Today was a good day and I really did not have too many comments other than I went to a good counseling session with a Life coach/counselor here. Her name is Essara (I may need to verify that spelling) and she is great. We talked about methods for me to distract myself when feeling the urge to bing. I am hoping to come away from my experience here with tools that are more mental than physical. The workouts seem to be what many focus on, but I have worked out a ton before and know I can handle that side. It is having the mental abilities to get past my fat and salt addictions at home I need the most help with. She did a great job helping me on that journey and if you end up being a guest here in Malibu I highly recommend attending her class and at least getting one counseling session in.
One other real fun thing I got to do today was play kickball. It is amazing what a fun activity like that does for you when the rest of your activities you are just in survival mode. Sam was the pitcher for both teams and my team won. There were a TON of people playing. It looked like two rival 5th grade classes were going at it.
Statistics:
I walked 22,995 steps and 12.3 miles and burned 5,500 calories via my fitbit http://www.fitbit.com/user/22B
Watch calories burned: 3531calories
Hike and Exercise:
The hike was once again the beach for me. I really did not get much out of the hike except a ton of sand in my shoes. I actually sweat the least I have on any hike since I have been here. I think I have moved past this hike as far as a big calorie burner. It was still a gorgeous hike, but the winds were gusting at about 40 miles an hour and occasionally I would get a nice sand blasting.
As far as exercise went I skipped the optional morning core class since Cameron is brutal and I need to have my full usage of muscles for the hike. After the hike I had a pool class which was a decent burn. My classes after lunch were kickboxing, mountain and another water class. The kickboxing class was taught by Ursula, who is an actual boxer. She was great and I got a good workout and some good knowledge from the class. Mountain was tough as usual, 12 increases, each being 3 minutes long on the treadmill... fun fun.
Food:
I did a bad job at taking pictures today because I have already taken a ton of beach pictures, so why do more and I forgot my camera for breakfast, and at lunch I was behind and had to hurry because of my counseling session. I did get a shot of the waldorf salad for dinner. It was really good. For breakfast we had a peanut butter and jelly panini with fruit, I opted for eggs and toast instead. It just did not look like enough food to get me through the hike. Lunch was really good even though I had it to go. Tortilla soup was the beginning of lunch and it was amazing. One of my favorites, and up there with the tomato and french onion soups. The meal was hawaiian pizza and that was really great. Little pieces of toasted bread with pineapple, chicken and cheese and a few other things. I added hot sauce because that is how I roll, but I really liked it. Dinner was the waldorf salad and chocolate strawberries!!! Those are the best dessert hands down.
Pictures: (only one!)
