I've been scouting the Curves that just recently moved in a few blocks from our office. Last week, I stopped in for the open house and today I went in for the body analaysis. ---I joined.

Weighed in at Curves (in clothes) at 168. Not too bad considering I'm wearing a wool suit and have been drinking tons of water all morning.
I'm about 2% above a healthy BMI and inches away from fitting comfortably into a 9/10.

Tomorrow I have an appointment at 11:00 for my first guided workout. Then, I'm off and running on my own. I think paying to go somewhere to work out during work may just be the push I need. Afterall, I can't use the excuse of not having the time after work anymore and I won't have to get up any extra early to spend 30 minutes working out. If I'm paying for it, I'd better get my arse up and get busy! Let's hope to see results..

Kim, I love the name of your journal! Very cool. I wanted to stop by your crib and see how things were looking! Looking good girl, those clothes will be loose in no time!

I LOVED my visit to Curves. Since this is the first week they are open and most people are just in there for their body analysis and first work-out, I know it wasn't like a normal session. However, my heart-rate was at my THR for the entire 30 minutes and it went SO fast! I feel like a got an awsome work-out and can't wait to go back on Friday (if not before). They kept it really cool in there so even though I did sweat, it wasn't bad and because it's a brand new facility, everything was perfect! They had babywipes, lotion, deoderant, etc., in the changing rooms. I think I've found the perfect way to achieve my exercise goal. Which is now to make it to Curves atleast 3 times per week (if not more).

I was talking to my trainer today and it came up that her husband's aunt & uncle are my next-door neighbors. Her husband is actually from my area and graduated from the same school my kids to go. We spent the entire 30 minutes talking about here and there. What a small world!

I posted a reply to my own journal like an idiot. Anyway, congrats on your first day at Curves! Sounds wonderful, even pampering! You are going to love how you feel, vibrant. I'm looking forward to seeing how you develop! yeah baby.

Okay, what I said was stop bragging about your boobage! Unless you want to make a donation, or a trade, I've got some butt to share!

enjoy!

Monday - made it to Curves for a great workout. I pushed myself a lot harder today than I did last week despite being extremey sore from our first night of Couples Bowling League. This is Curves' first official week open and it was nice working out with a few people. It was pouring down rain today though and I felt a little silly driving 3 blocks to work-out. Need to find an umbrella!

Lunch: Subway Chef Salad.

Curves today. 30 minute workout Combined 15 minute cardio/15 weights.

Some may be in your mind - but I bet it is REALLY going on. Positive feedback works no matter where it happens!

Made it back to Curves today after forgetting my clothes on Monday and being too busy on Tuesday. It's amazing how easy it is to get out of the habbit. I wasn't even looking forward to going today. I can not let this happen again. To remain faithful, I must force myself to go even when time does not seem to permit 30 minutes.

I don't feel good today. I think I'm fighting off a cold as my eyes feel all watery, I'm tired, and feel warm while my hands are cold. I'm planning on going to Curves today, but already know I'm not going to feel like it.

Been to Curves Monday & Tuesday this week. Seems to be working...
