ARE YOU READY?

Monday, 28 April 2008

Go-o-o-o-d morning, everyone! Let's rise and shine and head straight for our exercise room! It's in the ship's huge show room called the Taj Mahal! And guess what? It looks just like the Taj Mahal in India. The room is simply breathtaking and all week long, it's where we'll be holding our daily exercise classes.

I'm going to get everyone up for some early morning exercise so they can stretch their bodies and muscles a bit and awaken themselves for the busy day ahead! After a brief Rise & Shine workout, we'll celebrate the birthdays of March and April. Those would be Pisces, Aries and Taurus. And their traits are compassion, leadership and determination. After we're done, we'll head down for breakfast.

I've gotta tell you that I just love breakfast. I love to have fresh fruit in the morning. And I also love oatmeal and Eggs Benedict. Ooops! Did I say that? You know, some of the women in my group would just beat me up if I ordered that for breakfast! But today I may treat myself to a couple of scrambled eggs with a little parmesan cheese.

After breakfast, we'll meet in the Butterflies Lounge to play a great game. Last year, to help everyone learn, we integrated our questions and answers into a game show format. This year, we'll do it with the format from Trebek's Jeopardy! This year's episode of Cruise To Lose Jeopardy! is designed to help us learn why we "feed" our emotions.You know that overeating often begins with our emotions being tested. And we have to know what those emotions are and why they cause us to run to food. We'll divide the members of our "studio audience" into two teams and a member from each team will join us onstage to compete in the game.We're also going to talk about the six steps to loving yourself and winning. When someone orders the Sweatin' To The Oldies series in DVD, they get an additional DVD. It's a copy of our show called Love Yourself And Win. I think a lot of people will learn a lot from this seminar.

Oh, and we have our Webbie Mixer today, too. There are a lot of Webbies on the ship with me. And though they talk online together all the time, many of them have never met each other face-to-face. (Including me.) But now I'll be able to put a sweet face together with those Clubhouse member names I've learned. Those people on the cruise who are not Webbies will be welcome to join the Mixer too, of course. They may even want to join the Clubhouse after meeting some of the great people in our Club!After lunch, are you ready to sweat? We're having our first official, hot and unplugged Sweatin' exercise class! I can't wait to hit the stage and see everyone out there dancing with me. After class, everyone will rush to their rooms, take a little break before getting all dolled up for our first formal dinner tonight. And after dinner, Janet P. will present a class called Covering The Basics. We really like for everyone to make this class, especially our first-time cruisers. Because in it, they'll be able to ask all of their questions and have any concerns they may have addressed. After that class, it's off to beddy-bye land to get ready for our third day at sea. I hope you've been staying on program!Love,
