1. family bike ride. and not just on sundays either.

the agent is doing the sydney-gong bike ride. 90km one in fact. yikes. he's gonna have a sore butt after that!

anyway, since we now each have a push bike (well, he has 3 i think, but only one bum!) and our bikes have the kids seats on them for the girls, i want to start riding more often. sundays are best of course, as there is no time constraints. however with the sun being up at 6am, and my children thinking they should be too, i'd rather we all got up and rode for 30-45mins in the morning. the agent wasn't too keen on this idea, as riding with us is not enough of a workout for him which i completely understand. he and one of the guys from his office who is doing the gong ride too have taken to meeting at 7am for a ride together - one that goes further and harder than what the girls and i can manage.

i pointed out to the agent tho, that i'd rather start riding as a family NOW at 28 weeks pregnant rather than wait till after the gong ride when i'll be 31+ weeks pregnant. he agreed to it, provided we are back home by 7am for him to then go again on his own. i'm fine with that! now it's just a case of setting my alarm, getting the girls in to bed earlier, getting myself into bed earlier and getting up in the morning to do the ride! i love starting the day with endorphins, and i figure this is one thing the girls can do with their father during the week. they have hardly any contact with him other than sundays, so a bike ride of a morning would be great. family time + exercise = win-win situation

2. be organised.

in everything.

training times written in my diary.

meal plan written up and stuck up on the fridge.

girls' routine written up and us following it.

shopping done and put away!

cleaning done.

ironing done - so that the agent doesn't run out of shirts! not that he has for a couple of weeks now, yay! go me!

it will take a lot of energy to do it all - and my energy levels seriously wane in the evening.....

3. blog this week!

not every little minute detail of my life....just my thoughts, success, failures.....

4. top of my cupboard cleaned out.

sooo many clothes up there. all need sorting!

and now i can't think of anything else....
