Ouch
So I told you about the ab workout I tried yesterday. Well last night I got very little sleep due to the sore hips. Must have been from all the side crunchs where I had to lift the leg out to the side to get the hip as close to the ribs. Every time I moved I was in pain. Didn’t help that at one stage we had a child in bed who couldn’t sleep in a still fashion and once he was moved back to his bed then another child would arrive. I got out of bed at 7.30am and had to manoeuvre very carefully to get up. I am still real sore now.
I was busy and hadn’t eaten breakfast when I had to go to the dentist, as last night my crowned tooth broke away. I went and they cemented it back in and then slapped me with a big bill, which I am not happy paying as only had the crown for 1year and surely should last longer than that. I have done some research and think I can get around it or at least reduce it. Anyway they said don’t eat for 90mins to allow the cement to set. As good as that is we planned to go to Te Papa as soon as I pulled up, so would miss out on eating my english muffin.
We did go to Te Papa and I was pleased Martin had packed some snacks that we ate. By then 2.5hours later that dentist app. We hoped to go on some of the rides but our munchkins are a little short for the allowance so hopefully this time next year they will have had their growth spurt and be the perfect height. The kids love the interactive sections of the museum so enjoy going 4 times a year (each school holidays).
I was so tired from my bad sleep, and walking around Te papa so I had told Martin I wanted a Nana nap once home, but after clearing out the drawers of clothes not worn in some time (Spring Cleaning) I had to either have a nap of go on my bike ride. Well me being me made the good decision and went on the ride.
On Saturday I had a 40minute ride and had to venture the suburban streets to fill in the time. Well today I had a 35min ride planned and I rode the exact same route but in 35mins. So I am really excited as am getting faster and it is easier to achieve the ride. You should see the leg muscles developing too. I show Martin each time as I am impressed. lol
Well had dinner and it is kids bath time, so till tomorrow take care, be safe .

Martin is impressed also by the muscles!
It is quite inspiring to see you go at it; not that I have put any plans into action!
I think our boy and girl are also getting a lot out of this and learning more about exercise. I can’t wait to take them in Jan to watch you race.

I told Brian tonight about your journey and he said ‘Good on her’. I totally agree!!
You know the saying – when the going gets tough the tough get going? Well that’s what you’re all about. xxx
