Day Five...

Hey All,
Today was a very good day. Got up ready to hit it. Did the Ultimate Circuit Class, went back up and down the Eiffel Tower, Did Water Resistance class, taught my new friends to play Wii, lunch was a chicken cesaer wrap w/ tomato soup. Another class was exercise physiology, I learned a lot in this class. Did another exercise class called Roll It Out. I will do this at home for sure, great stretching exercise. Had some therapy with some new friends/ very helpful to hear others stories. I can't tell you enough about this place, H3 is an amazing place. The program is so individualized. I have not mentioned they don't let us weigh until the day we leave. I can already tell I've lost weight. I feel better than I've felt in years! I am so blessed to have this opportunity, I can't even express the gratitude I have for my Parents and Jenna for supporting me on this journey. I love you all so much. Dinners on Friday nights are what they call Gourmet dinners. 4 courses, it was fantastic! Rack of lamb, couscous with field greens, wrapped zucchini with goat cheese and tira misu. They say you need one day of increased calories to boost your metabolism. It was a nice treat for sure. The I sat with my new friend France, from France. She reminds me of a mixture of my mom and my granny. I could just steal her away and bring her to Texas with me. SO Awesome. She and her daughter Cybella are here and have become quick friends I hope to know for the rest of my life. She has given me an open invitation to her house in the South of France, whenever I want. I hope to take her up on this one day. Cybella is coming to Houston for work in September, I hope we get to hang out together. She wants to see the Ranch in LG. It's good stuff here. I can't believe I have three more weeks here.
The changes that have already occurred are amazing.
Much Love,
Shanna
