Thanks, Julie. At least the mess is pretty much cleared up.
Yes, the challenge starts tomorrow. Needless to say, I have eaten a lot of food today. Kind of in a storing up for the next 8 weeks mindset, as well as the fact that the first official weigh in, is tomorrow.
I have gotten a couple of emails with more detail and I was shocked at the foodplan. It is extremely do-able. Like simple. It actually looks like it is going to be more food than what I have been eating and with this being part of the "challenge", it will make it easier to follow it. Because if I don't, than I am out.
I have dreamed every single night that I have overslept on the first morning and then I was kicked out, LOL.
That won't happen, but it makes me giggle that I am dreaming about it.
6:00 a.m. sharp and it's on.

Yes, I can officially say that I am ready. Thanks for the confidence. I'll do fine.
I'll report back here in my log tomorrow morning. I did find the owner/trainer on some U Tube vids and the training looks quite awesome. Maybe he will be the best trainer ever, to make up for all the poo poo I have dealt with. Kind of like an angel trainer. :P

God knows you DESERVE the best trainer ever considering all the crap you've dealt with!! Good luck tomorrow.... don't oversleep!
"As far as (healthy) eating, either do it, or don't. Same issues repeated over and over is just insanity. We either commit to the endeavor or pay lip-service to it. This is the hardest part of the whole process, and it needs to be practiced more than the actual physical training. It's mind training." ~ Matt Thorne

Ginger, I won't be around much tomorrow--doctor duty with mom. But, I'll be thinking of you! You will be the star of the class!! I'll check in later in the afternoon for an update.

You guys are too awesome. Thanks for the well wishes. It went great! We are starting with 18 people. Keep that in mind, as I update. I am sure people will fall out, but I don't plan on being one of them.
I didn't oversleep and since I had never been there before, I wanted to clock how far it was from house. Official weigh in, pictures, the fitness test and 12 minutes of a workout. It doesn't sound like much, but it kicked my ass. Oh, and my giant weekend refeed did me well. I weighed in a couple of pounds higher than what I was. :P
Tabatas is what we did. It was seriously only 12 minutes and it was seriously a struggle at the end.
I am going to try to add the video. Bear with me, because I have never done this. Ok, I am not with it enough to figure out how to post the video, so you'll have to deal with the link. Sorry. YouTube - Columbus Fitness Training
I think there's a way to do it where you put [ youtube ] or [ /youtube] brackets around part of the link (without the spaces). I'm sure someone with a much better way of explaining it than that will come along. I can't see the video at work, but I will defiitely check it out tonight, sounds awesome!

Thank you! I had it from one of Lisa S.'s posts, but then I was typing Utube. LOL Thanks!

Wow, I can't wait to hear what he has you doing! I'm glad the first session went well. I've heard Tabatas are really hard. I think there's even a podcast that you can subscribe that does them. I think I was missing something though, because there weren't any instructions with it!
That guy in the first video with the yellow shirt is sick when he flips the tire! He looks like he's tossing a piece of paper. I had to remind myself how heavy that actually was!
Ok, since I bitched and complained here - I got a very sincere apology from Steve today. He gets that it was his fault and takes full responsibility. He is glad I am working with Callie and I pretty much told him that really all I wanted was that apology and that all was good. I explained that this whole subject is pretty damn sensitive to me right now. He just recently got promoted and seems like he is trying real hard to make things right there and I know he had just gotten busy. So, it's all good. I got my apology, I have a kick ass trainer, my paperwork is with her and I start this challenge on Monday.
I'm just getting caught up in here and am so glad that you got what you needed. Sounds like he really is aware of his mistakes and is trying to make it right.
Did you see the score of the UW-ND game this weekend? Willingham was fired this morning.

Well, I was pretty sore last night from the Tabatas. Today I am not as sore, so I would say it is definitely a workout and I was keeping an eye on my calorie burn and it was kind of crazy during that time span.

Yes, we watched the game. I didn't know he was fired, but I had a feeling it was coming. For that reason I hate some of the politics involved. Ty is an awesome coach and a very classy man. When ND let him go, I was extremely upset even though my husband was trying to prepare me that it would happen. I am glad to see that he will finish out the season. He deserves the best.

Those videos are great. They are very CrossFit-esque, and I am particularly fond of the tire-flipping.
Willingham seems like a good guy. I remember his days at ND, too, and all my ND-alum friends who seemed to dislike him there as well. The UW athletics department is a mess anyway, so I'm not holding my breath that much will change.
