6:00 am Yoga Flow
This was a yoga class similar to the yoga we had on Tuesday. It's nice to try yoga but I don't think it's something I'll seek out once I'm home.
7:15 am Breakfast / Updates
I took this to go - ezekial bread, peanut butter, half banana - we had pineapple today!
Alex and I met one-on-one about Wellness. A private consultation was part of my package. We talked about The Circle of Balance and using my strengths to help my weaknesses. It made sense and I could see how it could fit into my life for fitness, health and other areas.
8:00 am Outdoor Activity - redo assessment
we went back to Spring Creek park and re-did the assessment. I don't have my numbers of how many more I did, but I improved in all of the land exercises - planks, wall sits, situps, push ups, burpees (off the bench). The big achievement of this assessment was the loop. I was able to jog 5 times on my first lap and 2 times on my second lap (for longer distances). And I shaved off 3 full minutes from my total time. here are some pics from my run - with commentary
This is Art Normal. He is with us this week and does reporting for the local NBC channel. His wife Terri is also with us this week. It's been fun talking with them about our strategies and this blog.
the open road
I am A-OK!
it was a beautiful sunny day today.
the picnic shelter where we met before our assessment.
Just Kidding - hey there's a bench I didn't sit on.
there are more fallen leaves today than Monday - or maybe it's cause the ground was still wet from a recent rain on Monday.
one of the few times I stopped - to take a picture.
10:30 am Become Your Own PT / Plan Your Workout
This was our time to discuss our specific workout plan going forward. On Monday I do this, Tuesday I do this, etc. She asked us each to share with the rest of the group.
11:30 am Lunch
This was a red pepper soup - a hearty soup with some good thickness; and a california turkey wrap. Both were excellent.
12:30 pm Planning Strategies
This was our wrap up nutrition lecture, basically re-confirming everything we had learned in our previous nutrition lessons.
1:45 pm C3
3 minute bursts of time focusing on either Speed work, Resistance work, or Core exercises on the mats. I used the treadmill and then the bike. I was able to jog some on the treadmill and on the bike I was able to get up to 80 RPM and maintain it.
3:00 pm Kettlebell
We did this outside on the tennis courts. Teel and I paired together for this. It was in place kettlebell exercises - kettle pop, figure 8s, bicep kettlebell curls, and lawnmower arms; with movement by the partner - go to the first cone and do 10 squats, run back; go to the 2nd cone and do 10 squats and run back. run to the 3rd cone, do 10 squats and come back - changing the squats to another exercise on each full run.
That's Teel & Becca
4:15 pm Zumba
I am not a fan of zumba. I have walked out of zumba classes before. But I knew this was not an option at BLR so I stuck it out. I did simple steps, tried to just keep moving and enjoyed the music. we did the Cupid Shuffle and a country song "Wagon wheel" at the end of class.
We were done at 5 and I didn't know what to do with myself. Class was over for the day and dinner wasn't until 6. I went upstairs and turned on the TV. I heard applause and looked outside my window down to the lobby. There's a wedding going on!
I saw the bride thru the window as I was getting on the elevator but not long enough to get a picture.
6:00 pm Dinner
Salmon - should have had some more seasoning. It was good, but a little bland. The dessert was something rasberry crunch. There was some blob of white moussy stuff on a swirl of raspberry sauce. It was good.
Here are some selfies I took with the trainers:
