We finally have sun in our region!!! The hubby and I went biking, although my butt told me I'm still sore, so I only did 2km in 30 to 40 minutes. He's still out there biking away. I am the world's slowest cyclist. :blushing: But it's better than sitting on my butt at home. Although drinks on a patio was pretty tempting. :drinker:
Waiting for some fresh corn on the cob to steam and rice as well. Snacking on a strawberry yogurt cup.0 -

Now I sympathize with the original Little Mermaid today. She was cursed when she transformed into a human that every step would feel like stepping on glass. That's how my feet feel today after shopping around for Mother's day gifts. Mom wanted a specific table and most stores were sold out!
Burned around 2 hours of being on my feet breaking in new sandal wedges. I think MFP should compare walking in regular shoes to walking in heels. I think we burn more calories that way. :P0 -
