Day One at the Fitness Camp

Here in sunny California, it is a bit chilly, but beautiful all the same.  I landed in the late morning in San Diego International Airport to embark on my first fitness camp (also known as, fat camp) experience.  We are staying at the lovely five-star La Costa Resort and Spa, overlooking a vast golf course.  This will also be the place that we will be playing sport games, pulling 20 pound weights a mile uphill, dancing zumba, and getting fit with boot camp.

This week is jam-packed with a variety of workouts, chef-prepared meals all day (properly portioned) and a group of hopefully like-minded individuals, all with the same goal: to shed some fat, look and feel better.

This evening for dinner we had a salad starter, mashed cauliflower potatoes, steamed string beans, mixed squash vegetables, and a small piece of filet mignon (size of your palm).  I was pretty full afterwards.  I just have to rush to bed before I get hungry again.

I'm both excited and nervous about what is to come.  We start tomorrow morning at 5:30am.

I'm proud of myself for even making this attempt.  I hope I can get the jump start I need and be sustainable after I leave this place.  I hope I can be faithful to this blog, I will invite a couple of people to read so I know I have an engaged audience that might be waiting for the next post.

Here's to good health!
