Okay, I guess I'll get this started. Do I really need to post info about myself? I have over 14,000 posts. Surely y'all know as much as there is to know about me?;)
 
I'll be there -- arriving Thursday night. I'd like to do the Friday morning class, but haven't figured out transportation yet -- figure I can call a cab.

I'd love to check in here, though I also check in on the monthly rotation checkin.

Beth - I think there are lots of people going to the Friday a.m. class and I bet there'll be room in a car for you:)

So, tell us about yourselves! First roadtrip? Anyone ramping up their workouts before? I think I need to lose about 10 lbs.
 
Okay, a little bit about me.

My name is Shelley. I have way too many posts on these forums:p I went on the 2005 Road Trip and made some long-lasting friendships! I've been working out with Cathe for about 10 years (got Body Max way back in '98) but really ramped it up about 4 years ago. I have an SO, Chris, who's put up with me for 7 years now, and a 10 year old daughter, Sophie. I love working out, running, scrapbooking, decorating, gardening... I have two big rambunctious doggies, both rescues. There! How's that!
 
This will be my second road trip went last year. I will be arriving on Friday. I won't be revamping workouts since I am in a wedding sisters baby shower etc just trying to make sure I get mine in :) which is going to be a top priority. I would also like to get down to my normal size which I would have to lose a little more than 10 lbs but I'll shoot for the 10 too! How about you revamping workouts?

It is all in good fun noone judges all about having fun but its great motivation right? :)
 
Hi everyone!!

I'm Jerry...the one in my avatar that isn't Cathe....:7

I am happily married for 14 + years to Diane, we live in Rio Grande, NJ, which is 5 miles from Cape May, which may be familiar to some of you. I work in Cape May as a hotel desk clerk, this is my 6th year there. We love all things Disney, including our cat, Simba.

I'm coming up on my one year anniversary with Cathe and these forums, it's been a great year, have gotten to know some fun people, and can't wait to meet you all in the flesh in July. It is a great challenge working out with the best in the game!

Other than working out, and Disney, I love football (Eagles and Jaguars), Presidential history (addicted to books on JFK and RFK assassinations), and love the oldies, Motown, and Bruce Springsteen.

That about covers it!
 
Heres mine. I have been married for 3 yrs to my high school sweetheart of 13 yrs. I am 28 years old. I am a legal assistant and go to night school. I enjoy working out and reading. I have been super busy recently with trying to have a baby (didn't work) and weddings and my sisters baby shower. I have been working out to Cathe since 2006 recently having been taking a slight break but ready to get back in the swing of things :)
 
Hey guys!!! Did you just start this check-in??? LOVE IT!

I started a mini 6 week challenge this past Monday to kick my rear in time for RT!!!

Shelley, like you, I think there's enough info about ME out there in cyber space. Unless somebody requests more! :D

Just for the record, this morning I did CC V5 for the very first time and it kicked my bootay from here to tomorrow!!! Talk about a sweaty ol' MESS! I followed it up with Boot Camp (the original) Core premix and I was slippin and slidin all over my mat! LOVE IT!

YAY! Another check-in! ;)

To ramp up my workouts between now and the RT, I have broken away from my tradition of not following any rotation, and have been following Cathe's June rotation, and will do the same for July as well, at least until the RT, that is.

Off to do Drill Max cardio!!
 
Hi everyone,

I'll be on the July RT (obviously since this is the check-in for it:p). I've been working out with Cathe for about 5 years and I live in CT. I work for my Dad as a credit specialist and go to school at night in a feeble attempt to get my bachelor's degree.

I love Cathe, I love all of you and I'm soooo excited to be going on my second RT! (I went last year).

See ya lata!

Hi, all,

This is my first Cathe RT, and I am very excited! I've run and worked out for years, but I only discovered Cathe on FitTV several months ago. Of course, I was hooked immediately and now own many, many of her DVDs.

I live in Austin, TX, and have been married to a near-saint of a man for 18 and 1/2 years. I have 2 beautiful, intelligent identical twin DDs. I am a nonpracticing attorney, full-time household & family manager. ;)

I just finished a very demanding two day physcical challenge in honor of my DH's 42nd birthday, but I'll now be turning my attention to improving my Step abilities. It may be a hopeless cause. :)

I'll be arriving on Thursday and going to Cathe's class on Friday.
Can't wait! Thanks for starting this thread, Shelley!
 
Hello!

