So...on the first real day of the program, I chose to join one of the fitness instructors, Alicen, on a two mile guided walk and thought I was going to die. I remember climbing one of the small hills and thinking...OMG...I am not going to make it...or just pass out!! Alicen had no idea until about 1/2 way through..it was a silent misery...At one point we came to a small fork in the road. The left arrow pointed to the road and the right pointed to the loop, which I thought would lead us back to Structure House...I was praying we went right but no...the woman went LEFT!! Was she trying to kill me? Anyway, we finally made it back because Alicen took a shortcut and I swear I had tears because it was that painful for me...
Well, yesterday one of the people in my group decided he wanted to go on the walk...so I said..I am going to go and see if there has been any improvement in the two weeks I have been here...well..it was a small group of four people and I think I am the heaviest and certainly dont work out as much as the others...but..I took the LEAD!! YAY!! I set the pace, which was like power walking, and I remained in the lead the entire time... I was on a mission...I felt so proud of myself...
We decided to walk the trail every morning and I woke up early this morning and sure enough, we were on our way. This time I had to slow my pace because Chris and Sandy didnt want to go as fast...imagine that..me slowing my pace!
Anyways...thought this was cool!! Thanks for reading... take care!!
