Day Three

When I started this blog I thought how the heck am I gonna figure out what to write. Would I be to tired? I said that I would not discuss what they made us do but today was AMAZING. I am going to tell you what I did because I am proud of what I did.

We started out at 7:30 for "Beach Fun". Let me tell you about the fun I had. There was an obstacle course that had 5 stations:

Station 1: 20 pound kettle weight that we had to do hip/flexion/swinging squats x 20
Station 2: 32 pound sand bag where we had to do walking squats for 10 feet
Station 3: 35 pound kettle weight tied to a 30 pound rope. We had to pull the weight in the sand 15 feet
Station 4: 50 pound kettle weight attached to a harness that we had to drag up and back 15 feet.
Station 6: 10 pound medicine ball we had to trow it as far as we could 10 times and then bring it back

While we were doing all that we had to squeeze in 100 crunches,squats, push ups

Then at 9:15 we went on a bike ride. Mind you I have bot been on a bike in 20 years. I was put on a Trek bike with "balloon" beach tires to ride on the rode with needless to say not an easy task. I made the full 12 miles and only had to walk up the two "hills" on the way back.

I had an additional 1 1/2 of cardio as well as an hour of upper body work.

I SURVIVED YEAH ME

I also met with the nutritionist and the counselor. Over all it was a great day for me.

Thanks for all my friends supporting me.
