Today is Day 20 and if you read along at all, you’ll notice that there haven’t been any posts for the last few days. That’s not to say I haven’t been busy. Saturday my daughter and I went for a nice 9.75 mile bike ride; just before the nasty weather and rain came to Calgary.
Yesterday is a different story. Yesterday was Day 19 and ultimately the first day since I started my 8 week challenge that I did nothing physical. Rather than sit and look at what I could or couldn’t physically do yesterday, I’m moving forward today.
The alarm went off early today…5:30 to be exact. I hit the snooze once, but only really to make it stop buzzing. Slowly rolled out from under the covers, got changed and bike the 3+ miles to work. Then it was work out time. I did the workout from the other day that Terri Champagne had setup for me and it went well I think. I’m busy shaking as I write this so my arms definitely got their workout.
All that’s left is a full day of work, then a 3+ mile bike ride home and I’ll have easily made up for my lack of sweat yesterday. Looking at tomorrows schedule, it looks like it might also be a challenge. Out of curiosity, what do you consider worthy of a “sweaty post” here?
And for the record, here’s a Lemonade recipe, courtesy of Simply Recipes
Perfect Lemonade Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar (can reduce to 3/4 cup)
- 1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)
Method
- Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.
- While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.
- Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it.
Serve with ice, sliced lemons.
Serves 6.
