1st 4 weeks

Well today is Sept 30 and this will be my 4th full week at Curves. I am excited about my weigh in and measurements scheduled for next Tuesday.  I really think I've lost some inches.  I am still trying to swear off the pop until after my weigh in.  It's hard though, I love Dr Pepper!!

I have several motivations for wanting to lose weight and be more healthy.  First, my health obviously.  In 2007 my cholesterol was in the neighborhood of 270 and my doctor immediately put me on Lipitor.  On my last check up in Nov 2009 it was down to 132.  What an accomplishment!!  Second, for my kids.  I want to set a good example for them.  I want to be able to do stuff with them like roller skating and playing basketball and riding bikes.  Without the need for an oxygen mask.  Third, we are moving to Colorado and I want to be in shape so that we can do all the things we want to do there.  Hiking, skiing and so many other activities.   

The journey begins

it's Sept 2010 and I have decided that enough is enough.  I'm tired of being tired and having no energy.  It's time to get my pre-baby body back! 

So off to Curves for Women I go.  My daughter, Autumn, has decided to help and encourage me by working out with me.  What a great daughter!  :)   Sept. 2, 2010 we have our initial weigh in and measurements.  I haven't got a copy of the "before" stats but I will. 

As of today (9/29/10) we have gone 3 days a week and love it!  I can already tell a difference in the way my clothes fit.  I have more energy and feel better about myself.  WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!
