Overall today was better than yesterday. It was closer to what I remembered of the days here. I think Monday was just a shock since it was the first day and the returning guests had no lectures. It was a better balance today.
I started the morning attempting yoga. Breakfast was good, as always. I had ezekial toast, peanut butter, half a banana and half a fruit cup of pineapple. We went to a state park 30 min away. My workout was modified cause I'm slow when I walk. But in total I got in 1 mile of walking (outside), 100 ball slams, 40 high knees while holding the ball overhead. and I got to the fifth level of a pyramid workout which was like the Partridge in a Pear Tree song but adding a different workout with each level after doing the previous levels each time. Betty (one of the trainers) and Tara (one of the guests) were challenged and completed an obstacle course that had been left out by other people. It was thought to be for pet training, but they were up for it. It was funny to watch. We went to a basketball court and had fun with chalk.
When we got back to the resort Dani, winner of season 14 Biggest Loser, was there to greet us! It was such a surprise! She took pics with a bunch of us, sat in on the Stress Management workshop and thru part of lunch. Lunch wasn't great. It was a pita with salad-y stuff and ground turkey. the turkey didn't have any flavor and it was crumbly/dry so it was weird. And the soup had too many chickpeas.
We did the Circle of Balance discussion after lunch. This is when it got interesting. We split up into our teams again (White Sox v Cubs). I was white sox so we went to Dumbell Power. Matt led it with Sue helping with form. It was a tough class! Then we had a brief break and went to Spin. Spin was taught by Jerry and assisted by Estella. Jerry's the at-home winner from Season 7. They have a regular visit habit with the resort so I had chatted, worked out, and attended lectures with them before. It was nice seeing them and the spin class was great! I went on the Octane which is like a mix between a spin bike and an elliptical machine.
We had a demo of Thai Stretch with one of the ladies from the Spa. It looked neat.
We got to get in the pool again (or go to Core & Roll). Guess which I did?! That's right, the pool!!! It was a fun workout - traveling exercises and wall exercises. My favorite was the jumping at the wall, but I had to take my glasses off for it and keep my eyes closed.
Quick Change followed by dinner. Dinner was delicious. It was like spaghetti with veggies but the spaghetti was made out of zucchini. The dessert was pineapple & strawberry kabob with some sort of raspberry puree and coconut topping.
I saw some friends this evening. Tomorrow should be a nice day. Hopefully less humid!
