doing great doing great!!!! hurray! It has been a long time in coming. joining curves has been the greatest thing for me. I have noticed that if I miss a few workouts with curves I tend to try and make up for it at home by doing some free weights. I have only had two workouts so far this month at curves but I had the flu last week. I have worked out with weights about 4-5 times. I would not have done that before! I just need that accountability!!!!

Sept weigh in after one month of curves (working out about 3 times a wk) I LOST 6.25 INCHES and gained one lb. I am so excited! (2 of that was from my waist)

I can tell that it has continued as my pants are getting more lose!
Fri: Arm free weights
Sat: Curves 30min

Hurt back at curves again two weeks ago. (that dumb machine!) I did weights 2X and yesterday did winsor pilates fat burning workout. What fun! My clothes are fitting better!!!!! yeah. Even at this higher weight my clothes fit better than two year ago at 134!!!!!!!!!

Karen,

You are looking great!!!

Today's workout is planned...treadmill, arm workout and maybe curves. It is so nice outside I may even walk outside. Jeans are fitting more loosely. That is GREAT since a month ago they were tight!!!!!!

I need to update my picture.

Yesterday did treadmill walk/run for about 16 mins, arm workout, and rebounding about 1min. (rebounding is not too easy on my cheap trampoline!

Arm workout and crunches last night...will try and get to curves today.

Saturday was skating for 3 hours. What fun...I can't believe I am not sore. Even my dd is!!! wow.

Tonight is arm workout.
bicep curls triceps etc etc.

I am seriously considering doing a form of BFL this week. There is an official challange in April but that is right before my trip to FL. I think that I would like to try this now. I am past the date to officially start but I really need to learn more about the exercises. I have always loved weight lifting to some degree.
The website shows form and everything. It looks great. I have the weights and bench I just need the discipline and no how.

I sure will not hurt to try it!

Karen, funny that you should say this. I went halfassed jogging with my son on Thrusday. It was the farthest I have ever been able to run in years and I was not sore. As a matter of fact, my creeky knees feel better now than they did a week ago. I thought that I was getting arthritic knees a while ago. They are feeling much better without using any supplements.

Have been doing Curves 3 x week. Did leg workout twice last week. Need to do my arms again...am not on a strict schedule...probably should be.
