Wow I’ve made through Wednesday and I am beginning to adjust and feel human. This place has had it’s share of problems but we and they are hanging in there. Of course you all know they had the record heat last week…Well this week it has been cool and rainy and then to top it off we had record rain which caused all kinds of problems. We had the cable TV go out, power failures and even my wireless go down and to top it off we all had rivers right outside our rooms from all the rain. But the staff has been wonderful and it is clearing up now and we are all just laughing it off. Today they asked if any of us wanted to hike and of course myself and 13 others said YES !!! So off we went to a place called Winding Way. The trail was so muddy we had to find rocks and tree branches to wipe our feet so the mud didn’t weigh us down too much. We crossed four creeks and the guides were great helping us jump from rock to rock. It was a great adventure and I am so glad I went instead of two and a half hours in the gym and aerobic room. I survived the rest of the classes, Kickboxing, mountain, circuit and core and have not felt hungry since I got here. It is fun and a great challenge. I have a few pictures to share of the hike and of course our menu for the day. I don’t feel thinner yet , but I sure feel stronger. Oh Jillian was here again and the Season 11 contestants for Biggest Loser were working out in the pool and walking on the resort. We haven’t been in any filming yet and I’m not disappointed. I’m off to dinner soon so will upload the pictures and take off……
