Day 12 = A Long But Great Day!

I burned less calories today because I woke up exhausted and burned out. I decided to skip the optional 6am class.

Calories burned:3487 Calories consumed: 1088 for a difference of 2399

As I said, I skipped the morning class. I went to breakfast and had a pineapple parfait.. It was OK, it looks better than it tastes.lol



Lianne, Tammy and I decided to do the hike called "slots" The scenery was spectacular! There were a lot of steep inclines and declines, but it was well worth it. There were 2 slots you get to go into. They are very narrow and very deep. The second one we went into was called "birth canal" It was really really narrow and we had to crawl feet first into a little cave hole thing to get further into the crevasse. even got to do some rock climbing moves to get up and down some of the steep parts. I enjoyed it so much I decided I might try rock climbing again some time! We decided we wanted a longer hike so we made it into a private one where you pay the guides to take you around. It worked out well because we got to miss our next class which I didn't feel like going to. I am getting tired of the gym because I have had to skip pool so I am in there more than usual.










Lunch was the most amazing Caesar salad! It only had 151 calories! t had croutons made form sandwich thins and chicken breasts... so freaking good! The soup was parsnip. Nice and warm and comforting..



After lunch we had our lecture for staying through another week. We had to say what we are proud of. I said that I am proud that I am pushing to continue to work out to the best of my ability along side my stupid ankles..lol I had circuit training 2 times and ended the day with Cardio Disco Jam. Its probably the funnest thing in the world! Ill have to demo my dance moves for all my friends back home when I return.AHahahah!

Dinner was a turkey burger..MMMMM Very tasty. Dessert was chocolate sorbet.




I am sitting here wrapping up my blog because I have a massage at 9 and Ill be going straight to bed. I Have the stop sign hike in the morning. :P lol I am very happy its the weekend because I came close to burning out today. Goodnight!

The hike through the birth canal sounds scary to me. I hope I get the nerve when I'm there to try some of the more adventurous hikes. Congrats on all your hard work this week! Rest up today and prepare for another amazing week. Stay strong!
