[Guest guest]

GET OUTTA TOWN!

Monday, 14 November 2011

No, I wasn't saying that to you! But that's

what I'll be doing this morning. Today, I leave for

New York City. It's a long flight over to NYC from LA

so I've got my latest novel to read on

the way.

Every hour or so, the flight attendant passes through

the cabin with a little snack basket. Oh, how I

really want to grab that Twix candy

bar but, thankfully, the snack basket also contains a

couple of bananas, oranges and big pretty red apples.

(Thank goodness!)

I'll have two days of press

in New York City on Tuesday and Wednesday.

I also like chatting with some of my fellow

passengers. And, lots of times, someone will ask me

to pose for a photo with them. So...I strike a

pose! LOL.

I'll have two days of press in New York City on

Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm so excited because one of

the shows I'll be doing isThe Show.

I've done her show before and I just love . Her

staff always makes me feel welcome and so at home.

And oh yeah, in each dressing room, there's always a

basket of snacks waiting for the guests. (Oh my, I

just can't seem to get away from those snack baskets!

LOL.)

Some of the people who work on 's show have been

in the TV business for years so I've known some of her

staff members for decades. I'll also be taping some

pieces for CNN and The

Dr. Oz Show. (I'll let you know when they're

going to air.)

I'm also going to teach a

big exercise class for the students at Ohio State

University.

After my press day is done on Wednesday, I'll

be taking another flight over to Columbus, Ohio. I'm

going there to teach a big exercise class for the

students at Ohio State University. This is gonna be

fun!

A lot of students have already signed up for my class

and I can't wait to see them all! I'll be teaching a

full one-hour sweatin' class, just like I do at

Slimmons. I've chosen my music and I'm gonna have

those students sweatin' to some hot hits I've selected

from the top of the Billboard and iTune music charts. Get ready

OSU, I'm gonna have you sweatin' up a storm!

After class, I'll take some time to meet as many

students as I can before flying off to Los Angeles so

I can teach my regular class at Slimmons Thursday

night.

You know, it's hard work going to college. You have

classes all day and, lots of evenings, you're in the

campus library studying or in your dorm room getting

ready for that big exam coming up the next day. And

because they're usually so busy, lots of college

students don't make the time to exercise or eat

healthy. (Hey, you can't live off Top Raimen noodles,

ya' know!) So It's my job to set these students

straight. I'll remind them that while they're feeding

those minds of theirs with knowledge, they must not

forget to take good care of their

bodies, too!

I'm looking forward to meeting the faculty and staff

at Ohio State. By the way, I'll be teaching

sweatin'classes at some other U.S. colleges this

year. My next appearance will be at the University of

California, Riverside.

Those college students can

learn a lot from their professors but I've got a

thing or two to teach them, too.

Those college students can learn a lot from

their professors but I'vegot

a thing or two to teach them, too. I'm talking about

the importance of taking good care of themselves.

Yes, a mind is a terrible thing to waste but hey, so is your

body!

You can bet, I'll get my own workouts in and eat

healthy while I'm on the road this week. And I

hope...you'll be doing the same! Is that a

deal?

Love,
