Week 2 - Day 10

11:15 am

So, today, I did NOT want to get out of bed. I contemplated skipping the hike and sleeping in. But, then I realized I burn a ton more calories on the hike. So, I'd rather hike and then nap. Breakfast was hot cereal which I heard was TERRIBLE. So, I went for the cereal. Once again, really good! I just love the cereal. Today, It had dry strawberries in it and my heart did a lil leap inside! Man I love strawberries. I have to tell you about this strange girl. She's older than me, probably 28-30 and she says "tragic" all the time. It's very strange. Last night at dinner, they ran out of green tabasco sauce. and she says, "uggghh, that's SO tragic!" She's from louisville, ky so I was talking about the farm show. She mentioned that the Derby is also really fun. Then she said, "yeah, it's a party for a month straight! When the month is over, it's so tragic" I'm like, what the hell is up with the world TRAGIC!!! Then, this morning on the way back from the hike in the van, they were talking about massages. She says, "massages are NOT splurges. They're a necessity. I mean, to not have a massage after all this hiking is just tragic!" ohmigodd I'm about to freak out! This girl is just crazy! So I just thought I would share that!!!

It's time for either pool or core strength. (Gosh, I'm an idiot. I could not figure out how to spell strength. I had to look it up like an idiot!) Anyways, I'm frozen to the bone cold and can't decide. I just want to lay in bed. I think I have officially hit "THE WALL". I'm in a pissy mood! I do NOT want to exercise!

8:45 pm

"THE WALL" is the day where you are really tired and just feel like you have no energy. Well, I never really had that until today. Man, today was a bad day. After I wrote the first part, I went to Core Strength and it was alright. It was kind of hard but an effective class. It taught you how to correct your incorrect posture and walk. It also teaches you how to hold in your core muscles to stay more balanced and strong in your mid section. Yeah, it was a bitch. Then, I was pissed because I passed up on the pool and everyone told me how great it was. So that made me even more mad.

I went to lunch and by this point, I can barely stay awake. I'm so tired and I feel like shit. I have a long john shirt, a tee shirt, and a sweatshirt on and I'm freezing and CAN NOT get warm. I'm absolutely miserable. Not to mention this afternoon is my least favorite class. So, lunch was this soup that was not great. It was called parsnip. I don't even know what parsnip is. I ate about half of it. Then, we had pizza. It was good but nothing is tasting good. So, after lunch, one of the trainers Robin and I walked to the park to play tennis. That was really really fun!!! I LOVED IT! I'm going to try to get someone to do that with me every day. AND, you burn a shit ton of calories. I burned 350 in just 20 minutes of playing. My heartrate avg for that 20 min was high enough to be considered anaerobic and not just in the fat burning zone so I was very happy! After I got back from the park, I took a nap and skipped a class. Yeah, I know.. it was terrible but I felt soooo tired and bad. Well, I tried to nap but never got asleep. I woke back up at 3:30 and went to circuit training. After circuit training was the gentle stretch. I skipped it and went to take a shower. You don't burn any calories in that class, it just helps loosen and stretch the muscles from the day. I wanted to take a shower and get clean because we planned a game night tonight and I wanted to be clean for that.

So I went to dinner. Dinner was called Cafe Salad. Basically they lay a tortilla or burrito shell in a bowl then pile lettuce, rice, beans, and chicken in it and put a dressing on it. It was actually pretty good. You guys would die.. I'm actually eating lettuce all the time. I'm not loving it but it's growing on me. I was so excited just to have CHICKEN!!! It was real chucks of big chicken!!! I thought it was Thanksgiving! haha anyways, after dinner we played outburst which was really fun. I made Chris promise to hang out with me this weekend since everyone is leaving me for Vegas. I got home at about 8:45 and i'm exhausted. I can't wait to go to bed. I certainly hope I feel better tomorrow because this sucks. I'm dragging ass... If I don't feel any better tomorrow, or have more energy, I dunno what I'm going to do. I can't possibly need more sleep. I'm asleep every night by 9:30 and don't get up until 6:30. That's 9 hours!!! What is wrong with me??? UGH!

Anyway, I'm starting to really like this place and feel really comfortable here. So, lets hope this shitty feeling goes away. OH yeah, tomorrow it's supposed to SNOW again... Ugh if it does, I swear, I'm NOT getting out of bed! I'm definitely NOT hiking in the snow, sleet and rain again!!!

OH, I also forgot to mention, I got my first care package!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks my grovesie!!!! Everyone "oohed and ahhed" over the card!!!! It made me feel special =)

Ok, bye guys!! Sorry this was such a bitchy blog. Hopefully I'm over it tomorrow!!!