I started working out with Cathe in the summer of 2006. I think I first heard about her on videofitness.com or collage when I was looking to try some workouts other than the Firm, which was what I was doing mostly way back then! I live in Richmond, Virginia; I've been married for 19 years to my DH, Clay. We have two dogs, Gracie and Gilda, and a fat cat named, Archie. I have a BA in English, and I work as a proposal writer. I just got a new job offer and will be starting it in September. I love music, movies, reading, good food, wine, gardening, and getting together with close friends. The thing I look forward to most in life is our annual trip to Ocracoke, North Carlina each September. Hopefully, I also will come to anticipate a yearly Cathe RT after this one, the first for me!

I can't wait to meet all of you! (And, Cathe, if you're looking at this, please be gentle with me; I still have to hit the pause and reverse buttons a few times, even after all this time!!!;-) )
 
Like Kristi, I have been working out for years -- sort of all my life since I began competitive swimming when I was 7 -- but only discovered Cathe sometime in the last year. This is my first road trip, obviously.

Though I check in with the June rotation group, I'm actually doing Fitness Freak's get ready for summer rotation this month, because it looked so darn fun. I do like following some sort of rotation or at least planning out my workouts for the month at the beginning of the month.

I live in the Santa Cruz mountains with my husband and our two sons who are 9 and 6. I have to save some interesting details for my RT bio, so that's all of the spoilers for now. :)

Hi all. I'm a July Pre-roadtripper. I'll be arriving Thursday to see some old friends. I'm planning on going to Cathe's Friday morning, spending lunchtime with some of you, then heading home to work the weekend. I won't be checking in here regularly, since that would make me a big gate crasher, and also depress me too much, since I'm not doing the whole weekend, but I wanted to say hey and I'm looking forward to July.
 
Hello everybody! My name is Kate. I'm 28 and a married mom of 2 girls with one more girl due in October. I'll be 28 weeks pregnant at the time of RT so DH wants you all to make sure I'm taking it easy! LOL! I can't wait to come and meet everybody! I along with 3 roommates will be coming on Thursday - we'll all be at the Friday AM class.
 
Kate, we will take care of you!!

I am Katie, and July will be my first road trip. I found Cathe about 16 months ago when I decided to finally try step aerobics. I used to go with my mom to take weekly classes at the Y, but I never participated - just sat in the corner and worked the cassette player for the instructor of the class! 15 years later I bought my own step and was HOOKED!

I am 26 years old, mom to one son (Collin, 3 years old), and recently married (check out my avatar!) to a wonderful man and father, Chris. I am a case manager for a court-ordered alcohol/drug program, and I enjoy eating, sleeping, and working out!!

Can't wait to meet you all!
 
Hi Everyone!

I am Colleen and this will be my first Road Trip. I found Cathe about 4 years ago on Fitv and was hooked. I have been doing Step aerobics since college and it was great to find an instructor with challenging home workouts.

I am married to my wonderful husband Chris for 5 years and we have known each other for 10 years. We live outside of DC in Maryland. I am a project manager for a government contractor managing IT projects. I love working out, reading books and watching movies (just wish I had time for all that :) )

I can't wait to meet everyone in 5 weeks!

Colleen
 
Hi everyone. I'm Bev and I live right outside of Charlotte, NC. I've been doing Cathe for about 4 years and can't believe that I am actually going to get to meet her. Yes this is my first RT and I'm very excited but also nervous! I plan to arrive on Thursday and will be taking her Friday step class. I'm staying at the Residence Inn.

My DH and I will be married 25 years this November and he is wonderful to put up with my workout obsession. Today is his birthday and I'm surprising him with a trip to the Biltmore in Asheville, NC so I guess I had better get moving and do my S&H shoulders workout.

Can't wait to meet everyone!!!!!!

Bev
 
Thanks Shelley for starting this thread!
I'll be there in July and can't wait! I came to the last RT in 07 and loved it.
I live in TX and found Cathe on FitTV about 4 years ago and now have almost all of her workouts. I also run 3x a week. I used to run more and longer distance. I have completed 3 marathons and 4 half marathons, but now try to mix it up a little more.
I have been married for 26 years and have 2 boys (21 and 24). My older son just got married this year.
I have been teaching 4 and 5 year olds for 16 years at our church and have a new job in the fall as a Kindergarten asst. at another school.

I'm sure that that is more info than you care to know about me!!
Can't wait to meet everyone!
Gin:)
