SLIMMONS MEMORIES

Saturday, 07 June 2008

Now, which songs do I choose to play at Slimmons today to get everyone's bodies really rocking? (And oh, how I just adore doing that.) Hmmm, there are some new songs by Donna summer and Madonna that I really like. I'm just so excited when I go to Slimmons to teach class. I have to say, Slimmons has certainly become a regular tourist attraction! See, all of these tourist buses drive by my house all day long and now they've begun driving my Slimmons on Saturday mornings, too.

As a matter of fact, sometimes the tourists get out of the bus and come take class with us! Several of the tour bus drivers have even joined us! Oh my goodness, I think that Slimmons is on its way to becoming one of the Wonders Of The World.A couple of weeks ago, a lady came into the studio with her daughter to take class with us. When she saw me, she came up and said to me, "I have something for you .""What is it," I asked?"It's a photo of you I took way back in 1977," she told me. "It was taken right here at Slimmons when I had my bridal shower here 31 years ago! And today, I've brought my 28 year-old daughter with me to experience one of your classes for herself!"I looked at the picture and there I was holding the top of the cake from her bridal shower. (I looked like a kid, honest!) Oh, so many memories flashed into my head from seeing that photo.

And just a couple of days ago, another lady came in with pictures of me when I appeared at Circus World in Florida. That was way back when I was on General Hospital.

I'm telling ya', so many memories find their way to me at Slimmons! Every time I go to the club, it just feels like a party! I get to meet people from my past right along with the brand new people I've met who just want to rock their bodies and sweat with me and the rest of the Slimmons gang.Last Monday, I had my annual complete physical and I do mean complete. LOL. When my doctor called with my results, he told me, ", all of your test results were perfect! You have the body of a 30 year-old. Whatever you're doing, keep on doing it and you'll live to be a hundred!"And you all know what I do, don't you? It's exactly what I've taught at Slimmons all of these years. Healthy eating, lots of sweatin' and good old-fashioned motivation.

So I wonder who'll come into Slimmons today...maybe with another memory for me. I'll let you know!Love,
