It's Still Working!

May 20, 2009

After months of being in a stall (but thankfully not gaining!) I decided to shake up my exercise and do something about it, so I joined Curves. I love it!! I love the work-out routine and I love the facility I joined. Most of the ladies are in my age range and most have a bit of 'fluff' about them so I don't feel self-conscious in there and the best part is everyone is so friendly, including Renee, the owner. I've been going 3 times a week and supplementing with riding my bike and walking or working around the house. After my first month I have wonderful results to report!

I have lost 5 pounds and a total of 6.75" overall - in places where I didn't think it was possible to lose inches because of my loose skin, so every little bit I can tighten up is a bonus. 2" on my arms, of all places - wow! 1" off my thighs and calves and the rest off my bust (bummer) and waist and hips. So overall I am a very happy girl and I am also in a solid size 18 pants and 18 tops - sometimes even a 14-16! Imagine, me? In those sizes? It feels amazing.

And now it seems that summer has finally arrived and its great being outside and doing things - even gardening - something I have never done but I've planted shrubs and flowers and actually may do some more - we'll see! Even if I don't its wonderful knowing that I can.
