Fit Weekend

Well the weather this weekend was hot and sunny throughout, and I managed to squeeze in plenty of exercise!

Saturday was the gym, where I did my usual plus 3 sets of 8 squats, and 3 sets of 8 deadlifts. Both were with pretty light weights - I think because I don't do them very often, I will start of light and make sure I've got the form dead right before adding more weight gradually. Felt really strong at the gym which is always nice!

Haven't yet ordered the Aussiebums, so will sort that out shortly!

Sunday I went for a long bike ride with the bf, although I cycle daily to and from work I haven't had a bike ride of this length for a long time! As a result, my quads are aching today but not horribly, and I feel like it was not only good exercise but also a good use of a Sunday afternoon!

Shame about my horrible hayfever at the moment, it's really bad and I'm suffering a lot. Roll on later in the summer when it fades away and I can enjoy the weather properly!

I'm also pleased that I've managed to drink a Hurricane shake every day, and am determined to keep that up now. I had one this morning, I think on a non-gym day I'll just have one and on a gym day have 2. I'm going to the gym tomorrow and Thursday - I don't think I'll get a chance to at the weekend though as I've got friends coming to stay!
