Journey Beyond Survival

I grouped the following together because they had similar questions: Leslie "What were some of the sessions? Could you pick which you attended? Did you meet Roni?" Yes, I met Roni. She was so sweet, and she remembered me because I was a whiny brat trying to come. I was flattered. KatDoesDiets "I want to hear about what you learned in the sessions? What were the most valuable things to you?" I liked the one about getting published best because I want to write. I really appreciated all of them though. Kyle and Darci said..."What were some of the most informative things you learned in the sessions?" Here are all of my notes from the 4 breakout sessions and keynote speaker. Completely unedited-sorry. My Facebook Page They are in the notes. Workout Mommy great pictures---and why didn't I get the chance to meet you? Your flattery gives you away. I am a shy dork sometimes. You were so popular... Really, I looked over and even headed your way a c...

The award rules: Thank the person who gave you the Sugar Doll award. Write why you were given the award. Pass the award on to 5 bloggers who have made your life a little sweeter and write how they have done that. Notify them of the award. My favorite wise-cracker Leslie who has been so supportive, that she's even made me cry a couple of times. In the good way. I don't think Leslie could ever hurt someone on purpose.

Sorry it took me till this evening to post it. Matt is inspiring b...

Hi. I'm the high strung blogger who can't sleep because she's so excited. Yep. I only got lost 10 times. So I was very late. Oh well. I was so nervous anyway. I was nervous about checking in, wearing ratty jeans and a pom-pom in my hair. Also 10 hours in a car-even with gum-gave me VeryBadBreath. Poor Check-In Girl. But you know, the hotel room was quiet and beautiful and I could do anything I wanted to at all. So I sat down and got on the internet. Very happy. Then, I got on Twitter. People at FitBloggin' were tweeting about being here . Which was sort of surreal. One of my very favorites, MrsFatass even asked where I was. Ohmygoodness. I tweetered back and before I knew it I was with her. And Steve . MrsFatass is a celebrity in my book. So nice, so friendly, so fabulous. Steve is an inspiration with his workouts. He does this torture called ARC trainer almost everyday. And he runs 5 miles outside. Which he claims is harder than the treadmill. I m...
