Thurday July 21, 2016   Some days you just can give it your all.  That's OK!

We went on the hike to Saddle this am.   It was as difficult as I anticipated.  There was an initial 1120 ft climb to get to the top and then lots of tricky rock scrambling and hiking back through deep sand. It was a great workout.  When I got back, I was DEAD!  It took me 30 minutes to get up from the breakfast table after I was done. I was overheated, so I decided to go biking inside just easy. 

1 hr exercise bike - easy

Swimming - 750 m for 20 minutes

Lunch

Lecture about Divisions of Responsibilities - parent roles vs child roles when it comes to food - Ill write more about this later as i'm tired tonight.

Total Body Tabata

Treading - just couldn't give it my all. I still burned 560 calories in 45 minutes, but I did not do the class the way it was intended and that is OK.  I SHOWED UP. Most people would not have, they would have chose a nap, or visited.  So sometimes it's ok just to be ok. 

Pool Class- did my own thing in deep end.  New teacher, I spent 15 min with her after class and showed her about 50 moves that she could use in her routine to help the participants get fit in the pool and have fun and get some VARIETY.  I really dislike the pool classes, but love the pool!

80 min Hot Stone Massage - it turned into a deep tissue, but that's great.  Had an awesome therapist named Reese.  He was AMAZING. He is a student in physical therapy and going for his phd.  He helped me a lot. Found tight spots I didn't know I had.  So I rebooked with him next Thursday too to loosen things up before I head back on my long drive.

My spirit was a bit down today. I was feeling very defeated on that mountain. It was SO HARD!  Packing this extra weight up steep mountains. I started in the front and finished 5 / 10 so I did ok , but I have been SUPERWOMAN in this program, feeling awesome and suddenly there is a big slap in the face!  Maybe I needed that to keep pushing forward? 

Off to Las VEgas Tomorrow night for a mini vacation and shopping trip, i'll be back sunday afternoon to start my LAST week here already!  WOW!
