I think its a great idea to check in here on what you're feeling and doing.

 

Joan- Have the chocolate for breakfast if your worried. I do thta sometimes and figure I will work it off during the day so I don't feel guilty.

I have about 10# stuck on me that won't budge.  I figure if I could tone up the mid section it would be better.  It's getting out there and exercising that's the problem.  Anyone do Curves here?  A friend and I are thinking about starting up at the one here in town. 

Bluebyrd,

 

I was manager of Curves in AR when we lived there for three years.  It is a wonderful program and very successful.  I found most ladies lost inches easily by coming four days a week...that 4th day a week workout did so much more than just the three days.

 

I would recommend visiting and having a free trial workout at the Curves near you....see how you like it!  There are managers of Curves (like in every business) that are good and will get out on the floor and really motivate you.  I've visited some Curves where the help just sit behind the desk and don't do much.  I was always on the floor with my members and made sure each member knew exactly how to get the most out of their workout...understood the machines....made sure heart rates were being taken....and that stretches were always done at the end of the workouts.  I often brought in nutritional speakers....and also offered a low-impact class at 7:00 after we closed. 

 

Wishing all the best.....when our bodies are strong...our spirits are strong...and it's the one thing we can do for ourselves....no one else can do it for us.

Doesn't it just drive you nuts that some men can eat and eat and not gain?!  My dh is one of them.

 

I am trying to keep up with my exercise and watch what I eat.

Jean- you go gal! Keep in shape for that young hubby! LOL! Thats great! Is Curves a place you go to weekly for weight in? Do you make yuor own food or buy theres prepared? I will have to check this one out since I don't know about it.

Angelbear- you prepare your own food- Curves does have cereal and energy bars in the stores in most areas. We weigh in every month and also get measured- they also check your body fat.
