Road Trip Cold Feet

Yep...I've had them. I almost backed out a few times, but I am NOT going to miss this! I know I am going to have a blast. Everyone here is beyond super, so how could meeting in person be any different?

Sabrina,

You're welcome. I know there is a small group of us who will be trekking over to Cathe's gym for an early morning step class. Nice to get some practice prior to Saturday! :D

You'll do fine. When the time gets closer, we will post directions to the hotels and to Cathe's gym.

Awww! So sweet! I feel better now! LOL!!!!

I just know that the weekend is going to end too quickly and I'm already dreading that moment when we all have to say goodbye. :(
 
I personally think we will be yakking as soon as our tootsies enter the hotel lobby. You know there will most likely be at least a couple of road trippers sitting in the hotel lobby (pick a hotel) chatting away...

If those of you who get in late and miss the ice breaker event on Friday night; don't worry. We'll start chatting away again early Saturday morning. :7

Oh Shelley, not you... I remember when I was waiting at the restaurant for the Texas gals, and I kept thinking, "Maybe this is a mistake, maybe I should just go home," and then I saw them coming. The first one I saw was Nadine, who is tall and pretty and has a smile that can disarm the most defensive person. And then Shonie came up from behind her and in a flash she was beside me, and while she gave me a hug she said, "You're Pinky? I always thought you were blonde!" And that just broke the ice. I laughed, then whispered to her, "How can I be blonde? I'm Asian!" And I got hugs from Nadine and Laura, then later Marla and Jes came in, and it was great from there. So great that a lady from another table came over to ask what our gathering was all about, if this was the first time we all met each other. Then later, an elderly gentleman from yet another table actually joined us when we were taking pictures. I guess the fun we had was contagious. I KNOW the road trip will be even more fun, so don't have second thoughts.;-)

The only thing I'm nervous about is not getting enough sleep Friday night and then taking three classes the next day. Otherwise I'm extremely excited and looking SO forward to meeting you guys! I know it's going to be a blast!:)
 
Shelley, having a case of the nerves is acceptable, backing out is NOT!!! ;) So many of us are looking forward to meeting you that if you don't show up, we're all going get plane tickets to Canada, just to see you. And we're all going to STAY AT YOUR HOUSE! :) I think it'd be a lot less work and stress) for you to come on the road trip than to have to listen to us fighting over your bathroom! :)

Like Marla said we were all nervous on our Texas trip until we "broke the ice." (Marla, you looked as cool as a cucumber in the elevator, you hide your anxiety well girl! :))

I was so nervous that I had to change shirts before I met Shonie, Marla and Jes! Only Laura saw just how MUCH I was sweating from my nerves. My shirt was a mess. I had never had that much underarm sweat (from nerves) before; it was AMAZING.

This time I've researched a great anti-perspirant (Certain Dri- it's OTC but almost perscription strength,) so I'm "armed."

(Now lets just hope my body doesn't compensate and give me butt sweats instead!) :p

Aw Pinky! You just made my day!! I always think that my smile gets SO huge when I'm really happy that my eyes go all squinty! I don't like that. But you made me not mind so much. Thank you! :*

You're so sweet, and I'm SO very glad you didn't go home! This time around we'll really have time to bond! :)

Shelly dont you go cold feet on going to the road trip, you are so lucky to go there, I wish I could go!!! and meet women who have the same interest, women who you have been communicating everyday! from all over the place!!! that to me is a lot of fun! do not pay attention to the thoughts, if you dont go you know what are going to miss???? the experience of being in a place where you going to feel at home, I bet Cathe is working very hard on making sure her fans will feel super great, and meet more women and enjoy the step workout, geez I dream about it, take pictures and film it and enjoy every second of it because you are going to be part of an event many women in this forum want to be part of, unfortunally we just can't.

Shelley! Girl you better get over it! Quick! Everthing will be a blast and we will make memoried for a lifetime!!! Besides, my life would be incomplete if i never got to meet a Limecat worshiper!! You don't want me to feel deprived do you!??;-) We need you for wild crazy antics!!


Marla was very brave! she picked my crazy behind up from the airport and she never met me until i stepped off the plane! what a trooper!!
no one seemed nervous to me, but that could be attributed to me running my mouth!


we are all going to have a great time! for those of afraid of flying, but are doing it anyway, thanks! you are very brave!

Oh, I do too!!

But you're talking crazy. You were so thoughtful to respond to my PM about the trip. You have to go!! You talked *me* into it so it's only fair!

I'm afraid that I'm going to trip and fall. That I will always be on the wrong side of the board. I'm anxious because I use the rewind button often, but clearly that won't work at the gym! I will not be able to do everything (pushups? Not happening -- not at Cathe's pace and definitely not without my knees!), so I'm afraid I'll look idiotic.

But I paid. So I'm going!

It's going to be fun :)
 
Okay,
no more of this talk. We are soooo lucky to be able to go on this trip and it is going to be great! I was also nervous and scared but this is so incredibly amazing that we get to meet our mentor and the
people that we interract with everyday online. And for those of us that are shy(me included) there will be the coordinators there to break the ice. I think we should make a rule that if we see anyone shying away or looking uncomfortable that we immediately go up and introduce ourselves. We are all in this together. It will be great!

Name Tags!

Wow, where have I been and how did I miss THIS thread??

Shelley and gang, yes, we will mos' def have name tags for everyone, with user names if you want it that way. :)

As for cold feet, PERISH THE THOUGHT, buddies! Oh, you guys, I think it's so normal to have butterflies but SO unnecessary! Here I am one of the coordinators, and I am in the worst shape I've been in since 2000 because I've had one of those six-month intervals where life just got in the way of fitness, I'm 10 lbs overweight again, for the umpteenth time, and I am ghostly white with legs that, I kid you not, will blind you all. And I could care less because I'm finally going to get to meet all of you and Cathe.

Let me tell ya, too, that Mama Deb and Lorrayne and I have gotten to know Cathe through the mountains of correspondence we've had about planning this trip, and -- if such a thing is possible -- she is even sweeter, funnier, nicer and more downright normal and un-celebrity-like than we could have imagined. And she has just POURED herself into making this weekend wonderful for all of you.

We are all in for a three-day treat and I can't wait!!! Like we used to say in my sorority days, Y'ALL GET FIRED UP!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
