It took a while, thanks to a nasty flu and some nasty weather, but I\u2019ve finally started getting out on my new bike<\/a>!\u00a0 Today Xander and I went on a lovely 18.8 km bike ride<\/a>, what a way to spend a Sunday!<\/p>\n

My new bike is fantastic and riding it highlighted just how crappy my old bike was.\u00a0 I also was in slightly better shape so with that together with a more quality bike, the ride was a lot more enjoyable.<\/p>\n

The best part?\u00a0 I no longer had that feeling like I looked like an elephant on a tricycle like you see in the cartoons.\u00a0 Xander<\/a> took some photos of me on the bike because I was curious what I looked like on it (yes, these are the things you think about and worry about when you, or at least me, are a fat girl!).\u00a0 I didn\u2019t look like an elephant, at least not in my opinion, but I did look kinda stoned.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t though, I swear.<\/p>\n

A large part of the ride was through Zuiderpark<\/a>, which I always find is a lovely area to bike.\u00a0 It\u2019s just nearby enough and just big enough to be able to spend a decent time biking around there.\u00a0 Plus, the scenery is nice.<\/p>\n

After about 12kms we realized that it was lunch time and we just weren\u2019t ready to go home, but of course I had to eat as I\u2019d already been out longer than expected and didn\u2019t get my afternoon snack in.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t hungry but I knew better than to skip lunch just because I was silly and didn\u2019t pack one to bring with me.\u00a0 We were near a restaurant that we know so we decided to bike to there and stop for a sandwich.<\/p>\n

Uh yeah so this photo of me, it\u2019s kinda wonky because I butchered it in Photoshop.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t change anything about myself but Xander took the photo with the sun from the back and my entire face was black in the photo.\u00a0 I\u2019m no Photoshop whiz and in the process of trying to lighten it I made it\u2026 weird.\u00a0 Pretty sure my face actually was pretty red, but it looks a lot more blotchy and yeah, WEIRD.\u00a0 I wanted to include the photo regardless, because it was just such a great day and I felt so good right at that moment.<\/p>\n

The sun was shining so we took advantage and sat outside on the terrace.\u00a0 Mother Nature was kind to us and gave us great weather through our whole lunch and we were in heaven.<\/p>\n

\"Tosti\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I posted this all on Facebook some people were curious about what I ate, since I posted that I was at a restaurant for lunch\u2026 well, this is it!\u00a0 A half a ham and cheese tosti.\u00a0 Normally I would ask for brown bread but I forgot completely. It wasn\u2019t bad, <\/em>like I wasn\u2019t afraid it would affect me badly, just brown bread is better nutritionally.\u00a0 I don\u2019t eat a lot of bread but when I do, at times like this for convenience sake, I definitely prefer brown.<\/p>\n

I cannot tell a lie, though\u2026 it was the first time I’ve had white bread in as long as I can remember, maybe even years, and it was delicious! haha\u00a0 I forgot how much nicer it is toasted than brown bread.\u00a0 I\u2019ll have to re-forget because I won\u2019t be making a habit of eating white bread (well, white anything really).<\/p>\n

So that was my day today, it felt fantastic!\u00a0 We both enjoy being out and being active together so much\u2026 we spent a lot of time chatting about plans for biking for the summer, and even looking for a cheap bike rack for the car second hand so that we can branch out a bit more!<\/p>\n

So how did you spend your Sunday?!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
