No Pain No Gain

My shoulders hurt... my arms hurt... i feel like i sprained my neck. The things we do to entertain ourselves. My hubby and i woke up Saturday morning and we were craving for some fun. It was a beautiful day so we decided to go kayaking at the lake. One thing i have not tried at Lake Travis.



It's 1pm in the afternoon and we are set to go. There were a lot of people spending the day at the lake. From kids wrapping up their summer rowing lessons... to families trying to entertain their kids... to individuals just out for some workout... to couples canoing giving their pet a chance to swim and enjoy the last days of summer.




We spent an hour at the lake and my arms were definitely put to good use! It was starting to get blazing hot so we decided to dock. I got out of the kayak wet from my waist down... half sun-burned... starving and parched... but despite all that, it sure was loads of fun! And i still manage a smile.


We headed downtown to get something to eat. Jo's, a local diner, seemed like an interesting place. After all the exercise, we tried to eat as healthy as possible. Fresh melon juice, a greek salad and no meat BBQ sandwich was perfect to satisfy our hunger.



Right across from Jo's are several shops. A stroll was about to take place when i saw this Italian ice cream shop as soon as we crossed the street. My hubby could not lure me away. And so i ordered this strawberry cookies and milk ice cream. We sit on one of the small tables out on the side walk, i raise up my leg, i start to feel my sore arms... i munch on my ice cream... Aaahhh what a great way to relax on a sunny Saturday afternoon.




Then off we go to continue our stroll before i head home to take a nice nap. The upper half of my body is sore! Is it possible that i may have gained an inkling of a muscle?? :)
