's Daily Message FridayOctober 06, 2006WELCOME TO THE WORKOUT WEEKEND!

I know a lot of you wanted to come to Slimmons this weekend and couldn`t make it, sooooo the next 3 days of messages will be dedicated to the retreat that starts tonight!

I really have to thank the staff at Slimmons for putting the whole weekend together. Thank you, Anne, for your time and knowledge that you give to every project that you love. And Dana, gosh, you`re going to get a jeweled crown for dealing with all the emails about food! You are a saint, and thanks, Dana, for being such a team player. And thank you, Judy, , Helen, Janet, Sherry, Melinda, , Trish, Felise, and my Atomic Ballroom friends. More about them later. I`m so blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful and talented people.

I`ve never held a workout weekend like this before, and I can`t wait for 6:00 PM to get here! That`s when registration starts. Everyone will sign in and get a name tag. I love when someone comes up to me and says, "Hi! I met you 14 years ago. Do you remember my name?" That`s why God created name tags!

Orientation will begin at 6:30, where I will introduce everyone to everyone. Sort of like "Getting to Know You" from "The King and I." I told everyone to dress in casual clothes for the entire weekend. Comfort is a key when you`re going to work out a whole lot. will teach a stretch class to the group. So many traveled so many hours to get here today. I thought they should all stretch out and relax their bodies before we kick the calories tomorrow.

Before you go to bed tonight, stretch your neck, shoulders, your chest and back, your arms and legs. Get on the floor and stretch all the way from your fingertips to your toes. Oh, and I can just hear you making those cute little sounds!

After the stretch class, everyone will go back to their hotel rooms to slumber. Did you work out today? Good for you! We have a busy day tomorrow, so get ready!

Love,
