Does my bum look big in this
I realise that over the last two weeks I have been a bad blogger - a very bad blogger indeed.
In my own defense, it was Easter - and I have actually been spending loads of time with my exercise bike.
Training began in earnest when my over-honest (just) four year old said "Mummy, you're fat". Full marks for observation, son.
In goes knife: "fatter than a house - your bottom's the biggest bottom in the world, mummy."
Small child runs off sniggering!
So I've geared up the training, and even though the weight doesn't seem to be coming off (must be hormones?) my stomach muscles are pulling (I hadn't expected that to happen!) and my leg muscles (top of legs) are definitely doing something.
I inwardly laughed the other day when a VERY fit young man (Early 20s) told me he's cycled 30 miles and he was sweating so he thought he'd got the wrong kind of bike to do the ride. I put it down to beauty not brains - I mean, 30 miles! Just an hour of solid cycling on the bike is bringing me out in a very rosy glow!
It's my birthday next week, so have again put in an order for cycling shorts.
And I've signed up for Rosemary Conley classes (As an aside, I can't bear the confessional tone of WeightWatchers. "I confess I had an extra glass of wine" - it just makes me want to snigger and cheat just so that I can make a shocking confession to see the looks on their faces. (Does this make me an evil person?) At least Rosemary Conley is based on some common sense - fill your tank up with calories and anything you don't burn off will be stored as fat - so get burnin'.)
Next weekend is the Action 100 riders party. To celebrate 25 fantastic years, the party is primarily for the cycling fundraisers to recognise the achievements of riders past and present, as well as looking forward to future successes for the charity. Guests of honour will include Lewis Coghlin, Head of Fundraising for Action Medical Research, and Mike Pope, an inspirational above-the-knee amputee who completed the ride in 2004 with his specially designed artificial leg.
So I now have just a week to get myself sylph-like and fit enough to cycle along the tow path to the venue: I just love an impossible challenge!
PS Now have over £70 of online sponsorship and a further £40 offline, without even having asked yet!
