It's Time...

Today I did not wake up sore and cranky. Body parts were not hurting nor crying. However, as I later discovered whilst biking to the bike shop for a tune up without the padded shorts, my bottom is pretty tender (thumbs down).

About a week and a half ago, I shut my computer and declared (in the most dramatic and serious voice ever), "It's time". Time to get serious about fitness and get seriously fit. I bought a two week unlimited pass to a pilates and yoga studio. I bought a yoga mat. I bought a yoga bag. I bought work out clothes. I bought a heck of a lot of things and was NOT happy when I saw my Mastercard bill last week. Oh well. This is the price of fitness.

It all started last, last Friday: fusion yoga and pilates class. On Saturday, six hours teaching skating. On Monday, a mat/reformer class. On Tuesday, I convinced Dana and Alyssa to come to a fusion class. On Thursday, Dana bought a pass too and we went to cardio pilates. On Friday, a reformer session. On Saturday, a pilates mat class. On Sunday, a three and a half hour training session (we can now clip in with many thanks to Petre) and yesterday, a 10km ride in the hot afternoon sun with dad's pal Gary and his son Ian. Yes, I fell on Sunday when I was standing still (I know, ha, ha, ha), and yes, Dana was a big baby and afraid to bike on the road (ha, ha, ha). But hey, we survived! Sure I may have a few hand blisters and bruises from the fall and chain-coming-off-bike incident, but I'll be just fine.

I feel the need to add that Wallace had a fun Sunday in the sun too! Him and Gary's dog Bower spent the day lounging in the backyard while Livia watched them, patiently waiting to attack us with love upon our return. When we came back from our ride, we enjoyed some dessert and ice cream (Wallace had some licks of ice cream too). Overall a very nice week and even better weekend!

Today I bought Dana and I some gloves (blisters no more!) and cleat covers for our bike shoes, and I bought myself another jersey and some sunglasses. Now, we are pretty much set to conquer this ride!. I'm going to be kicking myself later for spending money again but hey, these items were essential.

Also, my pilates try-us pass is expiring soon and I need to buy a membership! Ahhhh! More expenses!

I suppose that is the price of fitness.
