Brava! And I see someone jogging stage left!

Thanks, @mari-musing ! That would be my oldest son running in the background. When they can’t get outside in this snowy weather they have to put in a mile on the treadmill. They’re 12 and 14 so they usually try to run it so they complete it more quickly, lol :)

Why does autocorrect never actually correct?

Auto mess things up! :) take your wins where you can! Accomplice says thank you!

@runninginthemountains tagged me in a SDS! I’m in PJ’s at 3PM because life is good to me. I cut my hair on monday (like I grabbed scissors and cut it myself) and I must admit I’m proud, it’s looking good. I had cut it myself before, but it was like down to my elbows the last time I was brave enough. 

Anyways, I tag @discoveringmyselfagain (prettiest lady in this site), @mari-musing (the poor thing doesn’t post enough selfies as it is! sending you love!!), @fatmaninalittlesuit (because I just admire him so much) aaaaand @fitmeryem (have been following for very short and look forward to seeing her on my dash!!)

Ride Bikes Drink Beer Get Awesome weekend

Sunday 10 April 2016: 2100

The Husb and I are rounding off our weekend watching Paris Roubaix. We had planned to go to The Local Pub to watch it with friends on the big screen but last night’s Ride Bikes Drink Beer Get Awesome party was too big for our constitutions! If we’d stuck to beer we would have been okay. Cracking open the red wine at midnight seems like a fine idea at the time but not so much in the morning.

We had such a good time though. About 40-odd guests didn’t let the wet weather dampen their spirits - The Boy and his mates were on barbecue duty and were stoically cooking snaggers in the rain at one point. At least it was warm and calm. What’s more, we managed to finish the 50L keg of Stella Artois - Belgium beer as befits the season! It was a milestone birthday for The Husb but he didn’t want to pitch it as such (although some folks twigged and brought gifts, including a basket of fine cheese - yum!), which is why I ended up using his sister’s plate of home-made rocky-road confectionery as an impromptu birthday cake, with the lads pulling off chunks as I walked past with candles blazing!

Today took me until 3.00pm to feel well enough to start work on my compliance modules again. I was going great guns until 7.00pm when the site logged me out and didn’t let me log in again. I tried for an hour to troubleshoot it, including a password change, but ended up having to send a ‘please help’ email and shutting down until tomorrow.

Never mind, it was the universe making sure I watched the monument classic - so off I go to finish watching it! Happy Sunday all. But wait, I got myself in the newspaper again! I featured in the Sunday Times’s Body & Soul Instagram ‘What You’ve Been Up To’ section. In the media twice in one week; three times within a month - @mari-musing media start -  hilarious.

Day 7 low carb check in!

So all you Keto followers know the first week is always the best on the scale. I had eaten my weight back up to 156 lbs. Soooo close to 160. UGH! So scary. My highest weight is 186. For my height, at 5'2", that is obese. So I am back to 149.6. The scale will slow now but it's a huge motivator. 7 days in, I still have some thoughts about sugary foods. I thought about getting sugar free snacks like Popsicles or Adkins bars, but I have no restraint toward "sugar free" treats. I'll binge on them until gone. So I must go with out packaged snack foods. No chips for 4 days. I'm low carb so I am still eating a serving of fruit daily. It's still summer here in California and I cannot pass up fresh peaches and cherries. Good luck this week friends. I hope you meet all your weight loss goals, exercise PR and weight lifting gains. Also please send out Get Well vibes to the sweet mari-musing. We need her back on her bike soon! 😍

Oh bad luck ��. Cool partner running tattoos btw. I am edging ever-closer to my first tattoo (to mark my AEP journey) - my practicum is nearly done!

Yeah... bad luck, but at least I finished :) Thanks about the tatts, that was Accomplices first time under the needle, I have lots of ink. I think marking your AEP journey is an INCREDIBLE reason for a tattoo!! I can’t wait to see what you get done.
