David’s Last Day
Hi Gram,Today was our day to sleep in, but my internal clock still had me awake before 5am. Despite being wide awake, I refused to get out of bed before 7:30. When I got up, I started my new daily regiment of medicine that the doctor gave me yesterday. Between the vitamins and medicine I…

Being a Kid Again
Hi Gram,I’m still not feeling great today. I woke up with a brick in my belly again and no energy. I decided to skip the morning walk and get some rest. When I woke up a few hours later, I didn’t have much more energy, but I know that just lying in bed all day…

Belly Pain Intensifies
Hi Gram,The past few days have been more of the same – exercise all day, complain to each other about being sore and tired, enjoy the great meals that Valerie makes. Today, though, my belly was hurting like I had swallowed a brick and I felt weak, not just exhausted. I decided after lunch to…

Trick or Treat
Hi Gram,I had a tiring day today. When we got up and walked to the gym camp, it was barely drizzling. I don’t like being rained on, but I told myself “at least it will cool me down on my walk”. We got to the pavilion to wait for our classmates and it started pouring!…

Week 2 Begins

One Week Down
Hi gram,We made it through a week! I am so excited to have a day off tomorrow. This morning, we did a longer than usual walk. We walked over to a nice temple up on a hill overlooking the town. A mile of it was up a steep hill, probably a 4-5% grade, but that…

Days are Blending
Hi Gram,I’m tired. The days are starting to repeat each other. Today started with a 4 mile walk at a brisk pace. We got another amazing view from atop a hill that we climbed, then saw a makeshift pond with snails on the beach. Nobody was around, so we don’t know if a kid was…

Fitness Hurts
Hi Gram,I woke up sore and warm this morning. With no AC, it gets hot early but the fan in the room helps. We left a little early for our walk and did about 4 miles with plenty of hills and stairs. The rest of the day went much like the day before with workouts…

Today We Begin
Hi Gram,Today was the first day of our fitness camp and I’m exhausted! 😴 I woke up early for our morning run, but luckily everyone wanted to walk. It was a quick pace and we went up and down a lot of stairs and hills, but overall I enjoyed the experience. It’s a great group…
