I arrived yesterday to the UCSD campus in beautiful La Jolla (San Diego), California. Weather is beautiful here. I Checked in, got my room key and was escorted to my dorm style room to unpack, "relax", and get situated. Then meet for orientation and off to dinner!
I have two roommates, Lina and Ashley..awesome ladies, I am thankful they will be my house mates for the next 3 weeks.
Went to orientation, rah rah rah, go ladies...seemed sorta silly until the woman who runs the camp started talking and i felt like she was talking to me, directly to ME. I quickly realized i was in a room full of woman just like me. Many like myself "know" what we should be doing, but we choose to take care of our children, husbands, work, etc more than we take care of ourselves.
Fired up we're off to dinner....but to get to dinner, we must walk a mile to where it will be served. It was a nice walk and most of all the woman I have meet have been lovely. Dinner was good and plenty filling. We then walked a mile back home to our dorms.
If you haven't figured this out yet, a mile to and from each meal x 3 meals a day...6 miles a day just to eat. On top of that we pick daily activities. For this week i have Water Aerobics, Tennis, Rock Climbing, Kick Boxing, Strength Training and Kayaking on TOP of the 6 mile walk at day. OH wait, i can also get up at 6am everyday for the beach walk (which i did today, go me).
So its day 2, I'm tired and fired up at the same time. But for now, gotta go put on my swimsuit, time for water aerobics!
Chow!

Its Saturday night. i just had an amazing day with my family. Went to see High School Musical at the OC performing arts center, went to the Melting Pot (fondue place) for dinner. While at dinner my 5 year old son lost his first tooth.
Here's a peek into my life right now. Hubby has been with same company for 10 years, waiting on offer for new job! (update 6/28) Hubby accepted the job offer yesterday, Big Blue IBM/Cognos ....Congratulations Bryan!
He took 3 weeks off to hang out with my son over the summer. He's going to visit his parents and great grandparents on a road trip with my son, and will also check in with some high school buddies.
Me, I'm off to Camp La Jolla http://www.camplajolla.com/ to spent 3 weeks with woman over 30 from all over the country. 4 activities a day, 1200 calaries a day, nutrition classes and food trigger conversation. I'm FIRED up and nervous however, THRILLED to have this opportunity.
