Week 1 in the Bag!!!

Today was like having minimum day when we were in elementary school!! Yay!

It started out with NO 6am class and it was over by lunch!!!! So after lunch we went to Coyote Gulch to a Art Gallery. We spent about 30 minutes walking through the shops and then spent the rest of the time just chillin in the sun.



I think I may have been the inspiration for this art piece... Breath taking don't ya think??? :-)




See of no, Speak of no and Hear of no TEMPTATIONS!!!


Before we were let out of school early, we did have our morning sessions. For Janette this included a 2.5hr cardio blast class in which she burned about 1500 calories!!! For Julie and I we took to the trails again choosing  The West Canyon Trail. This trail had a gradual 200ft climb and we had a 7.5 mile round trip. After this Julie picked the pool for her last class, while Janette and I did the Circuit in the gym.

We came back from our outing to watch one of the most NOT funny comedies ever made... Burn After Reading! They should have burned the script before making the movie!!! LOL Then after dinner we had like a little graduation ceremony for those who are going home tomorrow. It was very touching to see and hear about how people have changed their lives for the better and the plans they have to go home and pay it forward, starting with their families. We ended the evening with an awesome video of the weeks events!!!

So here is a summary of today:

7:00 - Breakfast: Whole Wheat English Muffin and a Fruit Smoothie
8:00 - Hike / Cardio Blast
11:15 - Circuit / Pool
12:30 - Lunch: Turnip Soup and Fish Tacos

1:20 - Coyote Gulch
4:00 - Movie
5:30 - Dinner: Turkey Salisbury Steak with Veggies / Dessert: Pineapple Sorbet

Over all it hasn't been an easy week, but it is in the bag! So bring on Week Two!!! We are looking forward to see how much further we can push ourselves, increase our reps, inclines, speeds, endurance and strength. Strength not just in muscle but in will power, in making the right choices, in recognizing true hunger verses emotion. Now, all we ask is for the strength to crawl into bed!!!

Good night all! ;-)
