Spring Update

May 07, 2009

Well it looks like spring is finally here and getting outside and moving more is definitely a good thing. I joined Curves about 3 weeks ago and really enjoy going - the owner, Renee, is close in age to me and a little 'fluffy' herself - most of the women are in my age range and none of them are 'hardbodies' which makes it much more comfortable. And they all talk! The one thing I really didn't like about Kirkwood was that nobody talked to me - I always felt out of place there, but at Curves I feel very much at home, and a lot of that is due to Renee's personality and friendliness.

So right now I'm doing Curves 3 times a week and have just gotten back on my bike, plus I'm walking the dog more often - hopefully the combination of those 3 things will help get the scale moving again. I really would like to knock off another 25 to 30 lbs. I'm thrilled with where I am now but that would put me in a much healthier BMI range and I know that plastics would be much easier with the rest of that excess weight off.

A lot of the girls out here are having plastics now and its very encouraging reading about these new journeys of theirs as I hope to be on that one day myself. I have made an appt with my PCP for next Friday to document some issues I'm having with the excess skin - mostly in my hips and knees and my sense of balance. I feel like a teetering old fool sometimes!

Hope to see some measurements change next week at Curves, too - never measured myself (bad girl) but now I have something to go on.
