Week 3 recap

Wow. Well, last week was difficult for me. I started the week off with my knee really acting up, and chose to opt out of the hikes this week. Which is scary, beacuse that is where we burn the most of our calories, usually the whole day's worth of food. But I did manage one day to actually beat my calorie burn in the gym! So, 3 weeks in, I am down a  total of 18 lbs and 15.5 inches in my "trunk" area. I plan to kick it up a level or two next week, hopefully my knee won't have other plans. This week we lost Tamme, which has made today a sad day for me. I know it's hard to think it, but in such a short amount of time you become very close with the people you meet here. Next week I will lose everyone else that hasn't already left from our group. I'm a little worried about that. I'm sure I'll find someone. My new "roommate" (we share a bathroom), is wearing on me a bit. She doesn't seem to participate in nearly anything, just sleeps all day. Stays up late at night which ends up waking me up... grr. I have to keep telling myself "I can only control my own actions. This is my journey, I can't compare to anyone else." But it's still hard. I'm not being very nice about it, but that's about all that I can be.
So. Plans for next week.
1.) Get enough rest. This is mandatory for me.
2.) PUSH IT! I need to bring my A game all the time
3.) Stay positive. I can do anything I put my mind to
4.) Focus on me. Don't let outside factors interfere with my work
5.) Make all the hikes!!!


Not that you all have endless time on your hands, but my friend Lyndee keeps a very detailed blog, including menu and stuff, if you are interested, it totally ROCKS!:

Her story is amazing. So is her drive, and willingness to help people around her. I can't say enough times how lucky I am to have these friends that I have here. I would not have made it this far without them.
Love you all!
