I have been driving past the Curves at our local strip mall for four months now, wanting to go inside and see what it's all about. So, yesterday, after not being able to zip up my winter coat over my ever-expanding hips, I did it. I walked inside Curves, and made an appointment for a consultation later that day. After the consultation, and finding out that my body fat is almost 29% (gasp), I wrote a check and signed up. The lady was shocked when I told her I wanted to come the next morning at 6:30 for my first workout. I had to schedule it with her because she needs to help me learn the routine the first time through. Somehow, this morning when the alarm went off at 6 am, I got my fat self out of bed, ate a scrambled egg, and drove over to Curves in 22 degree COLDNESS.
Let me tell you: It was SO worth it! I felt so good getting my heart rate up and sweating! I'm ready to go back on Saturday morning and do it again. She said I should try for 3 days a week at first and then come more often if I can. I can't wait to make this my daily routine. I really feel good about this plan. Trying to exercise at home was just not working out for me with my kids and having no room in this apartment. I also figured, if a little money is invested in this, I will feel more motivated to uphold my end of the deal. So here goes try #736 at losing weight. Ok, I'm exaggerating just a bit. But darn it, it better work this time!
