Day 6 - Two more pictures..this is it...I promise :)

My knee from when I fell on the hike yesterday.

Myself, Sondra, John (trainer at Fitness Ridge), Poka, & Kay!


Day 5 - The Final Day

Today was nothing compared to the past 5.  I chose to go on a hike today:  Charmlee.  I wouldn't have chosen this hike if I knew I was going to see a snake less than a foot away from me!  When I got back from the hike, I had a pool class but I left early to take a shower.  I went to the Getty Center in L.A. with Kay, Poka, & Sondra!  It was beautiful!!  After we got back, it was dinner and then gradutation!  I can't wait to share the video they gave to us!  I will write more when I get home but here are some pictures from today.  I will weigh in tomorrow morning.  I will post as soon as I find out.






Here are some pictures of the hike today.  I have to say, I am going to miss them.

Day 5 - Jason & Sarah Nitta...and Disco Jam w/ John!

Sarah Nitta was on Season 11 of The Biggest Loser.  She has such a wonderful testimony! 


My favorite class by far has been Disco Jam with John!  Here are some pics of one of the best trainers here!


Day 5...the hike!

Here are the pics from today's hike.
The was the Tapia hike...the trail was Backbone...enough said.



The first of MANY hills!  This was way steeper than it looks.



The top of the picture (right above the mountains) is the Pacific Ocean.

This is a pic of the Fab 4:)  We made it to the top of the mountain.
from L to R:  Bess, Me, Teresa, & Abby (He is from Egypt and is here with his wife.)

I made it back to the Van!

Day 5

Today's hike was BRUTAL!  The hike went straight up with very few flat spots.  They say "what goes up, must come down".  That's true because on the way down the mountain...I fell!  Oh well...I survived and it wasn't the end of the world but the views on this hike...it looked like I could see the end of the world.  Here are some of the pics from today.  I will have to load a few at a time on several posts.

I forgot to take the picture with the eggs.

The vegetable soup

The vegetable soup after I added carrots and bean sprouts.

Lunch....I didn't eat the brussell sprouts.

Dinner...Salmon burger.  I already ate half of the burger.

Day 4...this should be it on pics.

Here are the rest of my pics from the day.
The gate at Julia Roberts' house.

Another view of her house.



I made it to the van.

The chicken soup at lunch.  I added alfalfa sprouts.

My turkey sandwich.  It had a lot of turkey on it.

The gym with all the equipment.

The gym where all other classes are held.

This isn't the best picture of me but I am with Sam from Season 9 of The Biggest Loser.  He is now a trainer at the resort.

My dinner.  The stuff on top with the ketchup is the insides of  a stuff pepper.  I didn't want the pepper.  It was groud turkey.

Another salad
