Day Four - Lake Austin Spa Resort

I'm afraid it will be another lazy day.  It is forecast to be over 100 degrees.

• 7:00  Breakfast - spinach and feta omelet, ham, gluten free toast
• 8:00  Stability Ball
• 8:30  Gentle Stretch
• 9:00  Strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe (breakfast dessert!)
• 11:00  Water aerobics
• 12:30 Lunch - probably the best cobb salad I have ever eaten.  Instead of the usual turkey it was beef tenderloin cut in bite-size pieces.  Ample avocado, crisp bacon, and blue cheese topped a nice mix of greens and scallions.  A perfectly cooked hard boiled egg on the right and several yellow and red cherry tomatoes on the left made for a picture perfect presentation.  Chocolate caramel turtle frozen yogurt for dessert.
• 2:00 Cooking demo - tabbouleh but instead of couscous or quinoa, the chef used finely chopped celeriac and red cabbage.  A tasty gluten free version after also adding chopped apples, radishes, grapes and hazelnuts.
• 3:00 Hard core abs.  I really miss my trainer.  He has found lots of core exercises for me that don't stress my lower back or make my neck cramp (crunches); or hurt my shoulders (side planks).  Unfortunately that was pretty much the whole class today!
• 4:45 Current temperature 102!
• 6:30  Dinner:  starter special similar to quiche but a little creamier with bacon, onion and cheese; chicken special with an absolutely divine sauce with capers, chicken grilled to perfection, fingerling potatoes, green beans (one of my favorites); dessert of orange, rhubarb, strawberry clafoutis.
• 8:00 "Sweet Dreams" facial.
