Shooka Boot Camp - Day 5

It seems it is my turn; I wake with a painful chest, banging headache and a fever. Training today is not an option and I am gutted. A week ago I would have thought of any excuse to get out of a work out. Now I am trying to think of ways to drag myself into the gym but can barely drag myself downstairs to let the instructors know I am heading back to bed.

shooka schedule
I sleep, while the rest hit the gym.[/caption] I wake up mid afternoon to find a glass of freshly juiced fruits and vegetables by my bed, and head downstairs to find the group have finished early after a gruelling morning of Krav Maga, dumbbell overload circuits and boxing, lunch of broth and an afternoon walk. I am craving exercise and fresh air so head off for a short walk. The forecast is warning of snow on Friday and I can't risk being stranded here for the weekend so make arrangements to leave a day early. Others are getting twitchy but the general consensus is to carry on as planned tomorrow but perhaps leave at the end of the day rather than early on Friday. Everyone is keen to get in that one last day of training. [caption id="attachment_2617" align="aligncenter" width="300"]
Fake Bake

He is planning a luxury boot camp in the ski resort of Klosters, Switzerland, due to open later this Spring. We toast the successful week with half a glass of champagne and a delicious chocolate mousse. Not sure which I have missed the most. [caption id="attachment_2615" align="aligncenter" width="225"]

Great debates on Original, Golden or 1 Hour, but they all look a fantastic and very natural, even for mid January. The look is completed with a manicure using goodies sent to blogger ReallyRee to review - a lovely MaxFactor Glossfinity in cerise red. Only one more day. I am going to miss this place.
