My what a glorious weekend!
Sunday we participated in an AWESOME event called ‘Ciclavia’, it’s described as:
“Los Angeles’ first “open-street” Sunday. Seven and a half miles of streets will be car-free from 10 AM - 3 PM on Sunday October 10th 2010. The streets will be safe for people to walk, skate, play and ride a bike. A Ciclovía is not just for recreation. It is social integration.”
Round-trip we biked a total of 16.6 miles….and we had a blast!
I am SO proud of us, I am SO impressed by my body & I am SO inspired to see what I can do next!
I couldn’t help but think that if my body can do this without exercising often, ok eating and extra weight on it….then WHAT IS MY BODY CAPABLE OF WITH: regular exercise + mindful eating + less weight on it?!!! I REALLY WANT TO FIND OUT! For the first time I thought to myself, ‘hey you know that marathon you’ve always dreamed of completing? you really could do it…’
Weekend eats included the following…
Saturday:
[iced coffee brewed for 14 hours from Commissary]
[actually eaten: 1/2 sandwich, 2 servings coleslaw & a couple soggy fries]
[Serving size: 3/4 cup pineapple paradise + 3 oz. orange chicken X2]
Sunday:
[a breakfast fit for biking champions: open-faced EAT sandwich (egg,avocado,tomato) + 1/2 a banana & kiwi]
[curbside lunch: 1/2 of a chicken-salad sandwich on wheat, 1/2 serving freshly-made chips + ketchup]
[post-bike 'meal-gone-in-60-seconds': 2 oz. leftover orange chicken + 1 cup pineapple fried rice]
[kitchen sink leftovers: 1/4 baked potato, 1/4 cup baked beans, 1 cup veggie mix + roasted broccoli]
Now the wheels in my brain are turning…what to set my mind to?? Hmmm…I shall ponder
