The coolest, most randomness opportunity happened a couple days ago. I got the chance to come to the new Malibu Fitness Resort called Wellfit for a week as part of a focus group. I could not believe I had this opportunity!! Love you Janet and Tami!! I immediately found out if I could go and still have a job because it is absolutely unheard of for a teacher to take this much time off, but honestly I would take a leave of absence if I could live at one of these fitness resorts. These places offer such a great break from the day to day and give you the time to spend 100% focus on yourself, which we ALL need from time to time. I can't believe I am here. In 2013, I came here weighing 418 lbs and left two months later weighing around 360 lbs. I left with a smaller number on the scale but I gained so much more than just a smaller number. I could stand erect for more than a couple hours, I could hike, I learned about emotional eating and nutrition, I felt muscles underneath my fat, I became more confident, I learned how to socialize again, I met a community of people that I will be life-long friends with. I only wish I had joined Facebook sooner because some of them I lost contact with. Stay tuned as I write about my incredible experience this week!! I have a two hour hike in the morning plus an additional 3-4 hours of more fitness classes! I am so pumped for this!!! There is just a bit of a hesitation because I have been doing so WELL back at home with Adam, Jake and Scott that I fear I might gain weight and lose muscle. I will do my weekly update this coming up Sunday and see what happens.
You are going to do great. You need to mix it up like this ... or your body gets used to what you're doing. I am so happy for you to be back!!
