Felicity Day-21st February 2006

Afternoon all.
This morning when I woke, after a much needed sleep in, at 8.30. I declared today to be my day.I had my fruit toast and a grpaefruit for breakfast. Then packed my back pack with the chores and errands I needed to do and bottle of water. Snack of yoghurt and banana and I was off on my bike ride.
Very pleased with myself did the 10k's I normally do but changed my route to include a hill...plan was to walk down hill and then walk up it but as I approached it I thought oh what have I got to loose I'll try biking down and I'll walk up. So I went down really didn't include much 'biking' as I free wheeled most of it, then carried on the road a waYS turned around and was heading for the hill, go on give it a go...I huffed and puffed and gasped and panted but I made it to the top. Nearing the top I thought I'll rest a while but whenI got to top I carried on and within what only seemed like seconds I was back to breathing normally I had recovered and continued on my trek. As it happened it was exactly 10k to the shops so I stopped did my messages then rode on to Mum's had a coffee with her and my snack and then home again. All up I travelled 12 k but as the last 2 was stop and starts I don't say that counts. My legs are a bit tight now but I am just so darn proud of myself.
Those darn scales may not be moving much over the last 3 mths but I know darn well I couldn't have clocked up 12 k on bike and battled that hill 3 mths ago so my fittness has made a marked improvement.This afternoon I was booked in for a spa and massage but unfortunately the massage has had to be postponed the lady had double booked herself and muggens me said I'd step back for another day. So still going for the spa.
Have salmon with papaya salsa on menu for tea with baby gourmet tatties, corn on cob and green beans. I have also said I'll join the 'over 60's group' tomorrow on there bus trip, I don't fit in the age bracket but am going as a voulenteer. The fact they are going to the beach has nothing to do with my voulenteering at all, not half it hasn't...i can put up with 12 old wrinklies if it means I can go for a walk/paddle in the sea. They are also intending a grocery stop so that will be good as I am out of veges and fruit again.cket but am going as a voulenteer. The factthey are going to the beach has nothing to do with my voulenteering at all, not half it hasn't...i can put up with 12 old wrinklies if it means I can go for a walk/paddle in the sea. So my ME day will continue into tomorrow to a degree. (and if the shopping part should happen to venture near Mill Hill Jewellers well what is a girl to do but to go with the flow.)
Best go get ready for spa. Have a good afternoon everyone and enjoy Felicity day as much as I will be.
