Guess what? It rained today. I feel like I am fighting the elements and I believe it's going to make me stronger. Today I faced those demons with a yummy cup of coffee from the bakery downstairs and my regular croissant au jambon. I almost didn't feel the ice-like rain on my face as I biked to an emtpy rowing club. Actually I did warmup on the way there so can't really complain, but I did forget my booties...oh oh. In any case, I did a weight circuit workout all by myself. SWEET! I took over the basement, blasted the music and off I was running around my little made up stations. And the rowing club has two trainers... I'm all set for winter.
Upon completion, I hopped on zee cross bike and rode to work at a 45 degree angle. I chose the bike path directly on the water for the sense of adventure and was mesmerized by the 3 foot waves. Water and debris were spraying up angrily and I was having fun watching this. Except of course when I got a good dumping on me...Darn where were those booties...Wanted to take a picture, but with the new camera and more months ahead of me I didn't want to risk water damage.
Work went by, finally met my boss today, and realized I have a heck of a lot to learn. So, I texted Taz and suggested another workout.. So I hoped back to zee club and did some trainer time and believe it or not a whopping 5 min on the erg!
Back at home I made us some yummy sandwiches thanks to Taz playing hausfrau today and doing the laundry and groceries...:) And we had awesome apricot sorbet icecream and chocolate for dessert. Chocolate and cheese are SOOOOO cheap here, sigh...this is not good.
As for picture, well, um...you would have gotten one of the ice-cream...but...uh...new camera apparently likes to have it's battery charged and doesn't take pictures with it dead...OOOPS.
Tomorrow I promises...and I'll highlight the little real pieces of apricot in the sorbet.

I did the grocery shopping and get this.
head of lettuce = $5.20
250g chips = $4.70
100g beef = you can't afford it!
BUT...
100g of Schokolade = 55 cents!
You wondered why Europeans go nuts over the sweat coco bean. Mystery solved.
