Hey all , already it has been one week that I have been at The Oaks . It has gone by pretty quickly , but I would like for it to SLOW DOWN !! Haha Tomorrow & Wednesday I have off so I am looking forward to the warm sunshine on the beaches of Santa Barbara as I continue with my journey around California . During the past few days, I have met some really great people ! Some have checked out of The Oaks already but it was a pleasure to have met them , taught classes for them, led the morning hikes for them , & just get to know them more on a personal level . One woman I have met is neighbors of 2 stunt doubles ; Catherin Zeta Jones & Vince Von , another woman is really good friends with a brief case # 2 gall from Deal or No Deal , I've met a Hanes Underwear model / talk show host, and then you have the lovely mothers and daughters who are looking to spend quality time with one another . I would not be surprised if other great guest (possibly celebs) will show up during my stay here.
Other then teaching classes / hikes at The Oaks , I am also experiencing work at the corporate office , The Nest ( small retail shop within the spa ) , providing dinner services for guests , front desk duties , & whatever else they throw at me :) This is really a great experience to cover all aspects of what it feels like to run a fitness spa resort . . . . bottom straight to the tippy top ! !
On another note , THE FOOD HERE HAS BEEN AMAZING ! ! ! Meals are prepared to be no more than 1000 calories a day for the guests . Me on the other hand have been eating athletic portions so my caloric intake is higher . Because I have been eating super healthy , my energy has be great during the day . For breakfast I eat oatmeal with fresh fruit jam / apple sauce , 3 small muffins , fresh fruit , and a hard boiled egg . When 12 o'clock rolls around , lunch is served normally as a soup , salad, entree , and a small dessert . During dinner time the chiefs prepare a salad with an entree & small dessert. Then through out the course of the day they serve fresh veggies with a very healthy dip, along with smoothies , and popcorn at night..... no salt or butter is used .
Well I suppose I should end this post here so I do not overwhelm all of you . There is just so much to share and yet I've been here for only a week so far . If there is anything more you would like to know about this facility , about my internship program , or anything else feel free to ask :) <3
