    Ok- exercise was fabulous, big tick 3k run, 1k row, 12k cycle and 5 weights circuit (4x15 reps of each)

    Food, big thumbs down DD didn't like her lunch so i ended up eating two bowls of pasta (i made double for her dinner as well), on top of my well intended velish pumpkin soup, and then i added in 2 slices of pana di cassa bread with butter... How can i salvage this? I was thinking of having a tuna salad (tuna, lettuce, corn, tomato, cucumber) for dinner instead of the family dinner. I am breastfeeding, so i am giving myself 500 additional calories, but i think all this pasta was a bit over the top!

    well done on the exercise After a lunch like that, I would generally not eat the family dinner and have a bowl of soup or a salad instead.

    Ok ladies i had 2 feral teething kids and it was nice outside so i did the dishes, 2 loads of washing, mopped the floor then drove to the closest town (could walk IF there was a footpath and it wasn't 100k country road) and took the girls for a walk.. according to runkeeper i walked 1.72km in 30min (was a little less but i wrote 30, and we stopped a couple of times).. that was pushing 2 kids in a pram when i haven't walked 'properly' in years.
    I walking and i've missed it but man it hurt, also didn't realise how steep the hills were in that little town with 2 main roads so some of my travels were on gravel.. pmsl.

    Girls enjoyed themselves and i got out and about, might have to do it more often.

    I went for a walk too. I managed 0.8km before it started bucketing down rain. Since i'm still not 100% over my bronchitis, i got DH to come get me so i didn't end up with pneumonia or something. Never realised how stuffed my back is. My pelvis must really be out of alinment. Time to see the Chiro i think. The walk itself was ok though. Not as unfit as i thought i was.

    Sounds good. Aim for 9.30 Wednesday and then we have thurs as a back up or we can walk both days?
