RE: Road Trip Check-in!!! 3-25

ShellyC,

Yes, that's me. Gayle is an amazing woman. I am so glad we got to know each on the last RT. As for me being a runner, I have to say not really. I like to but I don't it often enough to keep at it. I did get up to six miles once, last summer. I'm trying to get back into it, now that the weather is nicer. I consider what I do as jogging instead of running because I'm slow.

Can't wait to meet everyone. How are we going to stand the wait.

I love to run (hi Shelly) and lift weights and about ANY Cathe workout.

Hello fellow roadtrippers!!!! First of all, I'm soooooo excited for this roadtrip! I'm 26 (will be 27 by the roadtrip), maried w/ a 12 year old stepson. I live in Ct and I am a fulltime student, fiishing up my degree to teach 7-12 history and social studies. I have been working out with Cathe for a little over a year now. I was doing the firm for several years and wanted something more challenging. I saw Cathe on fit tv and was so impressed with her, I was hooked immediately!

Cathe has definitely increased my fitness level and helped my build and tone my muscles. I have always been skinny, but now I have some muscles, not just little twig arms! I also want to increase my cardiovascular fitness level so I won't be gasping for air on the roadtrip!

I did IMAX 2 this morning and am planning on doing PUB tomorrow.

I look forward to getting to know all of you before we meet at the roadtrip!

Hi Y'all

Wow! This thread has grown!

Belinda: How sweet that you and your dd are so close. Don't worry about possible language misunderstandings. My first language is English, and I'm usually misunderstood. So, I try to give others the benefit of doubt since I can so relate!

Kathy and all you Texas Ladies: I LOVE Texas! It's like walking into a big church. Everyone is so nice and call others honey and say things like; "Well, aren't you just the cutest little thing I've seen all day!" I don't think I stopped smiling during the entire time I visited Texas a couple of years ago.

Tracy: Let me know if you decide to do P90X. I'm seriously considering starting it with dh to help increase my strength and cardiovascular fitness.

Heather: Ya know, I was talking to dh about where to get the best Philly cheese steak. He told me of a itty bitty place in South Philly called Johns. He's asleep right now. I forget exactly where and his other tips for where NOT to go and what to order. I'll pass that info to you later.

Phyllis: Jennifer and I would love to hook up with you before the meet and greet if you have the time or desire to meet us.

Jean: I am SOOOO relieved you have a spot! I was worried that being invoice 105 didn't mean spot 105.

Carol: Thanks for explaining your faux P90X rotation results. It's encouraging me to just do it asap.

Nancy J: I tip my hat to you being a single mother. Don't forget to bring pictures of your little girl so you can show her off to us. I do have to ask if you style your dd's hair for fun. My hairdresser gets so many new clients from people seeing her little dd's hair all done up.

Cheryl: I am amazed at how awesome you look for having birthed 10 children! I would trade my spot on the RT to have more dc with my dh. LOL You are very blessed!

Lara: Honey, it's alright if you're shy. You still have to post in the check-in though. LOL

Jacque1038: We love Respiratory Therapists! My twins were born 4 months early and their RTs were so kind and encouraging to us during their NICU stay. You're another potential P90X user who needs to notify me if you start a rotation. I'll need all the support I can get.

Kim: Not only does your screen name crack me up, the description of yourself almost brought tears to my eyes. Oh, my I hope we don't hit it off to good. I think Cathe will have to separate us!

Carole: Yes, I do hope the check-in continues. I took a look at your pictures. You are BUFF! Whatever you're doing or have done is working for you!

Josie: I'm with you. I need to up my cardiovascular fitness. I heard HIIT are good at increasing it.

I think I got everyone. If not, I apologize. I better get some sleep. Monday morning is already here. :-(

Wendy...Cathe is a great addiction! I look foreward to getting to know you and meeting in Aug. Thank you for the nice compliment! I have worked out most of my life!

Belinda...hey, you are NOT old. I am 48 and doing Cathe makes me feel lots younger.....or maybe its the running.

Tracy..congrats on the new baby. I think the RT will be great motivation for all of us.

Another Tracy......you have had great results working out. I enjoyed P90X and still do the workouts occasionally.

Gin...nice to meet another marathoner. I am with you on the clean eating challenge..

Jacqueline...congrats on the weight loss. P90X is a fun one and you can get some good results.
