I’m getting pretty homesick. I can’t believe I originally planned to stay here for 4 consecutive weeks. I would never have been able to do it. It’s to the point that I’m thinking about coming home on Saturday instead of Sunday. All the exercise is over for the week by noon on Saturday so I could stay for lunch, then pack and leave. I’m going to look into changing my flight tomorrow. If it works out, then I’ll be able to see the Super Bowl at home this Sunday. I missed the last 2 playoff games because I was traveling to Utah all that day.
I also changed my plans for the second 2 weeks. I was supposed to come back March 28th through April 11th, but both mine and Danny’s birthdays are during that first week. So I gave up that week. Now I’ll be back from April 4th through April 11th, then back one more time in October. I’m thinking that one week at a time will be best for me. And, by October I’ll be able to do some of the more advanced hikes.
Today I did the stop sign hike again. I think I’ll do the same one all week. I actually kind of like it. As for the rest of my classes, well my schedule was pretty much the same as last Tuesday, except I took 2 pool classes today because my knee was bothering me again.
The food was good. I had tomato soup today for lunch. I had never had tomato soup before. It was pretty good. And, they gave us enchiladas for dinner. Those were really good. The weird thing was that they served it in a bowl. I couldn’t figure out why they would do that, then it dawned on me, they put it in a bowl to cover up the small portion size. I could have eaten twice what I was served, but with all the water that I drank, I’m feeling full now. There are pictures of tonight’s dinner and dessert below.
Today’s schedule:
7:00AM Breakfast (fruit, yogurt and granola parfait)
8:00AM Hike
11:15AM Yoga stretch
12:45PM Lunch (tomato soup and turkey sandwich)
2:30PM Cardio intervals
3:30PM Pool
4:30PM Pool
5:45PM Dinner (Enchiladas and chocolate sorbet for dessert)
Yummy, but small portion of enchiladas
Yummy chocolate sorbet

Hang in there, I will see you in April. And speaking of missing the hubby and dogs, I especially will miss my dogs becuz they will not understand where I am. At least I can talk to my husband on the phone and skype. I am sure it is going to be tough being gone that long. Thanks for blogging!!
