Day 2

This morning we woke up to be measured at 6:30 AM. Weight, body fat, body mass index, and different measurements of our body were taken. All this will be very important on the last day when we see how much we have changed. We had a great breakfast of fruit including blackberries, strawberries, cantaloupe, melon and blueberries and a big bowl of oatmeal. This nutritious breakfast was very important for the following hours. Then we were taken after breakfast to the mountain we would be climbing, The Third Rivine. Hiking up was not as easy as I thought. It consisted of scaling over rocks and hoisting up to the next level. Hiking took a lot of work. After about 80 minutes we reached the top. The view was well worth the climb. Then it was all downhill from there. It was not as hard, but still not easy. It took quite a toll on my knees. Finally back to the car we changed quickly and hopped in the pool for water aerobics. Although I did not feel much in the water, as soon as we were done after 45 minutes my entire body ached. We returned home for lunch, a huge salad of every vegetable imaginable, almost to pretty to eat. After lunch I napped for an hour to rest and prepare for the afternoon. We were back at the gym doing a circuit by 2:00 PM. The circuit consisted of arm and abdominal machines. We did a round of 45 seconds at each machine, about ten repititions at each stop. Next, a round of atleast 8 reps as hard as possible. Last, a round just like the first. My arms were exhausted by the end. We were then shuttled to "Tower Run." It is a very steep hill that you must walk or run as fast as possible to the top. It is about one mile each way. I completed the incline within 15 minutes and the decline under 15 minutes. I never thought I was going to reach the top. I have never even seen a hill this steep. Now back at the house we prepare for dinner, spaghetti. The daily caloric intake is 1200 on the dot with 300, 400 and 500 calories for breakfast, lunch and dinner, respectively. I worked off about 1800 calories today. I am very excited to see my loss at the end of the week. Now time to rest and get ready for a long day of working out tomorrow.
