This is Gerry and Homa. They started the same week as me but left last Sunday. They were the funniest, sweetest couple here. I miss Gerry's laugh and Homa's ability to kick ass in the work out classes! That lady has some energy!On to my day. It was much better today. SO much better. I woke up with a great attitude, thanks to everyones encouragement and support. I was able to jog a little during my Ultra circuit class and I was so happy. Tomorrow is the 5k but I'm not sure if I'm going to do it yet. I wont be able to do it as fast as last week so I might just leave my knee alone. I'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow.
My exercise today:
Sunrise Beach walk
Ultra Circuit
Super Circuit
Personal Training with Amber
4 mile walk around the compound by myself
A huge group came in last weekend so everything is busier and louder and more chaotic. It's not only me, most of the "older people" who have been here at least a week are so irritated with the new group. There are a few cool people, but most of them are getting on our nerves. So anyway, I went for a long walk by myself today. It was sunny and peaceful and I had a really relaxing time! Tomorrow I'm going kayaking and out to dinner with a group and one of the instructors here. We are going to Bonefish to practice real life eating out and ordering. I will not be getting the Bang Bang Shrimp :(
Thanks to Justin, mom, Carey, Brenda and Tamy for writing me a little pick me up after yesterdays blechy day! You guys are the best!
Most of the lectures have been repeats so I have no new information to share with you. I met with the head chef today to discuss cooking at home and how to sneak veggies into Justin without him knowing. Also talked about food planning and shopping. It was good info!
Calories burned: 2900

I wont do it, you cant make me....no veggies. Its a conspiracy I tell you!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a better day. I met with Brenda and Dino today and went to the new Lodge today... I think I will give it a few weeks to work out all the bugs. They miss you as much as I do but Dino will never admit it.
Rain has started here again and 4" of snow expected in the mountains by saturday, back to Seattle in Feb weather.
Love you and miss you see you in LESS THAN a week
Oh... I am SOOOOOO happy to hear you were having a better day today. And walking by yourself not only alleviates your irritation with the newbies, but I bet you had an opportunity to do some self reflection. I walked 7 miles today and (so sorry Mark!) wish I had done it by myself. Not to slam him, but I really needed that soul-calming quiet time to be in my own head.
ReplyDeleteI bet the chef had some great ideas... I try to be sneaky with the fam, and it works most of the time.
If you do end up participating in the 5k... don't even worry about your "time"... you just listen to your body and know that no matter what your time is, you have made such huge strides in your fitness and health, and that's WAY BETTER than how quickly you cross the finish line!
Keep the faith, girl!
XOXO

ReplyDeleteGlad you had a better day Karen. I hope to see you as soon as you get home! You look fantastic; in all the pics youve posted.
Hi Girl -
ReplyDeleteSad to hear about your couple that left, they sound very nice. So more newbies, huh! Sorry they are getting on your nerves so far! Sounds like you are doing better then you were a couple of day ago. Im so glad to hear that you are! Only a little more to go and then you are done! Are you excited ? Or do you think it will be weird to leave ? I wish I could be taking a relaxing walk on the beach, with sun! Ugh the weather has been so off and on, its been irritating. One day its beautiful then the next couple of hours go by and its raining, then back to sun! Oh well. Seattle! what can you do! miss you and love you, keep up the great work.
