Rest day!!

Sunday is a day of rest and well needed.
Started the day with a weigh-in - I did decide to go ahead and do it. I was surprise, lost 8 pounds. Now, I know that I probably lost at least 4 pounds of water weight because I was really swollen from the flight when I weighed in last Sunday - major water retention!!! My knees and calves were like water balloons. I am prepared for my weight loss not to be as much next week. But it was very nice to see the scales down.
The next few hours were bittersweet - great breakfast of omelet bar, but then we had to say goodbye to guests that were leaving. It was a good group this past week and we all really supported each other so it was sad to see then go.
I am already missing Allison, Charlotte and Nicole!!! Thank goodness Cameron, Darryl, and Vicki are still here!
We did have a yoga/stretch class at 11am on the beach. It was really a stretch class with some basic yoga moves (see "warrior"photo below). That was great - little too warm by the end but good. The first part of afternoon was spent by the pool and then four of us drove into Santa Monica to go to REI. Saw the Santa Monica pier - making a trip there later. Back in time for dinner and to meet the new guests this week.
Last week there were 35 guests - 13 of those are now "stay over" guests. 17 new guests came in this week and most are one weekers.
As a stay over guest, my schedule will change somewhat this week. I only have two lectures that I have to attend. Last week I attended a lecture after every lunch and every dinner. So, this week, after lunch I am required to attend "open gym" for an hour before the first group fitness class. I can either have a personal training session during this time, which cost extra, or they do have a trainer there to lead some kind of class - different every day.
Since my workouts are basically the same, this week I will talk about the food, which is really good, for the next few days!
