Friday Fun Day

This morning I woke up around 6:30 and got ready for breakfast. I mixed it up today with eggs and toast. I took TJ aside and told her I wouldn't be going on the hike today and she reminded me that I was F'ing Awesome and to put that on a sticky note somewhere in my life that said just that, it's currently on the mirror in my bathroom. Then everyone went out for there hike. I went back to my room to start slowly getting back into reality. I read some work email, paid some bills, and did some getting healthy shopping on Amazon.

Then I walked to the gym and all of the instructors were in there working out, I saw them and decided I didn't want to work out with them. So I went back to my room and did a little more shopping. I bought a foam roller and yoga mat, a cookbook, Wii Zumba and Wii Jillian Micheals workout, weight training for dummies, and Intentional Eating all for under $70! Thank you Amazon!

Once I was done shopping I went back to the gym, the trainers were still there but this time I didn't care. I got up on a treadmill and really pushed myself, then an elliptical, a bike, and ended with treadmill. Then I had a session on reading labels that was great and super informative, and before I knew it, it was time for lunch, which was delicious a steak pita and tomato soup (the soups here are amazing!)

After lunch we had a round table with a trainer, life coach, and dietician. It was great and I took some really good notes on how to not loose this momentum. Then it was off to swim, which was great and much needed for a hot day. After swim we did Aqua Zumba ending with us all saying "I am beautiful, I am Handsome, I am worthy, I am FABULOUS" and then I ended my workouts with a stretch class. The last learning session I had was "working out at home" with Cam, who is really good and makes things very doable.

Dinner I sat with the Rowdy girls and laughed, I ordered the tuna salad off the alternative menu and it was SO GOOD! We had apple cobbler for dessert.  After dinner the wood sprite brought her cute little Boston Terrier Elliot out to the patio and we all sat around and talked and played catch with that little guy.

Today reminded me how much I love living in community! I feel so supported here and safe, and I have only known these people for SIX DAYS! I have learned so much about myself this week and today I just enjoyed every minute of it. I knew when I was getting anxious, I knew when I was working hard, and I just rode the day like wave letting it all wash over me.
