Go to Curves 3 days a week.

I can now comfortably say that Curves is now a part of my routine.

I stopped going last year because it was super hot in the summer and they don’t like to turn on the AC. S@#%! Then the AC broke and the heat was unbearable. I started going to another Curves that was never stingy about turning on their AC, but as Curves politics go, I went back to my home Curves.

Being that I needed to add strength training into my workout routine, though, Curves seemed like the perfect option to introduce me back into it.

Adding a new item in my routine is so mentally difficult! But nevermind that – the important part is I got over hurdle of starting it – that itself is half the battle. I am currently working on my second week. (The weather’s also a little cooler, so AC isn’t so much of a problem anymore)

Two more weeks of this and then I can check this off my list!

so I can be sure to accomplish this goal every week. I only went once last week – closed on Labor Day, and I went to needle point class at the church on Wed.

I’ve decided that I will focus on this goal and once I get into a routine, I’ll start on my other goals (walking on the treadmill and diet). It’s really important that I get the exercising done so I can lose weight.

but I made it. I didn’t work as hard as I should have today, but I showed up. Yay me!

did I get to Curves today, I walked on the treadmill too. Yay me! This is harder than quitting smoking was for me.

Well, I didn’t get there three times this week, but I got there today AND I walked on the treadmill. Hopefully I’ll get there next week. Baby steps…

I like Curves & went 5 times weekly for a year or so. Then I changed jobs, & the Curves hours didn’t fit with my new job. Now I work out at home to videos. Been thinking about going back to Curves on Saturday mornings, just to get in some muscle training.

Curves became quite a bore to me, so I canceled my membership. But I am still exercising and going to the gym, just not at curves.

got too bored. Going to a gymn now with child care

Except for my time on vacation, this goal is going well. I am enjoying getting to know other women who come in at the same time that I do. It’s been fun hearing about a planning wedding, a job change, a strong mom-daughter relationship. And, I am feeling better…a bit stronger. I find myself thinking more “healthy” thoughts and trying to eat better.
