re:when does it become a habit?

So I'm proud to say that I managed so far in the month of April to make it to curves 3 times a week for the last 2 and a half weeks. Sure sweated up a lot, unfortunately I don't think I've lost too much weight or inches.
But I did manage to go to H&W and get 30 dollars worth of fruits and veggies. Definitely a lot better prices for fruits and veggies.
I'm also starting a community garden either myself or with my friend M. Don't know all the details yet.
So we'll see in another 5 workouts if I've lost any inches and if the effort was worth it. Someone told me it can't just be exercise which is true because before when I'd exercise because I wasn't eating right it seemed kind of useless and I'd give up.
Now it's going to be hard eating veggies fruit I have no issues with. I even tried something called Koala Berries yesterday. Not too bad.
See ya later

Humble Beginnings

Well, I've made it to 3 workouts at Curves so far and will be going tomorrow morning as well. It's so different from when I signed up four years ago, I must have really changed. It feels like the women who run the place are so encouraging. I guess I really needed that. I thought I could be my own encouragement coach sometimes I do okay with it and sometimes not so good.
My weight hasn't dropped but I now have almost a piece of a waist, it's pretty funny. My body is reshaping itself somehow if only it would drop the weight I'd be a real happy camper.
But it says in the bible even if you don't understand things you shouldn't quit and give up.
So that's my word for the day, even if you don't understand don't quit and give up.
Have a good day.

well do I or not?

Yep, it' s me.
I decided to phone up curves today and book an appointment. It's going to really cut into my budget but I guess if it gets me in shape it's worth it. I go Wednesday. The funny thing is I went to Curves 4 years ago and I guess I didn't really have much of a commitment, it seemed every time I wanted to go they were closed or I couldn't seem to make any friends.
Not sure if it will be different now, I mean I could still try to do it the old fashioned way but at this point it's looking like I need some support, I've been trying the weight loss thing by myself and pretty well getting nowhere.
Most of my friends aren't interested in working out not that I can blame them, but I need some help.
So maybe the second time around will be better than the first.
Here goes something... or so I hope
Have a good day.

Funny how things work

I know I haven't been updating this profile lately. On March 17th I had some really bad chest pains, I think it was a heart attack, of course being myself I decided it wasn't that serious. Bad mistake! So now I need to smarten up. I realize that I was taking advantage of the system, by thinking just because my blood pressure was low and my cholesterol was low there shouldn't be any issues.
On the day before my birthday, I had eaten 3 boxes of cream puffs, and chips and dip and probably a whole case of pop and I did have really bad heartburn that day, which should probably have been a warning sign.
Anyway, because I have to take it easy until I see my quack on Wednesday I am going slow but I'm still walking. Learning a lot of about heart disease, etc.
I'm not telling you this stuff to scare you, just to consider how you're treating your body right now. The goal still is to lose 30 pounds this year, but even important now.
Take it easy
