Hello everyone from the States, we arrived after a horrendous long trip. Four plane trips was just awful. Our last plane was delayed in Chicago for two hours. I currently have jetlag and I am fighting to stay awake during the day and night I am wide awake, I hope this changes soon. We have met so many wonderful, friendly people, they just love us here. There are so many things the same but so many things that are different to home. It is funny our team have already had so many laughs about it all. We met their outgoing team yesterday and they are so excited about heading to Australia, I know how they feel about it all.

I can't get over the food here, it is worse than I thought, definitely a major contributing factor their health problems here. Also the amount of little sport or recreation that ORDINARY people do here is a worry.

The GSE co-ordinators have so much planned for us it is unreal, so many exciting things I can't wait but I won't write about that until we have done it. Will keep you all in suspense. I am keeping a paper diary of each day because I am not sure I will get to blog everyday and I don't want to forget stuff.

Would love to hear from you guys if you are reading along, unfortunately won't have time to check any of fav blogs but know I will catch up when I get home.

I also hope to post some pics as I go along but that will depend on my availability to download pics.... Never fear you will see many shots when I get home also, ha ha!!!

Ok will sign out today and try and keep you up to date as much as I can.

Take care all
Jodie

    Hi Jodie...

    Just a quick note about the food and the exercise: Ohio is not indicative of EVERYPLACE in the states re: food and exercise. But it's true: it's one of the worst.

    There are good places to get healthy groceries (like "Trader Joe's", "Wild Oats", and some good stores like "Giant Eagle") as well as to exercise. But all-told, Ohio's behind many states.

    I'm not sure where you are now in Ohio. I'll be there next week to meet you on Friday the 31st! Call me on my cell: remember!

    Best to your jet lag (sit in a sunny MORNING-light window to help remove jetlag!)

    Hi Jode!!! I finally found my way here. And have you noticed how BIG everything is?? As in coffee, soda, etc. ie a regular coffee (the smallest you can get) is bigger than our large?? :)
    Have fun, can't wait to read all about it.
    (I lost 3.5lbs on my first week - day off training today!)

Positive thinking is a habit, like any other; we can practice it every day until it becomes second nature to us - and along the way, transform our lives. Join me as I dare to dream and make dreams reality. I will believe in myself more and judge myself less. I promise I am going to act more and hesitate less...
