Okay ... today was the exciting day. I'm here at Fitness Ridge! I got here around noon along with several other ladies. We got our room assignments and I unpacked. Went back up to meet the other ladies that arrived with me and we all sat and got to know one another while eating an apple. We didn't get lunch only dinner at 5:30 (Sundays for the new arrivals don't get lunch). We got a tour of the facility and our booklets to help us during our stay. After dinner, we had our orientation where we got to meet everyone. There are 64 people here ... the largest class they've ever had here at FR! And, one of them ... wait for it ... wait for it ... yup, Tara Costa from the Green Team from the Biggest Loser! I'm excited to see her here! Yeah! And, my roommate is from Tampa Florida which makes me feel good too. She is retired military and has 3 kids. Everything is all good so far. But, our day starts at 6:00 am with a mandatory circuit workout followed by a 7:00 breakfast ... then an 8:00 MANDATORY hike! It's 4.5 miles up (1000 feet elevation) and 4.5 miles down. Fun! More tomorrow!
Thanks for posting tonight! So happy to hear you are off to a great start. Can't wait to hear how the hike goes.
ReplyDeleteI am SO excited you are blogging about your stay!! Please keep us up to date daily of what to expect. I'm scared! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO MUCH for keeping us up to date with your blog. So I take it I need to pack a little something for lunch being that I arrive at the ranch at 12:30? I don't think an apple is going to cut it for me. hah!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read your next post and how you survived "the hike".
Oh, let us know what the weather is like. Will long pants be enough for the hike or do I need to find a pair of long-johns to wear underneath?
ReplyDeleteRobin ... I had eatten a large breakfast so was good with the apple. I wore long johns under my pants this morning as it was cold! I ended up taking off my gloves and my long sleeve t-shirt along the hike. I hope this helps! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us updated! Good luck with everything.
