The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge (Utah or Malibu)

Good Morning All,

I hear it all the time, people telling me they want to lose weight. Asking me to help them lose weight. Wanting me to motivate and encourage them to lose weight. I have no problem doing ALL of that. But it's null and void if you don't have the desire to want it for yourself. Which is why I recommend the Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge. The resort can give you the jump start you need on your journey for weight loss.

I know, I know...most people think its expensive. Well let me have you look at it in a different perspective. Can you put a price on your life? No you can't! We spend hundreds even thousands of dollars to go on vacation to have the time of our lives. When you return from vacation, you're tired, broke (out of money), and you may have put on a couple of pounds...because you have eaten just about everything you could get your hands on. Why? Because you're on VACATION!!
The same amount of money you spent to go a vacation to relax and have fun, you can spend to get healthy, lose weight, meet new people, eat 5-6 times a day, exercise, relax, and HAVE FUN!

Plus, you get to meet, exercise, hangout with, some of your favorite BIGGEST LOSERS!

So if you're interested I'll be at The Biggest Loser Resort at Fitness Ridge-Malibu Oct. 23-30.

"Been A Long Time, I Shouldn't Have Left You"!!

Ok, I know It's been some time since I Blogged about my comings and goings. I do apologize. So let me catch you all up to speed. This past weekend, I was in San Francisco particpating in the TRI-Cal Triathlon. Over 50 of my follow BL'ers, from Season's 1 to 9 all participated. Some did 5k's, 10k's, and most did the Olympic Triathlon.

When I was first asked to do the full tri-athlon I was like WHAT!!!. What does that consist of? Swimming, Biking ,and Running! My first thought was Oh

H --LL NO!! LOL. But then the voice of reason kicked in, and said; Carla, you did a Half Marathon last year...you can do a triathlon. I said to the voice, I haven't even began to train for something like that, are you CRAZY!!!

After contemplating, I was on board. So I called my girl, Nicole Brewer, and she was down. But then she informed me that she wasn't able to do the full on her own...and suggested doing a relay team. That was even better, but now we have to find a third person...who might that be. Our girl, Ryan Kelley from Season 2. It was perfect, we all had our specialties. Ryan swam, I biked, and Nicole loves to run (matter of fact, she'll be running in the New York Marathon this Fall). So we named our team, "3 GLAM GIRLS", how perfect was that. Then we were off to San Francisco.

When I left Detroit, the temperature was anywhere from the high 90's to the 100's, matter of fact we had a HEAT WAVE! I arrived in San Francisco, and it was cool(low to mid 60's) like Fall...what in the world! Luckily, I brought my sweater that I normally carry with me, otherwise I would have FROZEN to DEATH! LOL

Race Day:

We were all pumped up and ready to go. We all did our parts...I conquered that bike. The only thing I didn't prepare for were hills, because Detroit doesn't really have any! Going up the Hill was comical, going down was even funnier, I had people cracking up at me. But I will say we came in at a good time. Our time was
4hrs 31mins. How you like that for first time triathletes?

It was an awesome weekend and a good experience, and maybe just maybe, I'll do a Full on my own. We'll see!!

The cast and crew were awesome. I would like to Thank a good friend of mine, Velda Hunter for asking me to come out and support. I thought I was just gonna be a fly on the wall and low and behold...they put me in the hairstylist chair and was like... ACTION!!! I'm glad I was a part of it.

Home Training Group!!

When I started gaining weight, I hated going to the gym. It felt like everyone was looking at me, therefore I wouldn't go. Working out with a trainer at the gym felt even worse...because the yelling and screaming drew attention to the fat girl who wasn't doing what the trainer wanted her to do. So embarrassing!!

I know that there are trainers that don't scream and yell...but at that time I had encountered trainers that did, and that was it for me. Had I known trainers would come to my home and work me out, I would've done that. Being in the comfort of my own surroundings, not having everybody and they're momma staring or looking at me, and feeling uncomfortable. I would've jumped on the chance!!

I had know idea that there where companies out there that offer this service. Well, there is one company in particular, HOME TRAINING GROUP.

I met the owner (Candice Belfour) who had gone through some of the same feelings and emotions, that I expressed. She tried many things, gone to gyms and was embarrassed and humiliated. Candice even tried out for The Biggest Loser, and was not chosen...another rejection. So she started asking trainers if they would / could train her at home because she was a stay at home mom with two young boys.

Only one trainer, said yes...came out worked her out and helped her lose over 130lbs at home. She came up with the idea and started Home Training Group. I was amazed by her story. I know that there are so many women and men all across the world that have experienced or currently experiencing what Candice and I felt. Well with Home Training Group, you can have affordable personal trainers come to your home.

I became a Territory Operator for Home Training Group, and what better way for me to stay in shape and continue my weight loss journey than partnering with a company that offers in home personal training.

A Dream Deferred

If I could go back in time and pursue my dream of becoming a model in my teens, I could have been the next Carla (Tyra) Banks...Exploring the universe and traveling the globe to see what life had to offer. That wasn't the plan GOD had for me...HE had me take the long route, and endure trials & tribulations, rejection, acceptance, love, and heartbreak to make me appreciate the blessings HE had in store. Do I wish I coulda, shoulda, woulda...of course!! But I'm glad I didn't.

My life has come full circle, I've been blessed to have experienced many things...now I have the opportunity to do what I initially wanted to do, but it was all in HIS timing. I'm glad that I waited patiently. I am pleased to announce that I was featured in the June 2010 issue of Plus Model Magazine, in a spread entitled Utilitarian Desert Chic. No longer a dream deferred...a dream come true!
