Thursday, November 10th

So, I am sitting here, excited about a shower and another massage this evening.  Today was a great day, but the hike was mediocre at best.  I love the more challenging hikes that give you a sense of accomplishment!  This morning started out with a chocolate protein shake, then on to Body Balance, its a killer almost 500 calories burned in that class alone.  Then it was our hike, lunch of bean soup and fruit, off to the gym for the rest of the afternoon, crossfit class, spinning, and water aerobics.  Great afternoon, feeling wonderful, but I am hungry!  Tonight is tuna melt which sounds delicious right now.  Hoping to hear dinner's ready soon.  Cannot believe that our week here is almost over.  This week we have truly enjoyed our new friends from Texas and California.  Jen has been here for 3 1/2 weeks and has lost 18 pounds, pretty amazing.  I truly enjoy getting to meet others, and getting to know them from this type of experience.  This brings people closer.  I hope Elyse isn't getting tired of being stuck with me.  I have enjoyed the one on one time and truly appreciate the amazing young woman that she is.  She truly is something special and I thank God every day for her.  Hopefully I will get to have a similar experience with Ash.  Miss you all!
