After the Hike - Day 1

All I can say is WOW!!!  The scenery is beautiful and the food is good too!  I have met some amazing people that I know I will keep in touch with.  I have a class in 20 minutes, so this post is going to be short.  Oh...I ate asparagus last night:)  It will take some getting used to!  Anyway, here are some pics of the morning.
Our menu for Day 1

Breakfast...after I had already taken a bite! :)

The start of the hike.

Some of the scenery...you can tell it is a winery.


You can really tell here...about it being a winery.

Awesome people!

Sarah Nitta & her husband Jason.  Sarah was on Season 11 of The Biggest Loser.

Day 1 - Fitness Ridge

Well it is 5:40 here this morning and I am getting ready to go to "Intro to Circuit class then breakfast at 7:00.  Yes....I have already cried (alot) last night and I am sure it will come again today several times.  I questioned me being here last night again....because I am worried about what some people think not agreeing with me being here and it is making me feel guilty.  I don't want this feeling to ruin my experience....

Anyway, dinner last night was great.  I ate asparagus....it will take some getting use to....The pollenta was GREAT as well as the chicken.  We had orientation last night and I was in bed at 8:00 (10:00 in AL).  Here is a pic of dinner last night after I had already taken a bite because I forgot.
