhaustion seemed a bit over the top to me. I know we burnt about 1500 calories, but we ate and kept our fluids up except for last km. 

Any way next day I was fine so did the boxing workout as I was having Monday as a lay day .

My poor husband was exhausted the next day too and felt terrible too boot . Yes your right he had caught a bug, so the ride certainly didn't do him any good. Such bad timing.  He is still sick today two days later. 

I went on a ride this morning,still struggling with faded energy, maybe I'm fighting the bug too. I even had to stop and buy a boost juice to get me home. I'm not  usually like that. It is very humid, but i go pretty early  morning. Ah, as time goes on all will be clear.  I don't feel sick just tired.

I even started my challenge today,39 push-ups . All guns firing here!

WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY !

Yes I do sneak peaks through the week, all looks fine. My small loss last week has remained off and maybe a little more tomorrow.

I am only losing around .5 kg per week, but I know my waist has reduced by a couple of cm. Enough to notice changes in clothes. Isn't that amazing. I'm redistributing at a good rate. It makes up for the poor change in scales.  This is a good result for me, me losing anything is amazing!

Programming that works!

I have to say I am really enjoying the varied timetable , meaning different exercises each day.

Walking, riding ,one day of weights and a couple of video workouts. 

I can't always get the high calorie burn but it's coming together slowly. Yeh!

The food is a breeze! I keep getting told it isn't enough on riding days. I will keep it as it is unless I'm finding I can't keep up with riding then I will  reassess  

I supposed I covered too many ideas in one post. I feel if I write every day a spend all my time on the computer/ ipad.  

I'm loving this sharing of thoughts, such an indulgence!

I hope  my words are useful to other people  . 

Come share in the journey.

Cheers
