Yesterday, Good Friday, it was a glorious warm and sunny day here in Bonny Scotland! I started the day off with a 40 minute walk with Molly. When I got home, I had a protein shake and a banana for Brunch. Watched a bit of TV and then decided to go for a bike ride!
I cycled just under 13 miles, which I think is pretty good for me, since it was only my 2nd outing on the bike this year. My last bike ride a couple of weeks ago was only 3.55 miles! It felt so good to be out in the sun with the warm air on my face. I cycled along the Forth and Clyde Canal, which is pretty scenic in parts. I passed a lovely pub which was right on the canal. It was sooo busy! The cycle path actually goes straight through the outdoor seating area! I cycled to my gym, and then headed out a bit further before deciding to head home again! I burned a whopping 1079 calories on this bike ride. It took me about an hour and a half.
Cycling to the gym for a workout is also next on my agenda...... =)
Next time I am out on the bike I am aiming to cycle to Speirs Wharf in Glasgow city centre! I think that would be about a 20 mile round trip. Here are just a few photos I took with my iPhone. Next time I am going to take my small Canon digital camera. And if I kit my bike out with a front basket, I may take my DSLR one day.

| River Clyde - I detoured down to this part on my way home. |
All these photos are out of order! I couldn't seem to get them in the right place....sooo annoying.
I recently bought Dance Central for Xbox Kinect from Ebay and on Friday night had myself a little dance tuition! I'm telling you, some of the dances on DC were straight up hard! I was sweating buckets by the time I had switched it off! I was more than awesome dancing to Lady Gaga - Just Dance............ ;-)
So, tomorrow is Easter Sunday. And I have a Creme Egg Easter Egg that is tucked up in the fridge! I can't wait to have half of it tomorrow. Hopefully, Kenny will have the other half so that I'm not tempted by it and eat the whole thing!
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter holiday - I'll be back soon with another weigh in =)
