TBLR #2 Day 2&3

I really love this place!!

Monday: The first day of scheduled activity!
The girls got a treat today, cause Mike (resident Commando) took off his shirt to put on a different shirt that was given to him as a gift by one of the guests. (Sorry, I dont have a pic)

I did 2xGreen Bush walk this morning. It took me 58 mins and I burnt 444cal

I then had the privilege of spending an hour with Mike in his 'Commando Pit'. We did an hour of interval training. I LOVE this sort of training, you work hard for a short amount of time, and then rest for equal time.  This style of activity is just like what u do every Monday and Friday night at my gym (minus the sand). The sand was the only thing I didnt like about the pit.
We then went up to the Top Pool for a water activity. In the two activities I burnt 686 calories

I had an easy afternoon as I had a low during the pool activity.

I'm just gonna take each day at a time

Tuesday: I went on my lovely morning walk and burnt 251 calories (I only did 1xGreen walk as my sugars were playing up)
Here are a few pictures

We had a wonderful breakfast of omelet and diced fruit

We then did our morning exercises which started with the Chalet Shuffle, and concluded with deep water running. During those 2 sessions I burnt 594 calories.

Lunch was rice with chick peas in it, with a side of an amazing salad (I know I've just said how much I like a salad)

I then did yoga in the afternoon, I burnt 297 calories. I was shocked to see that I burnt more calories in an hour of Yoga than I did in 35mins of walking in the bush.

We finished off the day with a yummy dinner with spring rolls, with nutty vegetables.

I cant wait for tomorrow!

TBLR #2 Day 1

So we finally arrived at the retreat.
I was pleasently suprised to see some changes, like the amazing signage around the place

It was lovely to see Andrew, Duncan, Emma and Sariff again. Lots of hugs :-)

The group is quite big this time - setting TBLR record for most guests 44 :-)

I went on the green walk this arvo, which made me feel like I was home (well, second home). Then I had a little swim to cool down before my body scan.

Dinner was AMAZING (as usual).

Sheriff spoke tonight. The thing that stuck with me the most from his talk was: "There are no losers in this world, just people who give up". And another part that stuck with me was 'you dont have to do it all in one go without stopping, it doesnt matter how long it takes you, just get it done' (paraphrased)

There are some lovely people here from a range of ages and sizes. I'm going to enjoy spending the next two weeks here with them.

Daily step count (excluding the pool): 15400

We can do this, we just need to take one step at a time!!
