Day 27 and 28

I am writing this post from the comfort of my couch in (drum roll please!).....Austin! Let me go back to Saturday and tell you what we did. The morning started with our official weigh out and measurements. Then we had pancakes, blueberries, and turkey sausage for breakfast. Can you believe it?! It was so good but not many of us could finish our plates. Then we loaded into a van and traveled to Duluth where we went to a Zumba class on the beach. I loved every minute! Camille was a little out of her element but you should have seen her wicked moves (wink, wink)!:) Then we went down to Canal Park and rented some bikes. These were not your normal bikes. They had four seats and sets of pedals, two in front and two in the back. They looked so easy but we soon found out they were much harder than they seemed. At one point we had to pull over because we were laughing so hard when a runner passed our bike. It was a great final celebration and we had a ton of fun. The afternoon was filled with packing and exit meetings. The grand finale included celebrating Sheryl's birthday by throwing her a little party. We also presented Leif and Kelly with some gifts. We even listed all our favorite Leif quotes from our time at Fitness North. We laughed a lot and it brought back many great memories. After the staff left we played a couple of hands of cards before going to bed (after dark!). The morning brought many goodbyes and even some tears. Camille and I could not believe that we were actually leaving. We made it! We had a wonderful drive to the cities with Kelly and talked a ton about our time at Fitness North. It was hard to say goodbye to everyone but we know that we are ready to continue this journey at home. I promise we will post our results when Camille comes back to Austin and we can share it together. They are quite amazing and we are so proud.

Hope you're sitting on pins and needles!

Day 26...IT"S FRIDAY!!!

I can't believe that today is day 26 and it is FRIDAY!!! It is our last unofficial workout day because tomorrow is fun day!!  We started off with a 2 hour pool workout.  Then we went back to the dreaded ballroom.  I know that I told you I had retired the ballroom, but they didn't ask my opinion...go figure.  So we started out with some core and then Leif had a surprise for us.  He has set up 10 cards of Tyson squats.  For those of you that don't know what a Tyson squat is here you go:  you go up to the first card and squat down to pick it up, then you go to the next card and squat down and put the first card down and then squat down to pick them back up again one at a time.  In other words 10 cards = 100 squats.  He asked for five volunteers and Nikky, Tara, Allyson, Camille and myself volunteered.  We all did it and then the rest of the group did it as well.  I had been mentally preparing for this day so I tried 15 cards and I did it!! That is 225 squats for those of you that wanted to know.  Then Devil Boy (Leif) made us run up and down the stairs 5 times.  Is he CRAZY!! I couldn't even feel my legs.  Then we continued to do core training and then step aerobics with the Bosu ball.  We had one more round of Bosu ball and I asked if I could do Tyson Squats instead, I hate that darn bosu ball.  So I ended up doing 10 more cards.  Which is another 100 squats!!  Do the math everyone, that is 325 squats for me today.  My legs will feel it in the morning.  Don't worry though we were not done yet.  Leif had some more torture up his sleeve for us.  He was preparing for Devil Boy Terrors (That is where you get in the plank position and have to push a 20lb kettle ball across the floor of the ball room).  He was pretty excited to make us do these. But we had a surprise for him...last week the winners of the Ultimate game in the pool were granted a VETO.  This meant we could veto one exercise we didn't want to do.  We decided to play our VETO card and not to the devil boy terrors.  I think Leif was disappointed he couldn't make us do them, but a  deal is a deal.  Instead we ran 5 suicides with a 20lb kettle ball in each hand.  Beats having to do Devil Boy Terrors.  Then we did 5 more suicides with no kettle bells and then WE RETIRED THE BALLROOM!!!  YEAH!!!

This afternoon we went to the gym for about 100 minutes.  We even had a little extra time to stimulate the economy of Two Harbors.  We did a little shopping at a few cute shops downtown.  After two we were pretty tired and had to go home and cook dinner.  We are now going to bed so we can get up at 6am for our final weigh in and measurements.  I can't wait to find out my results tomorrow.  Stay tuned on Sunday and we will post them for you.  Hopefully it stops raining so we can Zumba on the beach tomorrow.

God Bless,
Camille and Nikky
