Well.............today is the first day of my "get it together" workout log.........

Goal.........Curves 3x week
Walk to the beach 2x/week............about 50 minutes in all

How will I do it??
Be ready to go so I have no excuses

Do this for me~
Look on it positively as a gift to myself.......

today
Nov.18,2002..........curves for women visit #1

Went to curves three times this week which is what I wanted to do.
I will walk once this weekend too about a 50 minute walk~

I am sleeping like the dead and exhausted........I am assuming that I will start feeling more energized in another week or so.......the workout is fine, but I am sooooooooo tired!! Arrrrghhhhhhhhh. But very glad I am finally excersizing!!!

Hi there, I'm new to this site, and I noticed your message about curves and your personal challenge to go 3x a week. I've been a member since May and I've yet to make it consistantly sometimes, not even making it there 3x a month...

So far this week, I've made it 2x and I'm going tomorrow- thats my plan. I went from 184-163 and then I got sloppy with my lo carbing and gained 5 pounds

I can appreciate your effort and plan on walking some also.

Good luck to you

Hi there~
welcome to the forum~
This is a great place for support and encouragment. Today was my third day going. I like it, it's a fast workout. I wonder how long it will take me to see some results??? Soon would be good!! *s*
Thanks for saying hi and hang in there...............the 5 lbs will come back off and your on your way~

What is lean for life?

Ok.......an update......I have been going to Curves for three weeks.........3 x each week.........I love it. Sometimes by the end of the day I am really dragging and I don't want to go......like last night, but go I did and I felt great................couldn't keep me away now if you tried.......I get remeasured and weighed on the 18th and I am really looking forward to it.........*keeping fingers crossed*

Well?!?! How did the measuring go on the 18th? Curious minds want to know!

Hey there~
There was absolutely no change.........exactly the same weight, same percentsge of body fat.........same measurements.............I was so dissapointed I wanted to cry.........but I didn't........I stayed and did my workout and will continue to do so..........I am damned if I am going to sabotage myself by............you know.......throwing in the towel.
I am building some muscle.........I feel better.........look better......and hopefully will show something good by next time......so stay tuned...........the saga continues~

Well you passed the first test. You finished and your going back. That so rocks. I understand how easy it would have been to quit right there but your resolve shown through. Whats curves like?

Topher

It's a circuit.........a 30 minute workout with pieces of resistance equip.........in between each is an aerobic station where you work on various body parts.......all to music............cues when to move.........all ladies~ It's fast and that's what I like......in and out and over~

I've got a friend of the family that has started out on it.


I'm also a fan of getting out the gym as fast as possible.

Do you measure heart rate and none such while there?


CJ

Yes.........every so many minutes you take your heart rate. One of the things I want to start again is walking. I live about a 10 minute walk from the beach here..................the walk I take is about 55 minutes or so,,,,,,,,,to the beach and up a long way, back and home.........especially now with my walking staff.........think I will go do that now~ thanks for your encourage thoughts today~ I hope you have a great day~ *s*

Update~
Still going to curves three times a week and walking twice............day before yesterday was the first time I was really excited and looking forward to going........felt great and I feel that way today too........maybe I have crossed that line!!! Down 140 lbs. from my highest weight!!!

Awesome... just awesome.

its great to see you upbeat and getting more energy. I noticed a great increase of feeling better about myself and physically feeling better when I started working out.. warning.. its addictive.. ask nat

Thanks!! Well.......I have been working out ~ Curves since Nov. I think..............this week was the first time I am really jazzed about it!! And that IS awesome!! Plus walking to the beach feels great.............waiting for the days to get a little longer though because I can't go till 6 pm..........last time was approached by some strange man and that kind of freaked me out........so not after dark by myself!!

This was taken a long time ago..........but it is one of my inspiration pics........on my fridge next to the Goethe statement~

Nat is doing incredibly......she is amazing!!!
