Cathe Road Trip 2010

I had an absolute blast at the Cathe Road Trip this weekend! The energy you feel when you are surrounded by so many people that love fitness is amazing! I met a ton of wonderful people that I can now call friends. If you ever get a chance to go to a weekend like this, do it!


 Cathe and I at the Saturday night dinner.
  
My big win!
This was right before the first class. 

I met quite a few women at the registration alone and knew this was going to be so much fun. 
My friend Sarah and I with Wendy. 

The courtyard where we had many of our meals. 
Group photo time!Our fearless leader, Cathe!Here I am having a ton of fun! 
Keeping up : )  
Getting ready for stretch class, ahhhh....
Our fabulous DJ, Tim.
If you've never stayed at the Loews Coronado Resort, it's fabulous! Everyone said the food was fantastic and it looked great! The views are amazing too. Water views from every room! I am so glad I went and that I went with such a great friend! We definitely needed time away and this was just what the doctor ordered. If Cathe ever comes our way again, I'm there!

    There was such a mix of people Judy. I would say 75% of the group was in good shape, 10% were in okay shape and 5% were in amazing shape! I was glad to be in the middle of the pack. There were even a few men there with their wives. It was so great!

    I just thought of a question for you! How do you eat when you go to a conference like this or when you are out with friends and family? I'd be curious to know :) and what do you do when faced with a temptation? thanks!

    Hey Megan,

    I took about 8 Raw protein bars that weekend. I also took some apples, bananas, oranges, my own salad dressing and 6 Raw Kombucha drinks. Kombucha is great and really helps me keep my energy up. If I get tired, I want to overeat. Don't do that!

    When I go out to eat or over to someones house, I always have my handy dressing so I can have a salad. If I go to Mexican food I have hot carrots and guacamole but just make sure it doesn't have any dairy in it. I tell them I'm allergic I know they tell me the truth.

    If it is too difficult to do any of that I just eat before I go out. Nobody cares. I have willpower, it's called OCD. I'm very particular so there is no varying from the routine, ever! It has it's downsides, trust me : )
