Let's do some real cardio!

I have the two best workout buddies in the whole world. Ok besides Jessy and my husband. I love being outside, so the gym just does NOT inspire me like it does my single friends who may be oogling all the cute guys. Course most guys in the gym are not noticing because they are so focused on themselves. Then when you do meet a nice guy, like the one on Tuesday who gave us some pointers on using the ab leg lift equipment....he is way too young....or Pat says, "Maybe not..."

So this morning instead of heading to the gym, we decided to meet at Concourse Park at the border of Lake Forest and Trabucco Canyon and take a hike. Let's get our hearts pumping, burn some fat and use our leg muscles. We could still talk but I didn't feel as guilty as when we talk at the gym and could be "fake" working out. We hiked 2.3 miles total out and back along Concourse road into Whiting Ranch. At the turnaround point we had a great view overlooking the foothill ranch area including the Oakley building.

I saw a cottontail rabbit and a domesticated golden retriever. But, we did talk about the cougars, coyotes and rattle snakes that do inhabit the area which I guess doesn't count as "sighting" wildlife.

By 7 a.m. we had an hour's workout in. This was definitely worth doing again. Maybe we can get Roy to hold camp there one morning?

We had our post assessment with Sam this afternoon. 3 inches overall loss and down 5 pounds. Definitely headed in the right direction.
