Breakfast friday. We thought we had died and gone to heaven. Two pancakes, eggs and a turkey sausage. YUM
Sorry about missing Friday. I came back to my room and I went to sleep and couldn’t get the energy to write anything. So it is Saturday and we had a long hike, and I choose to do the same one as Friday since it was a challenge with beautiful views.
Having made it through Friday, another day full of exercise and hiking, I was quite thrilled since I pushed my self much harder. I have finally let go of the handles on the treadmill and even jogged very slow and a very short time, but I jogged !!! We had a cardio disco jam class that was really fun, but exhausting and I ended my day with a liquid moves class and then hit the hot tub before dinner. There is always a lot of activity around here until 10 PM and then it is lights out and you could hear a pin drop if you are still awake.
Today is just a half day of exercise and then we are to rest our weary bones the rest of the day and Sunday. Believe me I need the rest !!! I’ve also been a bit homesick and teary eyed this morning but I jacked myself up and am now focused again on my goals. The hike was beautiful and of course exhausting. I did much better today and even jogged again on the flat parts. Then I creep up the inclines breathing as if it were my last breath. After the hike we had a water class and then we were free for a day and a half….YEA !!!
Tonight is our graduation Festivities so it will be a hoot. During the week a gal takes videos and stills of all of us during all the activities and makes a DVD out of them for all of us. I couldn’t believe she hauls her camera and video equipment up the mountains and catches us coming down and up the trails. Oh dear I do hope my fourth week video is better.
Tomorrow my friend Amy, Doreen, and I are going to Malibu. We are going to check out a mall and then go to the pier and look for movie stars. They are all over here. The other day one of the group sort of complained about a dog that jump up on her on the beach walk. Well she looked up and the owner was Pierce Bronson, HOHO How funny. Anyway I am going to enjoy the company and get a few essentials at Target. It will be fun and I love the friends I have met here. Everyone is so supportive and fun to be around. I will post a few pictures too
Ruth, you sound so much stronger. Hope you have a wonderful Sunday - rest and rejuvenate. Sounds like you, Amy, and Doreen had a fun time planned as well. I am sure I will get homesick too. I don't think it is normal if you don't get a bit weepy during this adventure. Two weeks from today I will be there. I know I can exercise the first day and get through 7 hours; however, the extreme shock will come when they expect me to do it again on Tues (and Wed) LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear you sound better. Everyone says it just takes a few days.
Best wishes and prayers coming your way. Hang tough girl!!
