Week 1 Day 3 Wednesday

Wednesday's are known for being rough... and mine was rough!!! :( Im tired, sore, walking like a hobbit, and was a little down in the dumps. Breakfast was a "panini" but this is not the panini you are imagining. (I dont think that is spelled right. Im trying to say imagine-ing) Anyways, it was a sandwich thin with almond butter on one side, jelly on the other side and bananas and strawberries in the middle. Freaking A-MAZ-ING!!!! I LOVED it!!! I will definitely make that at home!!!! The hike was Lower Gila. It was hard!!! I was dying!! My feet HATED me... My blisters hurt soooooo bad. By the end of hike, I was spent. I was tired and could barely walk because of my feet! :( I got home and my blisters have doubled in size and added a new one that is bigger than the other 2. It wasn't pure hell, but it definitely sucked. I did burn about 1450 calories which is pretty awesome. I had a new hike guide trail behind with me and he was a little different. But a nice guy I guess. After the hike, JT and Paige were outside sitting on the ledge thing so I sat out there with them for awhile. That was pretty fun. We would greet all the guests and talk to the guides as they got out of the vans.

After that was an option of circuit, stretch, or pool. My poor feet hurt so bad there was no way I was doing circuit. I opted for stretch. Lunch was greek pizza so I had a boca burger which is always good! I LOOOVE those things! After lunch was open gym time which means TENNIS!!! I was sooo excited! I went with Robin the trainer and this other guy named Mark. Man, Mark can play! He was hitting the ball so hard it was scaring me! haha but it was really really fun!!! After that was kickboxing!!! My most favorite class here!! I did back to back kickboxing which rocked! I was dying. Literally the sweat was dripping off me. That is such a nice feeling! I almost skipped the last class. It was soo cold today and the water was cold in the pool. BUT, I went to my room, ate my hard boiled egg, and headed back to the pool. It was a good class and I really enjoyed it!

After that, I showered and headed to dinner. It was a salmon patty so I opted for the boca burger again. Once again, awesome! Pam, an older lady that was here when I was here for 6 weeks, showed up randomly so we talked to her for a while. She was soo sweet! After dinner, I headed to the gift shop to buy some new shoes. I just cant take it anymore. I am in so much pain and I know with the Brooks, I wont have any blisters. So, we will see how it goes tomorrow. Overall, I had a good day.

Here are just some other stuff thats going on:

- My face is sunburnt! Im red as can be! Tomorrow Im going to start wearing sunscreen.
- Max Morelli, whose brother and dad were on the biggest loser, is here. I met him last July. Im pretty sure I told everyone about it. Anyway, he has his dad Ron with him. Ron was the brown team. Thats pretty cool but he's not very talkative!
- My blisters are so bad I think Im going to pop them. They tell you not to but Im not sure what to do.
- I'm having a tiny issue with the "poor-me's". I'm not having a great time. Im having a good time, dont get me wrong. But, mentally, I just wasnt prepared. I dont know.... Im not homesick or anything. If I was here alone, I would probably be crying! But, I think Im mentally ready but my body just hurts soooo bad. I could literally cry! :( So, tonight, Im snuggled up with my blankie and moping! :( Im already wanting to skip classes. That is a terrible terrible thought. And Im sure you people back home are thinking "why would you skip, you paid all this money so you should do everything" but you just dont have a clue.... Anyway, say a prayer for me because I need it! Hopefully tomorrow I wont be as sore and my feet will start to feel better!

Bye friends!! Love and miss you all!
