Hello! I am writing you this post from a very very windy North shore! The waves are crashing and we had to cancel the hike this afternoon because of all the rain. No worries, they had other ways to keep us busy:) The morning started with our usual walk and pool workout. Then we went to the ballroom and enjoyed (yeah right!) our leg circuits which include many lunges and squats. It is still very tough and both Camille and I are counting down the "leg" days. After legs we had a core workout which included our favorite exercise - planks! Camille was even fortunate enough to have Kelly sit on her for awhile:) Then the real fun began. Leif set up cones for relays and we proceeded to run (yes, run!) suicides. Since we were doing SO well, he also decided to add crunches, burpies, and jumping jacks at each cone. Our workout area is all carpet so there are occasionally times when people will trip. Guess who tripped today? Camille! I must say when she fell she remembered her volleyball days and tucked and rolled. It was a perfect 10! We were kicking some serious butt and running much faster than we ever had before. I am sure the hotel was wondering what was happening because we kept cheering for our teams at the top of our lungs. All in all it was a very successful day. The afternoon was not as eventful because of the rain we had to spend the time doing our cardio at the gym. We survived and thrived today!
The days are not getting easier and we thought we would send a little challenge to all our family and friends. Not only do we want you all to eat healthier and exercise more but we would love to have some letters of encouragement. Camille has received two cards (from the same wonderful person!) and they are the highlight when they arrive. So we are putting our address just in case any of you would like to send some notes of encouragement our way. We would love it and it might make the tough days just a little brighter! No pressure but I know at least our mom's will read this and send us one;) Thanks for being on our journey. Your prayers are felt and we are very blessed to be here every day.
Until tomorrow,
Nikky and Camille
