You are an inspiration.
Lorna From: "Prairie Roots" Subject: NSV! Date: March 25, 2005 8:50 AM Yes, Yes, Yes. Great stories both. -- Linda P On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 13:24:49 -0000, "wafflycat" wafflesATv21netDOTcoDOTuk wrote: 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 |
