Breaking the Camel's Back.

12:30PM: Holly got up and did an hour on the treadmill today, then went with Diane to do the bottom portion of the Stop sign after breakfast. Breakfast was French toast with fruit.

I went with the groups to Camel Back. Once again I was part of the slow group, but all three groups (slow, medium and fast) met up at the bowl at the top for the group shadow photos.





1:45PM: After the hike, was Aquacise. A small class today because some of the crazier guests decided to do a second hike to burn calories and went to do the Stop Sign. I don't think the 100 or so more calories burnt doing that hike over the water aerobics makes up for the whole body exercise and muscle relaxing effects of the water.

Lunch had a pretty good salad (not as good as the Greek salad, but still good) with some cheesy stuff, olives, nuts, etc. The soup was the most delicious soup yet. I think it was a roasted pepper soup, but no matter what it was, it was good. The main meal itself was a different story. A tostada, but the brand of tortilla they use has an off flavor, isn't fried or baked and is topped with some really nasty tasting beans. Tried to spice mine up, but couldn't make it edible. It doesn't help that they provide mild Pace brand salsa instead of good fresh salsa. Gave up on eating it after a couple of bites. We were sitting there discussing different options for going out to get a replacement meal (Arby's or Subway) when Jerry and Uma walked by with burgers! They had asked for something else since they were allergic to the beans. So the group of us flagged down one of the servers and they were more then glad to get us burgers instead. Holly didn't want one since she doesn't like Boca burgers. Yeah burgers! Amazing how little things like that make you happy. And kept us from running out to get something to eat elsewhere.



8:00PM: This afternoon we had Toning with Exercise Balls taught by Sharon. Excellent, hard and funner! After that was scheduled Hip hop and Tai Chi, but we went to Pioneer Park instead. Pioneer Park is a municipal park in St. George that is in the red rock bluffs overlooking the town. Beautiful scenery, and fun to hike and climb around in. Back to Fitness Ridge in time for dinner. Dinner was Boca burgers with steamed vegetables (I really like the Boca burgers but Holly thinks they are disgusting) and desert was a banana tofu pudding on Grape Nuts. Holly wasn't over fond of it, and neither were a lot of other people, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. After dinner I went down to soak in the hot tub and read, while Holly went to go play a board game with some of the other guests.


Goodnight.
