So, I was feeling great and thinking I was looking amazing until Saturday when we got to see the week's video that is made for each guest. It is a great video; lots of photos, fun, and memories but it also reminds that still have a long way to go - if the camera adds 10 pounds, exactly how many cameras were on me :( I was upset Saturday and a bit of a suck yesterday but a day of rest has helped. And then we went on the hike and our guide was a pregnant chick. Nothing like working your ass off, climbing huge rocks, slugging through sand to find the pregnant guide leader way ahead with no a sweat drop in sight - arggggggg.
