I started this morning off with Yogalates. It was my first ever attempt at this beast they call pilates. I have tried the video and usually turn it off after about 5 minutes. Unfortunately you cant turn of the class. It was challenging although I discovered I can balance on my butt with my legs straight up, while grasping my feet with my outstretched hands! Kind of like a giant V! By was I proud, lol, cant wait to demo that one when I get home!

Breakfast was the most amazing PB&J panini. It had sliced strawberries, bananas and almond butter toasted on a sandwich thin...mmmm





Today was the stop sign hike. I psyched myself up for busting ass because my ankle felt great. I had shotgun start and went as fast as I could. I ended up beating my time by about 5 minutes. My new time was 1:08:15! Yay! Unfortunately the way down was different story. I guess it was the downward angle but my Achilles seized back up. The pain became excruciating, worse than its been. I ended up having to walk part way down in my socks :(




After the hike we had a stretch class which was good because my ankle hurt so much. I iced it while I worked out. It felt much better afterwards.

Lunch was an amazing turkey sandwich with tortilla soup..mmmmm





After lunch I had Step N Pump class, we did about 200 squats literally, at the same time as we did bicep curls, shoulder presses, triceps skull crushers etc.. BRUTAL After that I had pool which normally I don't like, but this time we had Nicole, who is an amazing instructor, shes built like Jillian Michael's and she kicks our asses. It actually felt like a workout this time. After pool was Circuit training. I burned 600 calories in that class because I gave 'er on the cardio portions, I was dripping with sweat!

Dinner was chicken and polenta and asparagus. Id never had polenta before it was YUMMY! Dessert was unbelievable. It was chocolate and vanilla tofu pudding topped with fruit. Never in a MILLION years did I ever think tofu would make a good pudding but it was unbelievable!



I had acupuncture tonight for my Achilles. I strained the other one today on the stop sign hike along with my knee. It seemed to help. She taped up my knee and both hells for support and it feels much better.

Off to prepare for bed! I am seeing pretty drastic results. I choose not to weigh in but I can see really big changes! Yay! You can see it if you look at this stop sign pic and back at my other stop sign pic on day 1!
