I haven't written in the blog for the last couple of days due to staying after dinner for a lecture series from Emily the nutritionist. I had these classes the 1st week I arrived, but I wanted a refresher. This week has been amazing. We have had quite a few people from previous "Biggest Loser" seasons here because St. George is having the Ironman on May 1st and there is a fitness festival that they are involved with. I have enjoyed all my classes this week although the pool was a little cold the last couple of days due to the weather being pretty cold. On Friday I met with Jon one of the trainers here and he helped me put together a free weight training plan that I can do at home. All the trainers here have been amazing and so inspirational. The experience I have had at Biggest Loser Fitness Ridge will be life changing for me. I have made some lifelong friends and I'm looking forward to continuing this journey along with them.
My last day was Saturday May 1st and due to the Ironman being held we are not able to hike because the Snow canyon roads are closed. There was a fitness festival being held at the Ivins park that included a 5 and 10K so, everyone that wanted to could registered to do the 10K. I did the 10K with Ivyy, Maria, and Jennifer(some great friends I have made here). I couldn't believe that I was actually going to do it. We started a 6:30 in the morning and finished approximately 8:45am. We walked the whole thing and it was such an incredible feeling to walk over the finish line. I met up with my parents at the finish line and when I gave them a hug I completely fell apart. I think it is because of the rush you get when you complete something that you thought was impossible for you to do.
The support I have had during this past month has been incredible. I couldn't have done this without everyone's love and support. So I would like to say "THANK YOU" to everyone. I love you all and I will continue this journey at home.

My results for the month: lost 22 pounds and 21 inches.
Thanks Fitness Ridge..

Dear Robbie,
ReplyDeleteIt's been an incredible month - listening to you about your day every evening when you came home. I looked forward to it every day. For someone who hated hiking, you are now a HIKER ! I'm so excited for you and what you accomplished. I know you can continue on making this your year and completing the goals you have set for yourself. You looked so pretty when we dropped you off at the airport today. Your Dad and I hated to say good bye. Stay on the trail. I love you so very much
