I'm feeling STRESSED!

[pugw]

Okay guys, I'm stressin' a little this morning. I was already feeling a little insecure because of my size. And I do know the only one who cares about this is me. I guess if I cared enough I would have severed my love affair with sugar some time ago, huh?

Anyway, I found out last night that my roomie has to cancel and now I'm going to be fat and alone. Tell me it's all going to be okay please.

IT WILL BE OKAY!!

You are right, the only one who cares is you. There are people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities at the RT, and it's all GOOD!

Sorry your roomie had to cancel, but you are far from alone! We'll all be around to keep you company, chat, sweat, and I promise that you are going to have a fabulous weekend! Hang in there!!

Can't wait to meet you in person!

I know, I know, I know. I just wanted to hear it from someone else. Thanks.

Please don't stress. I assure you will be having too much fun to be stressed once you're there.

See you in 6 days!! OMG, I better go pack!!!

Rhondalyn.....still need to hear it? Well, then......stress not, my dear friend.
You are going to have a B-L-A-S-T!!!!!! Seriously, I remember going home after my first RT in 2005 and telling my friends that it might be illegal for a woman (and MOM) to have so much fun without her kids around! And you know what??? When I told my friends about all the workouts and events, etc....they thought I WAS NUTS! But the other 104 folks at the RTs these last few years GET IT!!! Just you WAIT!!!! You'll forget about all your worries!

And do you know what I tell my 2 daughters (11 and 8 years old)? They get sad about mommy leaving for 5 days and I tell them that sometimes even moms need to go away and have some "girlfriend giggle time". Seriously - I listen to my girls when they have friends sleep over - remember how you would just giggle all night? This RT is that. It's new friends (and ones made on past RTs) coming together with a common interest of fitness - regardless of the fitness level - and laughing and sweating and having FUN everywhere you look. Girlfriend giggle time - here we come. No stress allowed!

Sure, I bet you did. Abandoned and ignored too! Thanks for the encouragement girls.

Rhondalynn, we're going to be just fine -- you, me, and all of the other first-timers. We have those assurances from the veterans and I know they wouldn't lie. Not only is it going to be here before we know it, it's going to be over even more quickly. Relax and enjoy every minute.

Rhondalyn ~ I'm another first timer that is getting excited for the RT!!! and I'm with you on how I was "gonna" look when I first signed up for the RT in February as I just received STS and was on a great roll! Apparently that started rolling downhill shortly thereafter and life got in the way and now in fact I am just the opposite of what I hoped to achieve by now! I haven't worked out for weeks and will most certainly be gasping for air after each and every class, so fear not as you will not be alone in your plight and we are all in this together! It will be a blast and even at my current weight, and as dissappointed I am at my fitness journey progress, I am so looking forward to this weekend getaway as a kick in the butt that I need to get back on track!

As my DH says: ADAPT, IMPROVISE AND PERSEVERE!!!
