Group Training/Those awful resistance bands/Easy Potato Soup

Today was my first group training session after work with Louis. I get off work at 5:30 so I was hustling to get down there in time. We worked our legs first with various exercises. We used the BOSU Balance Trainer and that was a first for me. Difficult starting out but then I caught my rythym and got the hang of it. We then worked the upper body. I thought I could get away from the resistance bands but I don't think that is going to happen with Louis:) I think he enjoys bringing them out!! I used a medicine ball for the first time which consisted of lunging and lifting. We finished with abs and lets just say my stomach was burning...
Let me provide an illustration for you:

For dinner tonight: I fixed it Sunday evening in the crock pot:)
Easy Potato Soup from 5 ingredients or less:
4-5 Yukon potatoes (Peeled and cubed)
1 can cream of celery
1 can cream of chicken
milk
7.6 oz Mashed potato flakes
After getting the potatoes ready place them in the crock pot with both cream of celery and cream of chicken. After adding fill one can with water and add to crock pot. Cook on high 2-3 hours until potatoes are tender. Then add 1 can of milk and 7.6 oz of mashed potato flakes. Add salt and pepper. Cook another 2-3 hours on low.
Wonderful soup!!
However: In the future I will not add 7.6 oz of the flakes. I will do less. These make the soup very thick so I will just add until I have the desired consistency. And if I have time next time I will probably cook 2-3 slices of bacon and add that as well.
