Day 3

Well, my friends, i just wanted totell you thank you for commenting!!! i looooove reading them and im happy to know you guys are actually reading this!!!! :) so my day today was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!! i did something bad and did a slow intermediate hike, but let me explain. they started this new thing where only 12 people can go on a hike and you have to sign up the day before. well, i decided that i wasn't going to do fast intermediate because it was too hard. so i was going to do moderate. well, i went to sign up for moderate and it was full. and the fast intermediate hike was going to be too hard. so i was stuck going with intro to intermediate. but, im not going to lie, Deb was one of the guides and the hike was Slots! It was sooooo fun because for once, I got to enjoy it and wasn't literally dying!!!!! Dad, that was the hike we did but going about 1/2 as fast. And I got to hang out with Deb!! I forgot to wear my heart rate strap that goes under my boobs so I couldnt do the calories which SUCKS!!! I was dying, I felt so naked. So I actually was energized for the day because I wasnt so exhausted. I didnt take a nap all day!! I went and played tennis with my roomie, Babs, this other guest named Wanda and Robin, an instructor. it was soooo fun. they were really good and we got a good workout. Oh, breakfast sucked. It was mueslix (hot weird oatmeal) so I got the cereal BUT THEY CHANGED IT!!!! i only ate like half of it. i was pissed. so after breakfast is when I played tennis. after tennis, i stretched. im being so lazy!! i havent gotten in the pool once and its because i'll have to work harder in pool than in stretch class. pathetic, i know.. but im hurting and my body is TIRED. anyway, after stretch i hung out side and talked to ppl then went to lunch. lunch was pizza and i normally like it but not today. they had red and yellow bell peppers and onions and chives on it with cheese. it took me literally 15 min to pick it off then i just couldn't choke it down. i ate about half of it. after that, i came back to my room and layed down, but didnt sleep. The other day Sharon told me to do 2 kickboxings so i did. I did that at 2:30 and 3:30 and it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is my favorite class ever!!!! It was so fun!! I shared a bag the 2nd class with Julia and that was pretty fun too because the bag doesnt bounce around much when your hitting them which is awesome!! i lovvvvvved it. I burned 550 both times. oh yeah, tennis i burned 550 too! so after kickboxing, i did stretch again and hit the showers before dinner. dinner was cafe saladwhich is lettuce, rice, beans, chicken strips, mixed in the dressing and put in a tortilla. i ate the chicken and lettuce and it was pretty good!!!! then i hit the bedroom!!! im exhausted. its 8 here and im surprised im still up. im heading to bed as soon as i get this typed. so here are some funny things.

When i was here last time, I found out and A&Bs trip to Nashville and was upset. So I told Deb all about it on a hike venting and cussing like there is no tomorrow. Well, while venting I said, "ya know, id understand if he picked her over me because shes skinnier and prettier, but hell no! shes way fatter than me!!!" haha well I guess Deb thought was hilarious and told all her friends about it and they still talk about that story!! and Deb has told them all kinds of stories about the shit i say on hikes! hahah which makes me laugh

We did this one hike towards the end of my stay called Volcano. Well, I still have nightmares about that hike!!! It was the absolute worst hike I ever went on. During the hike, Deb and I got lost, it took 30 min longer than normal, i got stuck/stung by a cactus, fell at the end, and shed some tears more than once and literally did not think I was going to make it out alive. And I am not exaggerating. I think i took the afternoon off after that hike, it was that bad!!!! Well, I guess Deb had another guest out there that was even worse than me. Had NO business being out there.. should of been doing slow or moderate intermediate, NOT fast. anyway, when Deb and her finally finished, Paige asked her how it went. And Deb replies, "Well, remember Volcano with Betsey, like that only worse. She wasn't nice about it!! hahaha Deb told me that story today. it was funny. I guess they all still talk about me.

The other day Cody reminded me about when we called them drunk from Vegas. He said, I still remember you guys being crazy!

I made friends with this girl from Russia named Julia. She told me that in Russia, people dont smile out on the streets. If you smile, it means your being goofy or making fun of someone else. They only smile in their houses with their family or friends. Well, when she first got to FR, she NEVER smiled and thought it was crazy that everyone walked around here smiling. It took her 3 weeks and a steak from Ken to finally get her to smile!! Crazy huh??

Thats all I can think of for now. Im in very good spirits. I had a great day today. Its so weird because yesterday, i was thinking, thank god im going home. and today was so good i wished i could stay. but overall, im loving it!!! I talked to Paige today and told her that I was mad at her because she doesn't hike anymore, teach any classes or take people to the park for open gym! I was sad. theyre getting so big that all my fav ppl have taken management roles and dont teach much. which sucks but i understand!! well, thats about it.. looking forward to tomorrow! its treading with Sharon!!! Never had her for that class so im soooooo excited!!! im going to run the whole thing I hope!!!! BYE FRIENDS!!!
