Hey Liz
Good idea on taking the bike to the parade. Sounds like a nightmare... but also fun.
Isn't it great now that we are having some real summer weather. I can't wait to move out to the country (assuming the sale works out for us), the new place has a pond that we can jump in on hot days.
Do you bbq on xmas day? or have a sit down xmas dinner.

Sometimes we do BBQ, sometimes roast, sometimes just cold cuts on the table (ham, salad etc). The good thing is that its usually healthy so no major.
There are a lot in our family, i have 4 kids, plus hubby and me, and we usually do the big family thing with my husbands family every other year.
Husband is 1 of 10 kids, every single one of those 10 is married now and has kids, so you can imagine there is a very large group eating.
So you can imagine there is very rarely a sit down dinner, but more of a smorgasboard and everyone brings a plate.
When its just us though, it can be anything. In saying that, its my oldest sons birthday on Xmas day, hes 19 this year, so we do stuff for that also.
As far as diet is going, not to bad. Had a worrisome time yesterday, i biked to work ok, but realized that today was 1 of a 3 part xmas do. The whole office went to play golf at 2pm. Due to my bad knees atm i decided i was going to be the chauffeur and spent most of the afternoon/evening doing donuts and skids up and down the golf course.
Whilst fun, it really was hard to stick to eating every 2 hours, i ended up missing a meal which i made up a little later. I couldn't drink much because there were no toilets handy, and the golf course was a rabbit warren/maze.
I did get tempted by the beers that people were drinking (yeah i know, drinking and driving in gold carts) and had half a beer. That half a beer had so much impact due to lack of drinking and diet i never finished it (thats why it was a half!)
Anyway despite fun and antics diet was ok in the end. Exercise was a bonus, cycling to work gently was ok, today i cycle home (left my bike at work yesterday).
Today i got my very first Student Loan, im super happy about it! I'm finally going to become a Personal Trainer! Of course I have to do it part time in the evenings, so it will take me some time (a good few months), but the overall goal is achieved.
I do not plan to have this as my major job, but a part time hobby/backup skill, its just something i always wanted to do since i lost the initial amount of weight.
