Desert Cliffs Day Four

After a bowl of yummy oatmeal, Day four of my Desert Cliff's week found me at the Summit Gym for a morning class of body sculpting and cardio.

I've heard from many clients that there is one day, usually in the middle of the week, where you're 'feelin' it'.  It's typically the day that you are most sore and feeling a little sluggish.  That was me on day 4.  This is the day when I really needed my meals for refueling and energy and I felt it.

Lunch was an amazing wrap of hummus and veggie goodness.  My mouth is still watering thinking about it.  Plus, the bag of extra veggies helped to fill me up.  We also had a small bag of some seriously good trail mix with nut and dried fruits....like cherries and apricots.  Those little snacks sure come in handy around 3:30 in the afternoon.  One of the things I really enjoy when I'm feeling a little hungry, is a cup of herb tea. Not only is it yummy but it's more satisfying than a glass of water by itself.

I'm beginning to be a little nervous that I won't lose much weight.  I have religiously followed the food plan and have not cheated but I'm not able to take all the classes offered to our clients.  I'm not on vacation!  I haven't weighed myself yet to see how I'm doing because I want to be surprised. I know our client has been losing a ton of weight, but he's working so hard too.

Dinner tonight was my favorite so far.  We had the most delicious, 5 star restaurant quality, Orange Citrus Chicken.  Oh my.  The sauce...the spices...I can't quite describe it other than it seemed to be sinful. It was served with a generous side of brown rice with veggies and a huge salad with almonds, cranberries and diced apples.  And as if it couldn't get any better, we had warm berry cobbler with a smidgen of sugar-free vanilla ice cream!  I was a happy girl!

Day four and over the hump...Bring on Day 5!

Wouldn't it be fun to just be able to hire someone to cook this kind of stuff for you, full-time? I can't imagine it! (But I sure would like to...)

Oh my gosh Cheryl...how did I miss so many of your posts. I try to stay on top of these things.
I have not been doing well as of late it seems.

WOW..what a great PERFECT job indeed. Being a Hike Guide. I WOULD KILL to be able to do something like that.
Incredible.
(well, maybe KILL is a little strong)
I love hiking.
but do very little here as it is either too cold, too windy. scared of the bears and moose and cougars...........
I just want to HIKE in peace

This food program you are on also sounds wonderful.
I have been trying now since 2nd week of January to loose weight.only 9 lbs.
Booooo
I don't have a gym close to me. Would take 30 min. to get to it, ans sometimes (well in the winter) the icy roads don't allow it , not for me who is afraid of such things.

SO, I do exercise videos at home, and can I tell you I AM BORED OUT OF MY SKULL over them
I try and keep my calories to 1230....yeah, I know, I cheat to many times.
yada yada yada
I have at LEAST 13 lbs to go before SORT OF getting to my goal.
the FIRST goal.

You are very lucky my dear to live where you do and have all this beauty and opportunity for health and nature around you.
