A year ago today, after months of avoiding the place, I went back to Curves.
On August 12, eighteen days after my first workout back, I had my first measure-in/weigh-in since that February. The news wasn’t good. At 140, I weighed more than I’d ever weighed. While I wasn’t overweight, I didn’t feel good, physically or [...]

Last August I weighed 140 pounds.
This is a photo taken of me right before my August 2008 Curves weigh in, which is when I got back on the exercise horse.
I wasn’t overweight by any stretch of the imagination, but I wasn’t feeling well, physically or emotionally, at that weight. In fact, I used that photo [...]

In March, I worked out at Curves 13 times. Twelve workouts a month averages 3 times a week, which is what Curves recommends. I can’t remember the last time I had 12 workouts in a month, though I’d *just missed* that mark the last couple of months. I don’t think I’d EVER worked out 13 [...]

As opposed to last month’s sad story, this month at Curves I lost 1.5 pounds and 3.25 inches.
Not that you want (or need) to know all the details, but if I write them down I’LL have them when I want them again. :)
So for “the record,” here goes.
August 11, 2008/September 12, 2008 (total gained or [...]

It is so much easier to make myself go the gym when I feel human…
Seriously, I think a lot of my Curves “issues” had to do with some health stuff… not just acute stuff, such as my recent sinus/double ear infection that kept me out of the gym for 12 days, but also some other [...]

Last Monday at the gym, I weighed 140.
Today at the gym, I weighed 139.5.
And I am fairly certain I’ve lost fractions of inches in a few places. My abdomen and waist feel and look different than they did even a week ago.
Yay me! :)

When I went back to Curves last month, I knew I was basically starting over.
Monday I learned just what “starting over” means. Between my February 23 workout (when I THOUGHT I was starting over but wasn’t really) and today’s workout, I gained 6 inches and 7 pounds (a total of 13 inches/pounds gained).
When I compare [...]

Hot on the heels of my triumphant return to Curves, my husband joined a gym yesterday. Today he went. He did cardio and three weight machines… Yay for Ed! :)
Now I really don’t have an excuse not to work out. And that’s a GOOD thing!
