Day 2...What have we signed up for??

Okay, so it was a little harder to get out of bed this morning at 5am..and I mean physically harder to get up.  Our muscles were definitely sore.  We had our protein shake by 5:30 am and were on the trail by 6pm.   We got (noticed I said got not had) to go on our morning walk.  It was hard, but we got through it.  Camille thought that a good goal would be to walk to the lighthouse by the 4 week she was here, little did she know they would make her go on Day 2.  Guess she will need a new goal:) The we came back to the pool for our morning workout...those flutter kicks are a killer.  They seemed so much easier when we were kids.  Then came breakfast.  We had oatmeal and an egg made to our liking (with no butter or fun stuff on it).  They do give us lots of great seasonings though and it is getting fun learning how to cook with those.  And vegetables are available at every meal which is good.  Then came circuit training/bosu/ab training for the next 2 1/2 hours.  It was a leg day and I don't think either us could feel our legs by the end.  We thought the Bosu balls were bad, but the wall sits topped that one today.  At  one point Camille thought she was going to die, but of course she didn't.  Then came lunch. We had tuna with veggies and some sweet mustard on a whole wheat flat bun...it was amazing! Of course at that  point I think I could have eaten my arm and been satisfied:) There was supposed to be a pretty bad storm coming so we didn't get to go on our hike, instead we went for an hour workout at a gym and then did relay races back in our workout room.  Yes, you heard me right..relay races!!! UGGG! They were pretty difficult but yet again we survived.  When we were done they gave us a bonus and let us walk the mile back to our rooms, aren't we lucky:) Finally we got to come back and make supper.  We had chicken tacos on a whole wheat tortilla.  We used ground chicken and added cumin and chili powder with some onions and then topped it with spinach, lettuce and tomatoes. We had carrots and celery on the side it was delicious:)
We just got done watching O'Neil's tape that NBC made for him documenting and  highlighting all of his success towards reaching his weight loss goals and gaining his life back.  It was AMAZING!! We are inspired to continue. We know that this journey won't be easier, but with a good mindset, some blood, sweat and probably some tears we will get through.  This is only the beginning for us.  We plan on taking back everything we learn here and truly changing our lives to be healthier...Anyone want to join us? :)

Until tomorrow,
Camille and Nikky
