The World Health Organization released a new report Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for Health. This document indicates that youth aged 5-17 years old should get 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity daily. These numbers are nothing new, but still, a reiteration of physical activity recommendations by the world’s leading health organization adds even more legitimacy to the existing guidelines. I look forward to the day when physical activity is a part of everyday life and doesn’t have to be ‘monitored’ to achieve health goals. Let’s get those kiddos (and ourselves) moving!

A foodie aside… Austrian Breakfast
This morning I treated myself to a yummy brekkie that I learned from my Austrian aunt:
Recipe (quantities are approximate):
1 C wheat farina
2 C milk
2 eggs, separated
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp Sugar
A pinch of salt
Directions:
Whisk all ingredients except egg whites together in large bowl until frothy. Whip egg whites until just before they form peaks, fold into batter. Pour into preheated and buttered nonstick shallow frying pan on low heat. Cover and cook, lifting mixture to allow remaining liquid to flow to the bottom. Once majority of liquid is evaporated (10 min or so) use wooden spoon to break it into pieces and turn up the heat, cooking until it is browned to your preference. Serve with homemade whipped cream and top with a bit more sugar if you would like it sweeter. Bon appetit!
Final timeline & pilot testing
This week: My timeline will be completed!
(I’d like to add that projecting how far and how fast one will complete various legs of a bike tour a whole 1 year prior to departure is a laborious task and not to be undertaken lightly… I’m pretty sure route planning will prove to be more difficult than actually riding the Tour!)
Additionally, I had a super successful meeting last week with a local middle school. The staff are really enthusiastic about the Tour and keen to get their students involved. I am lucky that the teachers are also willing to give me some feedback about the curriculum. The end result is going to be productive, exciting and interactive classroom sessions. Fantastic progress!
