It's been a while since I submitted a blog, but with 9 days left we're all dialing it in and marching towards that finish line(or scale, if you'd like to put it THAT way!).

I was in San Diego over the weekend and I'd like to give a big shout out to the Bally's in Mission Valley. I worked out there Friday and Saturday and the staff couldn't have been more gracious. Tell 'em you're in a contest and the waters open like Moses was standing next to you! Sunday and Monday the weather was so nice(80's....jealous?)I walked and worked out right along the ocean....then got on the plane yesterday with shorts on and frowned when the captain got on the intercom and declared that the temp was 5 degrees celsius(about 40 in conversion).

This has been a eye-opening experience and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone next week.
