Shane and I are doing great.
Monday was aweful! We both were ready to get our hineys to the front desk and demand a refund! Reasons??? Welll when we got here Sunday we were very surprised and the place, not at ALL a resort! I see now the huge price we paid was for our food and trainers because thats all we do besides sleep is workout and eat to survive! lol But Monday was so mentally hard. I couldnt push thru a single workout. I was angry and crying alll day. The nicotine withdraws were pure torture! The out door pool was "heated" ya right it was freeeeeezing! and it was required for me to attend a class in it twice on that day! lol Shane took it all in way better stride than me. Monday night a trainer came up to me and asked me how do you like it, I said... I HATE this place. She looked hurt and confused, and I ended up telling her it was the withdraws talking... The foood here is wonderful! Very feeling. Pre-portioned and calorie counted. Your only way to go above 1200 calories is if you eat from the saladbar also labled with calorie counts. Some days this is a must. The harder I worked the more ravenous I felt. This was breakfast on day one, Sausgage muffin with egg cheese and mixed fruit. Alllll prepared Biggest Loser style of course. It is a homemade turkey sausgae pattie with diced apple in it for added fiber a whole wheat english muffin tofu cheese (amazing) and then egg beaters for the eggs. Favorite breakfast so far~
This is our daily menu that is put if in the cafe for meal planning and figuring up you calories for the day. To this you also get an extra piece of fruit of your choice and 12 almonds for during your hike, and yes I said 12! I was like whats the point. But on my first hike I went ahead and ate them and OMG it helped replenish great energy!
By Tuesday I was feeling every muscle in my body. Crying a little less. And working out a little harder. Shane was just doing great. He hurt his hip a little, but the hot tub and sleepthat night worked that out I think.
And By Wednesday, I found my groove. I had a awesome hike. I confided in my tainer about my head. Fighting the addiction, fear i willnot reach my goal, and frusteration that I couldnt break a sweat. She gave me some great advice. Asurred me I woullllld find my sweat and 4 weeks here I will leave different! Well she was right, the next class I had was called Moutain. You get on a machine and every two minutes you work harder, either faster or more inclined... and lets just say i found my sweat! LOL and when I did I almost cried. Then I had kickboxing to which i beat the crap out of a punching bag and let out some aggression! LOL then pool.... sweeeeet poool was actually hot this day!!! It was a blast!
So here is Thursday. I am going to put some pics on face book beacause I can only add so many to the blog.
But God is good, and merciful. My mom and dad and sisters are doing amazing on holding down the fort for us at home. I talk to them every single day, and everything is great there. I am so thankful for that! The smoking thing. everyday thats a little better. My mind is clearing it feels great and I am learning alot about my body and emotions. Some is just common sense, but some is new info to me, and it is eye opening. Well it is time to start this day! See ya soon!
