RealRyders Rock!

Today was excellent, all around wonderful! I started the day with a 60 minute RealRyder class at my studio Core Essentials. The Ryders are up in the loft which is a fantastic space with tons of natural light and a wonderful view of the Halifax Harbour. Here's a pic -

There are about a dozen Ryders up there, and the one instructor (Max) who I've had twice now is excellent  - and highly tolerant of those of us who are new to biking! Its a kick-your-ass 60 minute class that leaves me weak and sweaty - just the way I like it! I'm definately thinking  this is something I'd like to keep in my routine.

Also, I need to congraduate Shanan - she gave it another try and found it easier this time. She had some soreness and wasn't looking positively on trying it again, but she did and she did AWESOME!! Way-to-go Shanan!! I think we both might invest in a padded seat cover though (my hiney is a tad sore tonight too) :)

Starting my day with a good workout makes the rest of my Saturday (home alone with the kids as hubby is working this weekend) so much easier! I cleaned, played board games with the kids, had two extra girls in for an afternoon playdate, and MADE SUPPER! Anyone who knows me well knows that I not only dislike cooking, but I'm terrible at it! LOL!

With strict instructions I seared a porkroast, covered it with tons of garlic and salt and pepper and baked it in the oven. Baked potatoes, peas and a garden salad - looks good doesn't it!

I'm so pleased with my day that I might reward myself my a BEER tonight!! : )
Nitey nite
