FITNESS CHICK

We had an amazing vacation, the campsite was set in a forest by a lake in the mountains. the lake was small and it was only a 7km bike ride around the whole thing.

At night they had junior ranger programs for the kids, they taught the kids about wildlife and played games and made crafts. My girls really enjoyed that.

We could not get over the fact that it was only $12 (6 pounds for you Brits!) a night to stay there, showers were free and the kids programs were free, the rangers kept the campsite really clean and tidy how do they make money??

We biked the lake twice, the 1st time we followed the walking path and ended up pushing our bikes over fallen trees and roots, we got to see an owl, it was pretty amazing it kept flying ahead of us and then watching where we were going, its wingspan must have been at least 2 m. The second time we took the right path but we ended up following bear tracks in the dirt for over 200m, it was pretty scary as the tracks were fresh. The girls and I would not go again for fear of seeing one even closer! Dee was getting annoyed with me calling out and making a noise, but after we saw the tracks she changed her mind and joined in ! lol On the last day there was a moose just chilling out in the lake, that was pretty amazing to see too.

I worked out at the campsite a couple of time, just body weight exercises. Eating was OK but we did drink a few beers everynight. Im home again and im back on track! We were in a group of about 14 families and there were about 30 kids there, it was great to meet new people and share stories around the campfires at night.

I have 24 hours till my mum gets here, i cant wait to see her its been 2 years. I have about 20 loads of washing to get through, thats the problem with staying in a remote campsite there isnt laundry so you have it all to do when you get home.

Ill try to get some photos added later today.

We are off on vacation for a week, not sure if we will find internet access, if we dont i will catch up with you all next week.

Till then.

Train hard and focus on your goals.

Found this on you tube ..

Im off to practice my push ups !

Just got back from the gym it was a great session, i felt a bit of a twinge on the mountain climbers so i just missed them out.

When i got home i made this little video, its inspired by the video Suz made on hers ! How about a little challenge!!!!

I got to the gym last night and i did the Fit Yummy mummy workout, i just dropped the weights down. Then i did some light intervals on the treadmill (walking 4.5mph and changing the incline). Bear in mind that my normal speed on the tradmill is to take it easy at 6mph and sprint at 12 mph, so i was VERY GOOD!

I was surprised by the sweat that i got, but it felt so good!

Not much more to say, im starting to pack for the holiday, we are off again for a weeks camping, we leave on Friday morning. I should be able to check in a couple of times depends if i can find a starbucks ;0) Frustrated about the not being able to swim part, but Mals coming too so the girls are going to still have loads of fun in the water. We are going in a big group so i am certain we are going to make many awesome memories.
