Love your picture. I wish I could bring myself to up my exercise. I am so lazy but try 15 miles on my exercise bike every day. Food look lovely too. I hav ebeen thinking of trying SW potato pizza to see how it is. Have a great day.

 

[Purplebint]

The SW potato pizza is very yummy, I like the cauliflower crust one too.

I am quite lazy by nature, given the chance it'll be the sofa and a book over pretty much anything. I've spent 3 years in constant pain with my back, the relief I get from the exercise is worth the effort to get moving I used to have an exercise bike, but I used it to hang clothes on! lol I finally learnt to ride a proper bicycle last year and have loved it ever since

It was an interesting ride there. It's normally 12.5km to get to the park we were all meeting at, but that's down canal paths and cutting across 2 parks. I was halfway there when I saw my path disappearing into the canal. Completely flooded over, so I had to turn back to the city and cross over into a different cycle route. Still flooding on this side, but the paths were still partly usable. I got drenched up to mid calves having to cycle through 1-2 foot of water. So that was fun So, took me an extra half hour and another 5km to get there. It wouldn't have been safe for me to try and ride back home at night so had to call my hubby to come rescue me, lol!This is the route I had to take - Cycling Activity 17.10 km | RunKeeper not sure how well that link works if you're not in my runkeeper group.

The photoshoot thingy went ok, I really am not comfortable with photos and stuff but better than I used to be. I still think of myself as 20+ stone and find it hard to reconcile that with how I look now. If it persuades someone else to go learn how to ride a bike then it will be worth it

I have heard alot of ppl talk about the cauli crust, do you think its worth the 3 lots of cheese used? I heard the cauli rice mentioned too so I had a look at that... bizarre but Ill prob end up giving it a go lol

 

[Purplebint]

I didn't use the 3 lots of cheese when I made it, just the one hexa in the crust and another hexa for the topping. I think.

I've just been for another bike ride to the gym and back for another swim, gotta make the most of this membership lol!
