It was then that Ruby revealed that she hired a trainer to help her lose the 10 pounds on her trip.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>But, it wasn&#8217;t all about the <a title=\"weight loss\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/\" target=\"_self\">weight loss<\/a> business. Ruby and her friend and travel partner Georgia headed to the zoo to see all the popular animals native to Australia (kangaroos, koalas, etc.). There was a particularly funny moment when the girls were contemplating a pack of kangaroo meat (jerky). They were just completely skittish about trying it. It was just odd that they acted like it was such a repulsive alien thing.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby&#8217;s Australian trainer Blake challenged her to cross the Sydney Harbor Bridge. As expected, Ruby was very reluctant to take on such a huge challenge. In the meantime, she had to get back to the business of promoting her book. This meant a book signing, a speaking engagement, and radio interview.<\/p>\n<p>Before the bridge challenge, Blake took Ruby on a sail boat trip&#8230; not just for sight-seeing, but as a <a title=\"workout DVDs\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/topics\/workout-dvds\/\" target=\"_self\">workout<\/a>.

She was still worried about her body not cooperating. Ironically, Ruby&#8217;s trainer struggled a little with his fear of heights. The tables were turned and Ruby had to console Blake where the path went over the passing cars.<\/p>\n<p>While Ruby did struggle to the peak of the bridge, she managed to defeat her doubts and made it.
