2/2 - DAY THREE

7AM - Up early and off to the Beach.  The weather is very overcast and windy, so this should be fun!

9AM - Back and "De-Sanding" myself.  It was an experience and let's say the Sand has made it's way to all the areas you don't want it  :-)  Taking a short break then off to Kick Boxing Class with Doug.  This should be fun!!!  (1271 Calories Burned and 4522 Steps)

11:30AM - So Kickboxing was great!  It was tough, and I am really not sure how I got through it.  It was the "3 L's" as Doug calls us.  Liz, Louise and Me.  We are all newbies, but we hung in there.  When I left I felt like I had absolutely nothing else to give, I then realized I had Personal Training with Cheryl.  So 15 minutes and off I went.  She has been very interested in my ankles and dancer turnout, from the moment she first saw me.  We worked on balance today and about 30 minutes into it, Sugar plummeted, turned white, got clammy, so I took one of my insulin tablets (thanks mom) and all was better within 10 minutes.  I pushed through to the end.  Not sure how, but we made it.  THEN....

I went back to my room and had my first tearful meltdown.  I hurt so bad, I feel sick to my stomach, I can't eat, I miss my husband, I miss my dog, I miss my Metropolis family, I miss my NORMAL DAY.  Oh yeah, and Did I mention....  I HURT SO FREAKIN' BAD!!!!  I called Richie and he talked me through it.  It amazes me how much the human body can withstand.  What we are doing here is not normal, and you would think your body would just give out, but it doesn't.  Somehow, it just keeps going.  So I must do the same on the inside.  There is a reason I chose to come here, I knew it wasn't going to be easy, and I am being told, as the body gets used to it, the easier it becomes and the harder you can push it.  I will wait patiently for that time to come.

12PM:  Met with the Nutritionist, Gay.  She was amazing!!!

1:15PM:  Back down to Gym for 30 more minutes of Cardio.  This is it for me today.  Wednesday's here are literally "HUMP DAY".  We are all humped over and moving as fast as our sore bodies will move us, which is not so fast.

2PM:  Met with the Life Coach, Haleh.  She was amazing and I look forward to talking to her more.

3:30PM:  Headed to Pubix to pick up a few things.  There is NO salt, condiments, etc allowed, so I wanted to pick up some of the things we can use, LIKE....  Mrs. Dash, Rice Wine and Balsamic vinegar, and I got some of the naturally sweetened Crystal Light, so I could change up the water thing throughout the day.

4:30PM:  Took my first Epsom Salt Bath along with 4 Advil, put on my 'night nights" and prepped dinner, which was awesome!  Haven't really had an appetite so it was nice that I could eat a meal. 

7:00PM - We were told the importance of eating all of our food each day, so I was able to eat my missed lunch for today.  Nice Ceasar Salad with Grilled Salmon.  Then I laid my tires sore a$$ down.  Got to talk to Richie again, which made me smile :-)  I can't believe how much I miss him.

7:30PM:  Laying down for the night.  More to come tomorrow.....  God I hope I can get out of the bed.
