It is 8:20PM and I have never in my life been so tired this early. As many of you know I usually am up until 2AM and then wake up at 6AM to start my day. Well that will not cut it here.
My arrival was uneventful and after arriving at the airport my driver picked me up and I arrived uneventfully. I met the staff and was evaluated. Too my shock I was the heaviest I have ever been 307.25 pounds. Whata huge dissapointment to know that I and no one else did this to myself. I met some of the other "campers" and they range from "newbies" to "4 week veterans".
They showed me my accomadations. I have a great little condo on the beach with two bedrooms so anyone that wants to see me "HUMBLED, BEATEN DOWN" come on down as now is the chance.
After that all the niceness was over they put us too work. I have accomplished alot in my life time and never have I felt so inadequate. I did the best I could and I am so out of shape that even though I comleted all the activites they requested (almost all of them)it just was not good enough for me.
We start tomorrow AM at 6:45 so I am goint to tke my weakened body and even weaker soul too bed. I know that it will get better.
I cannot tell you how amazing it was to have over 150 e-mails. I cannot even answer them all. I want to thank you all for being there this is incredible and without friends and famiky this journey would not happen.
Bye for now.
