Thanksgiving at the BLR

Today is Thursday and at the BLR, it is not a day about eating and football. It is just like any other Thursday - hike in the am followed by stretch or pool (I did stretch), i then did a personal training session followed by lunch. After lunch I had Treading Cardio and then Ball works followed by another cardio class.

Dinner was 6 oz grilled turkey steak, chipotle sweet potato purée with rosemary lemon gravy, broccoli and their version of pumpkin pie (some kind of tofu stuff with pumpkin) - all for 463 calories total. The meal was pretty good but next year I'm having a real thanksgiving dinner!!!

In case you want to know how to do Treading:

5 minute warm up at base line
5 minutes as hard and fast as you can go
5 minutes at base line
4 minutes as hard and fast as you can go
4 minutes at base line
3 minutes as hard and fast
3 minutes base line
2 minutes as hard and fast
2 minutes base line
1 minute sprint - hard and fast
1 minute base line
1 minute sprint again
Cool down

Treading is my favorite cardio class that I have done here - its hard, but u do have that break in between. For some reason we only do this class once at week here.

Ball works is a class with stability balls and each week I have had a different trainer leading the class and therefore the class itself has been different. It is probably my 2nd least favorite class.

2 days left - well, 2 workout days - not flying back to NC until Monday. I am ready to come home. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Happy thanksgiving!!!
