We arrived to Stone Creek Bed and Breakfast on Friday at 4pm. We were welcomed and picked our room. We met new friends and had a protein shake, some almonds, and veggies and hummus. Then we got busy!!!
All 12 of us ladies loaded up and headed to the "Y" for some serious pool time. Not laying out, but an hour of laps, squat jumps, and treading water. From the pool we went to an aerobics room for an arm-session, which last 15-20 minutes. I knew this would be our easiest workout of the weekend, so I welcomed it. :)
When we returned to the B&B, there was a big fruit and turkey salad waiting for us. It was full of pineapple, mango, mandarin oranges, apples, bananas, grapes, thick chunks of turkey and a dressing that was made from greek yogurt and orange juice. It was perfect for our after-workout snack!
Saturday consisted of 3 one-hour-20-minute workouts. We of course had breaks and plenty of protein shakes, turkey and potato casserole, black bean fiesta salad (SO GOOD!!!! I'll post the recipe later), almonds, veggies with hummus, turkey wraps, pita chips, and fruit. The workouts were crazy-good! I was so proud of myself for finishing and pushing myself so hard. I was SUPER proud of my mom!!! She worked so hard and did a great job! There were so many great things about the weekend, but one of my favorites was to see 12 women, who didn't know each other, encouraging one another and cheering each other on to victory.
Not only did we work on our physical bodies, but we also talked about mental and spiritual health as well. It was such an incredible weekend! It was life-changing for me! I might touch on some of it in later posts...however, I'm thankful that my mom and I were able to spend some time together. Below is a "before" picture...the "after" picture I took didn't look much different, except we were soaked in sweat, filthy and exhausted! hahaha! It was a great way to end the weekend!
What could have been a better Mother's Day than to spend time bettering who we are, committing to being healthy and doing it together!
