A very GOOD Morning Ladies!
Thank you ANDRIA... need the encouagement when it comes to the water. At one time I was doing pretty good about getting it all in and then some, but began to slack off when I got busy. Don't want to stop to go potty all the time. But I DO feel so much better! I 'think' clearer and my muscles feel better when I do. I'll just make sure I set 6 - 7 bottles in the ref all set for the day (prepare more). I buy a 6 pk of bottled water then use my Britta Filter to refil them for the week. At the end of the week I buy another 6 pk. A little cheaper that way. Good to see you again !
Hi BEV ~ How are you feeling today? I bet you are looking forward to getting started at Curves
Morning ROSIEE ~ How are you doing today?
Hi LYNDA ~ Hope you are doing well today
What ever your plans I pray it is a day
FILLED with 'New Hope' and a 'Refreshed Joy' for life!
yesterday I had to take my daughter ( who is 10) to the dentist to get 3 teeth pulled. They were baby teeth and she will be getting braces soon so they need the permanant teeth. Would you believe they bleed through the night and when she went to brush this morning they started bleeding again. So know I am waiting until the dentist opens to see if they want me to bring her in or not. I have never known teeth to bleed to much.
Well, here it is, the second week I joined Curves (last week) and I only went once. I came down with this nasty sinus headache that had me all stuffed up and I just couldn't go. Actually, I probably could have, but I'll use any excuse not to go. I'm pathetic!!
But, today, I am going right after work. My husband has school, the kids will be at the sitter's an extra half hour and I'll get my workout in. I have my 15 year high school reunion in November and I want to fit into my size 16 navy blue dress suit that I have. I haven't worn it in like 6 years. I am a size 20, but I really want to get into that outfit for the reunion because I know I looked really nice in it. Is that a good goal to have or is that unrealistic?
We'll see, I just have to get my eating habits under better control. I have a weakness for chips with my sandwiches, I guess I should buy those baked ones, instead of the real ones.
Goodness, so many rules!

My hubby and I got some sad news and that's why I haven't come back to post to you all today(sorry).
A very Dear friend, Miss Dottie, passed away at 90 yrs young! She walked her T-mill and road her exercise bike every single day till just 4 weeks ago when she took ill again. She was dying of cancer & has been for many years. Ever have someone just "light-up" when they saw YOU come in the room? That was Dottie! Whenever she would see me she would say "there's my sweetheart... how are you doing precious" Never wanting to speak of her problems and always there for yours.
A Precious Gem! She will be so missed by so many!
But now the Lord gets to enjoy her company and he surely will!
Sorry this is such a bummer note... I know she's in a better place.
LADY ~ I think it's wonderful to set goals and well you should! I was thinkin' (do that once in awhile )... maybe you should try to be realistic with yourself & you should go out and buy a nice "NEW dress or outfit" for this big adventure in November. Wait till you get fairly close to the date and see what size you will need and go from there. I just don't want you to crash with disappointment if the 16 doesn't happen. What do you think?
I just know how I'd get (really bummed out!) - but the last time I had a big function to go to I did just that, waited. Then I went to Fashion Bug and found the nicest outfit to wear and felt comfortable and had a great time.
Just a thought for you.
Would love to see you have a great time!

is their "Smile " Luck!
BEV ~ Did you ever find out why your DD was bleeding so much? Is she all right!??
Well, I must get into the shower & get ready...
I have a friend to go visit.
God Bless!

Thank you for your kindness...
ROSIEE ~ Thank you so much! She was very Special and will be very missed. We have her funeral this morning @ 10 that my hubby Joe will be singing for at her request.
BEV ~ Just wanted you to know that I would be thinking of you today being it is your first workout at Curves... have fun!
To everyone else... Go out and make it a great day!
God Bless!
I am feeling so guilty ~ I didn't make it to Curves at all last week. I haven't been yet this week. The week is not over yet. I have to work tonight and tomorrow, hopefully will get there on Friday and Saturday. I work the night shift, and I have been having such a hard time sleeping on my nights off. I end up being awake half the night, then falling asleep in the day time and wasting my day off. So frustrating. There is so much stuff I need/want to get done, and I can't stay awake to do it.
I really need the exercise. Eating carefully will only take me so far. I had been losing slowly but steadly, and now the scale is going the wrong way ~ starting to creep back up ~ distressing! I was down to 204 and not very far from "onederland".
Well, gotta go get some stuff done. Hope you all are doing well.
Hi everyone, well I am back from my workout and it was great. I don't think I have ever sweat so much as I did today. I don;t know what I was so worried about. Some people talked during their workout but most just concentrated on their workout. Our curves has 8 machines ( it has only been opened for about a year.) I am going to go back thursday and friday so I can get in my three times this week. I didn;t find any of the machines difficult to do.
Fern- you can pay monthly or prepay for the whole year. I find the people to be really supportive. I am not a gym type person ( I am on the shy side) but I think I am really going to like going.
Does anyone know the difference between the members guide and the curves hard cover book. I didn;t get the members quide because I didn;t give them three names but I was wondering if I should buy these books. Right now I am doing ww but I am thinking about incorporating low carb with it.
one more thing - I did change my goal to size 10 - I figured a girl can dream can;t see ( I think I was a size 10 for about 1 year years ago.) So that is 21 inches difference from what I am now. I would be happy with a 12 though also
Sunny, sorry to hear about your friend. My thoughts are with you.
Bev. . . I think my right thigh is about a size 10. Good luck on your goal!
I did go yesterday right after work and am going to try to go today right after work. I really pushed myself yesterday on the recovery stations, I was sweating so much! I'm going to take it easier on them today and focus on the machines.
Hello, I thought I'd chime in on this thread since I recently joined curves. (I'm assuming this thread is all about curves)
So far I have been LOVING curves. When I first signed up, I was a little put off by the woman who was "helping" me. She wasn't friendly towards me, so I actually went home and thought about it. I figured, I'm not buying her, I'm buying a membership to Curves, so I went back, talked with another lady, who by the way, was very nice to me, and I signed up.
The next day they did the work out with me, to show me the ropes, and I've gone the last two days in a row by myself. It's so much fun!
At first, during the work out, I didn't feel much of anything, but once you are done, you know you've done something good! I am going to try and continue going 5 - 6 days per week.
Our local Curves is open Monday through Saturday, and they have NEW convenient late hours. It's great. Joining was the best thing I've done for myself in years!
Well, I look forward to getting to know many of you all!
Kari....I also recently joined Curves and like you I love it. no pressure, no lines, and especially no MEN around. This is one place I feel I will actually stick to doing.
Tuesday

and that's why I haven't come back to post to you all today(sorry).
