Re:Curves

Well that was short lived. I managed to make it 7 times within one month. Pretty proud of it. But then life got in the way. I was asked to rake a lawn in which I then ended up with back pain and had to back out of that and back out of curves, well I didn't really try to back out of Curves but after the way the week went it just seemed too hard to keep up. But I did get a revelation on how truly out of shape I am, I mean not even being able to rake a yard should probably tell me something.
So now I have to do things the old fashioned way, went with Opal to the mall yesterday and walked around the mall for about 15 minutes, then I came home and walked 30 min. on the treadmill.
Today I was over at Mom's and got another 30 min. walk in, this time outdoors.
Still looking for a partner to workout at the city rec centers, I'll update you as to how that goes.
Anyway, wasn't a total downer, did manage to get in 2 walks so far this weekend.
Hoped people liked seeing the few posts of jewellery, etc. I put up on the previous post.
Take Care.

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

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.
