Amazing April

One third of the year is officially over! Kinda scary huh. So that means its time for another monthly recap. Did you miss my others?

On reflection - this was a busy month - but certainly in a good way.

There was an unexpected triathlon, with a goggles fail....

A work trip to Melbourne...

A soggy Half Marathon...

A fun early morning ride with work colleagues...

And plenty of mountain bike rides...

Although some were better than others.

As the temperature started to decline throughout the month, there were also lots of comfort meals.

From soup...

To risotto...

And from prawns and polenta...

To a three part Indian feast!

Cakes were baked, and decorated....

On more than one occasion...

And I had lots of fun in the kitchen with my Hot Cross Bun experiment.

The Mystery Box was back with a purpose this month, and I ticked off another 5 ingredients!

Broccolini, celeriac, borlotti beans, edamame and tamarind.

This month I also started my MOVE it, TONE it and DRINK it challenge - with a view to increasing my workout times and being accountable for my water consumption. So far, so good, but there are still quite a few days left! Sadly the online program I use to keep track of my workouts is not working at the moment which is kinda frustrating. Almost 2 years of workouts logged and tracked - and now perhaps lost ?!?!?!

So there you have it - my April in a nutshell. And May is already shaping up to be a lot of fun - with a 10km race, my dad's 60th birthday and my 30th birthday!

Here's to a Memorable May!

_____________

Day 10 - MOVE it, TONE it, DRINK it

  • MOVE it – Yoga (1hr 10)
  • TONE it – Situps (100)
  • DRINK it – 1.5L

What about you? Did you have an amazing April?

Happy Baking :)
