At first glance, I thought it looked great. The changeroom facilities appeared clean and modern. There were hairdryers available and although no swimming pool, they did have a sauna so you could relax your aching muscles after a workout.
Jocelyn and I did the Body Pump class. I've never done this class before. I usually do the Body Combat or Body Steps classes. This was great - you workout using weights to tone the muscles in your body and I really felt my muscles at work! I knew I was going to be really sore for days to come.
From the gym, I drove over to Lisa and Tom's place for dinner. We had planned to go out for dinner but Tom offered to cook dinner in for us. I'm glad we stayed at home for dinner - it was raining all night.
While waiting for dinner, I had brought some ingredients to make some 'healthy' berry shakes. Lisa blended them up - frozen berries, natural Greek style yoghurt, buttermilk and some cinnamon. We also added a bit of Bicardi! It tasted great! The buttermilk gave it a tang. It would have been nice to have some honey or perhaps vanilla ice cream but we thought we'd better not.
Each time we made a fresh round, we varied it slightly. Sometimes we put cinnamon, sometimes crushed cardomom. Sometimes we crushed ice blocks in, sometimes fresh mint leaves. Each time it was deliciously light and refreshing.
We also had a side of fresh cucumber salad with the basmati rice. I polished off my plate and agreed to have a bit more but Lisa sneakily poured the rest of the rice onto my plate - pretty much a whole full plate of rice! I actually managed to eat it all but had to roll out to my car a few hours later.
