The planning has begun.

So unbeknownst to many of you, and completely knownst to a couple of you, I’ve decided to take a retreat.  I hear many of you thinking (yes, I can hear you) “Kerry Jo!  That sounds so relaxing, just what you need!”  Well…..its not exactly that kind of retreat.

I’m going to be spending three weeks at, for lack of a better word, bootcamp.  A fairly luxurious bootcamp to be sure, but a bootcamp none the less.  For at least 3 weeks (and very possibly 4) I’ll be spending 6-7 hours per day working out with trainers, running up sand dunes, and lap swimming.  My “down time” will be chock full of fitness evaluations, cooking and nutrition classes, eating personalized meals tailored to my body’s needs, and trying to “fully adopt <my> new behaviors and attitudes.”

Did I mention that Jessica Biel and Chris Daughtry worked out here?  My sister was really worried about that.  She said “I would HATE to work out next to Jessica Biel.”  And I said, “Whatever, I’d totally just be like, you look fat in those shorts.”

But seriously, I’d fully support Jessica Biel.  That chick’s whole life is spent in a bikini.  That’s GOT to be intimidating.

Anyway, it’s not all fun and games people.  There’s real important reasons I decided to do this and I’ve given this a ton of thought.  I’m sure I’ll tell you more as this blog goes on.  What’s important right now is that I know I can do this.  And I will.

Hell, to prove it to myself, I just bought 3 pairs of “Supplex” capris to augment my sports wardrobe.  And 3 new sports bras.  Go Kerry Jo indeed.
