To say that Saturday was a jam-packed, exercise-filled day would be a major understatement to say the very least. I am not sure I have ever been quite so exhausted but in a good way. The energy and enthusiasm from everyone - especially Cathe - just keeps you going. I cannot begin to describe what it's like to be working out WITH Cathe not just "to" Cathe. Even more amazing - all the other women (and 2 men) who were there for the same exact reason: love of and respect for Cathe.
It is an awesome thing to be surrounded by so many people who are enthusiastic about fitness and health. Not many people around me seem to know who Cathe is, so it's also soooo much fun to be around so many who know who she is and work out to the same DVDs.
I will totally admit being a bit star struck when I got to talk to her and have my pictures taken with her. But she is so incredibly down to earth and friendly. She's not just that way on the DVDs, she IS that way period. She is a tiny bundle of spunk. It is so obvious that she truly, 100 percent, appreciates every single person there. She made it a point to make sure to hug and speak with each person. And, cynics may think, "well duh, look how much money she makes off you guys buying DVDs, equipment, etc." No, she's very truly touched by everyone. Not sure how to really put it into words. The absolute icing on the cake was meeting Jessica and Jolene and getting to workout with them.
Here are a few more pictures. Right now we are in Philly trying to figure out where we might have dinner. And, for the record, I am beyond exhausted... Bedtime may come around 6pm (maybe sooner).
