The offspring is doing a cycle race on Sunday, so today & tomorrow his
mentor's advice is to cycle gently, just to keep the legs ticking over
ready
for Sunday. As today is a holiday, he came out for a cycle ride with his
Dear Old Mum, on the entirely correct theory that as I cycle a lot slower
than he does, he wouldn't actually be pushing himself too hard - just
keeping his legs ticking over. So we did a leisurely 18 - 20 miler,
stopping
for lunch at our favourite Ye Olde Worlde Tea Shoppe in Ye Olde Worlde
Quainte Village of Castle Acre. It's the place husband & I sometimes have
lunch at & I like as I can have some quite delicious home-made soup (carrot
& orange today) with a chunk of warm wholemeal bread, whilst husband stuffs
himself on the delicious home-made cakes they do.

The waitress taking our order asked how far we were cycling & if it was
tiring. In course of conversation I said I was cycling with my son.
Waitress
said I didn't look old enough for Nathan to be my son. I do appreciate a
good OTT compliment ;-)

The best bit was when cycling home, my son, who I don't usually cycle with
as he's much faster than me (oh, to be young & fit!) said that he's noticed
today how much fitter I am. He said he can really tell on the hills where I
used to really huff & puff to get up them and how he & I were carrying on a
normal conversation as we pootled along and that he noticed that I wasn't
having to use the really low gears to get up the same hills, whereas before
I would struggle along in the lowest gear of the granny ring.

So losing this weight (48lbs and counting) really is starting to give me
noticeable health benefits and that is a great incentive for me to stick
with it :-)

Cheers, helen s
