Day 3 is Complete!

 Today was hump day... I can't believe I've survived 3 days!  It's hell... but you know what... I like it!  The trainers are awesome!  They know just when you need that pick me up to get you through the last set or last laps...

Breakfast rocked this morning.. Turkey sausage and egg sandwich with fruit.  The perfect thing before a hike!

Before I went on the Zuma Beach hike, I took time to talk with the Hiking director.  I was still a bit nervous about the group I was put in.  TJ was wicked cool and I got to talk over my fears/thoughts.  She totally got where I was coming from.  The way we ended it, I went down to group three, but she said, "She'll kick my ass until I get into group 4 next week."  She's giving me these next 3 hikes with an easier group.  But the funny part is, we went to the same exact place as group 4!

The Zuma beach hike was sooo beautiful!  We loved every minute of it!  The cool part is, Amy is in group three.  We got to talk and just enjoy the hike!  Loved it!  Here are some great pictures from it!

Here's the group of us - Frankie, Kim, Amy & I  hiking buddies!

At the end of the hike - Amy and I ran into the ocean... just to say... well... we were in the ocean!  It felt so amazing since we were hot and nasty and the water was FREEZING!

When we got back, it was time to get ready for the pool!  Today I had 3 separate pool classes.  It was AWESOME, but totally drained us for the day!  I've never been in the water for that long in years!  It was great, and again it felt awesome since it's sooo hot!  It's also a first that I've gone through two bottles of sunscreen in less than a week.  It's crazy.  Thank god Amy was going to Target tonight to grab some for me, otherwise I'd seriously be hurting!

The BEST part of today was the Kickboxing class lead by Camile.  She is truly HARD CORE!  She looks as if she doesn't have a single ounce of body fat on her and she's jacked!  I would not want to make her angry!  The class mostly focused on arms, so it was more boxing than anything else.  I loved every minute of it!  Michelle and I were partners right next to Rob and Josh.  We kept seeing "the gun show" while we worked!  It truly kept us laughing.  In fact, I think we laughed about it every class.  Michelle and I did our own show for the boys...  We had our guns blazing after that class.  I honestly don't know if I'll even be able to use my arms tomorrow, since it's seems like thats all that we worked on.

Dinner tonight was great too... I love salmon!  And the desert... it looks just like pineapple. But man... the sauce on the top - a raspberry reduction sauce just made it taste so very sweet!  We were in heaven.  The funny part about dinner...  We were all so tired that I could have put my face down the table and fallen asleep.  We actually didn't talk through much of dinner - which is strange because we truly are the rowdy group!

I ended the night with a massage.  All is right with the world now!  Completely relaxed and feeling great!  I even had to do laundry tonight despite the HUGE bag of clothes I brought.  We changing close to 3-4 times a day!  It's nasty, so I was already out of clothes!

Well here are the numbers for today.  the Body Bug registered - over 20,000 steps for 3,500 calories and then my heart rate monitor registered 2,026 for my calories burned during my 3 pool classes - so I'm looking at about 5,500 calories for today.  Not too bad!  Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!  Night all!
