Day Nine - Tuesday

Today was ehhhh. It's still raining like crazy with insane lightning and some flooding. It's making me a little depressed! Or maybe I feel depressed because it makes us have to spend more time in the gym!! Hope the rest of the week is nicer. Oh, the temperature also dropped by about 40 degrees. Whereas it was 100+ last week, this week it is in the 60s at most so far. Boo. Anywho, here's how today went (sorry, my only pics are of food cuz there was nothing else to take pics of!):

Woke up at 5:30am, hit the gym at 6am (cardio). Breakfast and then the hike. PS breakfast was delicious - the english muffin was so tasty and we got almond butter to spread on top. Due to the horrible weather, they had to change our hike. We got this lame hike on pavement that was full of GIANT hills and valleys. We walked about 7 miles and I got blisters on my feet because I wore my hiking boots (scared to get my gym shoes wet, but it didn't even rain on us!). It was pretty difficult. When we came back, our group had pool class. It was FA-REE-ZING! The pool is heated but your shoulders, head, etc are always out of the water so it is cold. And when I say heated, that doesn't mean warm. But the rain held out on us for this class. All afternoon pool classes were canceled (including our afternoon class). After pool, we had lunch. The soup was ehhh and the pita was delish.

Then we had our 3 afternoon classes - a cardio class that kicks your butt, a "total toning" class that works everything with weights, a weight bar and a stepper, and a circuit class that was added because pool was canceled (yay). I ended up walking out of the toning class. I couldn't do a lot of the moves due to my knees hurting. Then I ended up getting really frustrated with the instructor because unlike the other trainers, she didn't make me feel like it was OK to do a modification or not do something. I started getting really down and frustrated so I walked out and went into the gym and did the treadmill. Oh well. Other than dinner, that was pretty much it for us today. For those who are interested, I did wear my calorie-counting watch and chest strap today to see how many calories we actually burn. Looks like I burned about 4000 calories between 5:30am and 5:30pm. So maybe 5000 or so for an entire day. :)
