Day two ....more lectures!

My second day here is drawing to a close .... it's been a busy day - another early start (8 am with the nurse) and then back to back lectures / classes until 3:00 pm ...Before coming, I had not really given much thought to why it was called "Structure House" - and after all the lectures - I now have more clarity - and have to say - it's the structure that I struggle with most -My inner child wants to rebel - and challenge everything - but they've been around for 30 + years ...so have been suppressing the urge. (so far so good :-))

Everyone keeps telling us that this first week is intense from an educational standpoint - and that we'll have more free time next week. Although ...after meeting with the fitness instructor this afternoon - I'm not sure how much free time I will actually have - there were a few tonight that were inviting everyone to a ping pong competition - I passed as I am tired!

Tomorrow is another full day - rather than back to back sit down lectures - it looks like I'll be in back to back fitness classes. I have a stretch & flex class at 9:10 a.m followed by a Nia (creative movement / dance class) at 10 a.m. - Intro to weight training at 1:10 and Pilates on a ball class at 6:30 PM .... It's all a little intimidating, especially as I'm feeling a bit stiff from the Free Weights class I did yesterday.

I am adjusting to the food - at meals it seems like a lot - but then am finding that it's not long before I start feeling hungry again ...as snacking is not an option - I try to keep busy - so did some time on the treadmill and the stepper - like machine. I figure that it will be at least a week or so before this feeling subsides. So for now - I remind myself of my goal - and that it is still early days.

Thanks all for your words of support and encouragement :-)

Much love,

Norma
