Road Trip Check-in
Good morning, Road Trippers! The weekend has finally arrived! I am happy, happy, happy! I had an extremely stressful week at work and was too tired to check-in most nights this week. I did Cardio Kicks Wednesday morning, Drill Max Thursday morning, and Stretch Max yesterday morning. I am planning to do DanceWorks and Strength in Movement this morning then meet my friend Rebecca for brunch. I need a fun day just to unwind after such a wild week at work.
I am so excited! One of the girls I met during the street outreach on Good Friday contacted us. We give our phone numbers to the women every year, and this is the first woman who has reached out for help. We have started the process of helping her find a job and a place to live so she can get out of that hell on earth motel she is stuck in now. Anna called Emily and shared that she wants to attend our Saturday night worship service. All the other girls on the ministry team are out of town or otherwise occupied tonight, so she will be riding with me. Please pray for me as I will be driving to that part of town alone. God will be with me. When Emily sent me an e-mail last night with Anna’s room number, it dawned on me that this is the girl I met and hugged! She received one of the gift bags that I packed and prayed over! It is possible that she could change her mind before tonight, but I am so excited! I am also thankful to have a church family that will welcome her with open arms and not judge her or look down on her as “less than” because there but for the grace of God go any of us.
I went to the viewing last night for a friend’s father who went to be with Jesus this week. I wore the same top I wore for my church directory photo session, and everyone told me how radiant and beautiful I am in that color, including a man who is a professional photographer. The power of color is amazing. I am a clear spring. I need to wear colors that are clear and bright. Nothing too dark or muted for me. My look is clear and contrasting with porcelain skin, bright blue eyes, and brown hair.
I maintained my weight this week, but my cycle just started. I usually gain 3-5 pounds during PMS week, so I am very excited! I should see a big change next week.
Michelle, you are up bright and early this morning!
Tess, enjoy Butts and Guts. I highly recommend the leg blast premix! It is my favorite lower body workout of all time!
Blessings,
Heather B.

Hello all!
I just finished CM3 and LM intervals 1-4. Now, my plan is to shower and get outside! I need to clean up the garden and just get some fres air!
Belinda - how awful about DS's accident! I'm glad he wasn't hurt.
OK, off to the shower!

Hello fellow RT's.
Michelle... I love those firewalkers!! They are like a secret weapon aren't they??
Heather... I will be praying for you as you head into that side of town. I am so impressed with the work you are doing. Undoubtedly you make a difference in people's lives... I am touched by your generosity.
Tess... Have fun with the Dynaband. I really love using the band for so many things, but again, firewalkers alone make it worthwhile (haven't I heard that somewhere before?? Oh yea, Cathe says that on BG!)
So, the search for my new, cute, pink phone was not productive. I found a cute Razor phone in pink, but I don't like the flip phones (too much work having to open and close it. I'm lucky I can fish the thing out of my bag before it stops ringing!)There were all these other phones, some you could get cute covers for, none of which dance which is a bummer ( my present dancing phone is a Nokia from 2 years ago. So, I got overwhelmed and left the store. I will drag my DH on Monday when he is off so he can help me figure things out. Meanwhile, I have to bang my phone to dial and hang up for another couple of days. What happened to the good ol' days w/o these things??
So, this morning I got up and did PUB then taught cardio/sculpt right after. I am still sweaty and sore and about to go shower and get on with the day. No PB so far today, I am going to try and get through one day w/o it just to prove I can!
My son is in a play at the community theatre today ( The Crucible). Should be great!
Best to all, have a wonderful, healthy day!

Hi RoadTrippers ~ Hope everyone is having a Great Weekend!
It is Beautiful here today in PA. I think it's in the mid 70's, it's great. I was out early this morning walking the dog, You could smell spring in the air...
Today is end of W2 on my BFL challenge...I'm feeling great!!
It is my "free day," but I haven't been going crazy. I had a doughnut and a few cookies and I feel just awful. I guess my body is getting used to the BFL way of eating. I am having my BF cook up some chicken & hot dogs on the grill for dinner tonight :9
It was offically my rest day, but instead I did KPC - sweat was flying...
Take Care

Hellloooooooo.
Today was CC4 and I kicked it! Whooooohooooo. Then I did BSB at the gym, not as tough as Cathe, but then, well, you all know how tought Cathe is. DH and I looked at treadmills today and are probably going to buy one soon. That will be very nice as I would like to be able to get up in the AM and use the treadmill. There is no way I am going to get up and go to the gym to do that.
Have a great day everyone.

Road Trip Check-in
Good evening, Road Trippers! I had a fun day today. After I enjoyed DanceWorks this morning, Rebecca knocked on my front door. We visited a local farm that grows organic produce, walked at the lake, and went to our friend Jan’s home and took her out to lunch because she has been feeling blue. The three of us split a piece of key lime cheesecake and did not finish the whole serving between us! A few bites of dessert is satisfying to me. I did Strength in Movement this afternoon. I am a morning girl all the way, but I did not have time for both workouts this morning.
A local ob/gyn saw me and Rebecca walking at the lake and stopped riding his bike to commend us for working out together. Both of us are visibly overweight. He really encouraged us and told us that, as a women’s physician, he has seen firsthand how much harder it is for women to shed pounds and even maintain weight in their 30s and beyond due to hormonal issues. He is a member of the club who has seen us jogging in the pool there, and he affirmed that the weight we have already dropped is applaudable no matter how slow progress seems. Rebecca and I were greatly encouraged.
I went to Anna's place tonight before the worship service. A man answered the door and told me that she wandered off earlier today and never returned. I am concerned about her, but he did not act like this was an unusual thing for her to do. I am not sure what her relationship is with this man, but I have been told that he is the one who pays for her room at the motel. I drove around and looked for her thinking that she could not have gone too far on foot, but I did not see her anywhere. This is the woman I met and hugged on Good Friday, so I was really looking forward to seeing her again.
I believe it is a good idea for someone to go with me in the future. I was surprised by all the men in the parking lot at such an early hour. I thought about waiting for Anna to return but did not feel peace about hanging around that part of town on a Saturday night. I definitely did not feel peace about going to the corner where the prostitutes work. I asked the man to tell Anna that I came for her so she will at least know that I did not forget about her.
Have a blessed Sunday!
Blessings,
Heather B.
