Podgy!

Nearly forgot about the blog tonight. I was too busy registering Stuart and I for the Rides for the Roses in Austin, this October It is a bicycle ride hosted by Lance Armstrong and raising money for cancer research. I agreed to do it with Sarah C who is coming back out to visit her brother and is also doing it. We are going to do the 45 mile route, because I don't think I can manage 65 mile course as I have to make it halfway in 3 hours and we will be riding in the hill country. I am sure Stuart would be able to do it no trouble but he is going to keep me company. As with all these things we need to raise money so I apologise in advance, but I will be sending you a link to website so you can give generously!

I am feeling very depressed tonight because my trainer did a surprise weigh in this evening, and guess what, I am heavier than when I started! It is just not fair. I have told him I am going back to more swimming as running always seem to make me gain weight - I think it because I get too hungry after doing it! My trousers aren't really feeling any tighter so it appears to be muscle, but I don't want more muscle. Anyway, dinner was grilled veg and a boiled egg :(

Poor Stuart has spent the day trying to get car insurance for a reasonable price, but it seems like that is impossible. Car insurance is about 4 times what it is back home and that is still with a really large excess. The reason is because of all the drivers without insurance and I think the chance of suing/health costs etc! We are hoping our past no claims will help get the price down a bit. I am sure he will keep you posted on this one!

Happy Birthday Flora :)
