Wed July 20, 2016  One Day At A Time

For the first time last night, I woke up in the night and had touble getting to sleep.  This didn't seem to slow me down today thank goodness.  My day started off hopping on the scale and I was thrilled to see that it was down 2.5 lbs from Saturday - so that is on track to lose 5 lbs this week.   So that is a total of just over 16 lbs!  Hopefully I can lose 10 more before I go home - may be a goal a bit too high, but the number really doesn't matter

By the end of the week, this will be the amount of weight that I am not carrying around anymore. I picked this up and walked around the gym in amazement! Such a surreal feeling.  Daily life activities will keep getting better and better!

Morning Hike - We went into Central Park - our hiking guide does a lot of eduation which is fun, but we got very frustrated stopping constantly.  We had 3 guides so it would have been nice to have been able to go the pace we should have been.  The last half of the hike got better and it turned out to be a great hike. 

fun and challenging staircases to climb up with steep drop offs - I am trying to do them all without stopping now.

not feeling a lot thinner, but the pictures are showing a new trimmer physique!

just lazing around.... LOL

BREAKFAST

BIKE RIDE - I did my easy loop again 17.6 km with 145 m incline.  I pushed myself up 1 last hill ( one that was not on the route) but knew it would be good for me so I pushed through! Yeah me!

MT. FUJI CARDIO - I did this on the treadmill. Choose a baseline and increase every 3 minutes, do this 12 times.  I chose incline as I did not want to run - so I kept an even pace of 3.8mph while I raised the incline.  Burned 500 calories in 40 minutes!  Increase intensity makes the workouts shorter! 

LUNCH

30 min on Exercise Bike

30 min on Exercise Bike ( no this is not a typo, it happened 2x)

WEIGHT CIRCUIT - 1 min on each machine

KICKBOXING WITH SHARON

POOL CLASS - too many people so I stayed in the deep end.

Another Great day!  Tomorrow will be challenging climbing SADDLE starts straight up!  Treading Class and I am going to take a sac breakfast and go Kayaking after hiking.  I wanted to do it, but I didn't want to miss a hike to do it.  So the 2nd group option is great, glad they put that in this week with so many people!
