Fast Forward to the Finish

The ticker is ticking away, with only 24 days left until the grand finale we have kicked things into high gear. At this point for the next three weeks we will be spending more time together as a team than as individuals. I bet our families will be wondering when they are going to be able to get some of our time - I guess that's the price to pay for being famous (ha ha). Just as the team was notified that we are scheduled to attend our private session with the Chef at L'Academie de Cuisine on Saturday to prepare for our upcoming cooking challenge next weekend, the phone rings again to say that our session at the Spa has been set up for the day after. Whew! This Challenge is awesome, but I'm beginning to think that we are going to need to buckle our seat belts because we are kicking it into high gear. With only 24 days left, we have to fit in our M-W-F sessions at Fitness 4 Less, our Tuesday weigh ins with Dimensions, a final health screening and blood work, the cookoff challenge, the makeover sessions and possibly a session with the dentists? All that AND while trying to fit in our day to day regular lives. Lya is in the process packing up her house and moving in addition to just starting a new job, Oteal just started a new PT work assignment joined a professional speakers group and has to captain our ship, I have my daughter's graduation on Sunday, year end activities for both of my school's, and preparing for my last day of employment after 8 yrs on June 25th, not to mention trying to find another job so that the rent can be paid in July! Whew again!! And I didn't even factor planning a graduation and 18th birthday celebration for Harmony as well. Yikes! Calgon take me away!! I haven't even asked Norm or Charlene what they have going on, but Norm is always on the move with Tee Times and the ushering the Nationals home games, and Charlene's work schedule is crazy! Most days she has to get up at 4AM! And even with all of that, we are so excited about all that we have accomplished and all that still remains for the big "Finale" day! Stay tuned...the BEST IS YET TO COME! Trust me! You all are going to be amazed at what can be accomplished with the right mindset, determination, and awesome sponsors! Who knows, you could be next!
