Day 10...Much better day:)

Okay it's me (Camille) again.  Before I tell you about our day today I have to tell you the best part of yesterday.  On our hike we did a little off-roading and we were walking down this steep path when I stepped onto a rock and lost my footing.  I went to grab something and there wasn't anything there.  Jenn (who was in front of me) screamed and I started falling.  It was a pretty good drop off and I could have ended up in lake Superior where, according to Jenn, I could have gasped to death.  That is what she says can happen if your body hits cold water and you can't catch your breath.  Thank goodness for a friendly tree who broke my fall and scratched my arm up pretty good in the process.  I got back up as soon as I could and started walking.  Sunshine, aka Kelly, asked if I was okay and I had to keep walking and say that I was fine because I didn't want to look like it hurt.  But I will tell you all...it did!  I have the scratches to prove it in the picture above.  They look much worse in real life (am I getting any sympathy yet:).

OK, now on to Day 10.  I woke up with a  much better attitude today.  Being grumpy is just too much work so I decided I am done being grumpy.  We started off with a two hour pool workout.  We even got to use pool dumbbells. Boy are they fun!! It is hard keeping them underwater to do the exercises, but it adds a whole new element to our pool workouts.  Then we had our circuit training today for 2 hours.  They cut it a little short because of the exhausting day we had yesterday.  It was still pretty tough.  I think at this point my muscles are so tired that anything is a little difficult.  It was a good circuit though.  In the afternoon it was cold, wet and raining so we drove over to Hermantown and did a kickboxing class.  Oh boy, that is a workout!! It was a good change of pace though.  Tomorrow the forecast calls for more rain so rumor is we are going to do a spin class and something called TMX.  Not sure what that is all going to be like, but I think that not knowing at this point might be better than knowing. 

We had our favorite dinner tonight: Turkey loin sauteed on the stove with veggies and then our cauliflower mashed potatoes. Those are the cauliflower that tastes better than mashed potatoes.  All is well here and we are one more day closer to meeting our goals.  We are also one day closer to Sunday when we have scheduled our end of the week reward for ourselves...massages!!! We are so excited.  Just a little something to look forward to at the end of another week.  We will have to think of another reward for the next Sunday...any suggestions?

Well, thanks again for all of your support, words of encouragement and prayers.  They are definitely helping get us through this.  We are so blessed to have you as family and friends and we know that with your support we can accomplish anything.  YOU ARE ALL THE BEST!!

Love,
Camille and Nikky
