Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003Curves Update
I haven't measured at Curves for almost two months. I haven't been concentrating on weight loss recently due to job stress and a terrible bout of sinus infection and allergies that curtailed all activities for a couple of weeks. Tonight I decided to bite the bullet and do the weight and measure routine. It was better than I had expected. I haven't lost one inch anywhere, gained 1/4 pound but lost 1.2% BF! I was rather pleased with that result. They're currently having a monthly challenge and I decided to join it. My goal for this month is to lose 3 pounds. It's back to journaling in fitday, Curves workout 3 times a week and add more exercise at home. Maybe I'll even be able to get that bosu ball out. It's still sitting in the garage in the box. I've been busy painting the last couple of weeks but I hope to be done with that chore this weekend. Here's hoping I meet my goal this month. Beverly That is great about the BF, Beverly. Don't worry too much about having to take off a few weeks due to sickness. Just get back on that horse and ride it! -- Email me at: perpleglow(AT)comcast.net > I haven't measured at Curves for almost two months.

(I did make it there 3 times this week.) My location is doing "incentive month": for each visit, you get a "Curves buck." Three visits in one week: 5 extra. Lose 3 pounds, 5 extra. Lose 3", 5 extra and so on. At the end of the month, there's to be a "silent /Chinese auction of "curves gear " and other goodies. Frankly, there's nothing that I want to "win," but I'd like to pile up the bucks. <g> Ann, who got the shirt last weigh-in > > That is great about the BF, Beverly.

Hope your allergies fade away, as well. I will admit that I felt much better after working out today. Seemed to sweat some of the cold right out of my body. In any event, you certainly must have developed some good habits that stuck with you if over two months of not concentrating you only gained 1/4 lb! I know I could do that in 10 minutes.

The weather has finally turned colder and the allergies are on the mend. After all these years I think I have the eating under control. I haven't overdosed on ice cream for ages and the vending machines no longer call my name. I was able to workout three times this week and feel much better.

DH does the dishing (and he's inclined to fill a cereal bowl. Now, I have him give me "one small scoop" (and that, less than once a week). He can afford a bowlful, I can't!

I haven't [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Ann I never bring ice cream home unless the granddaughters are over for the weekend. Then I only buy enough for each of us to have a dish. We've started popping corn instead of indulging in ice cream lately. There's an ice cream shop on one of the local bicycle trails. Sometimes we include a stop there on our rides but they don't carry my flavor trigger, Cordial Cherry, so I often skip it. The longer I stay away from it the less I crave it. Beverly they don't carry my flavor trigger, > Cordial Cherry, so I often skip it. The longer I stay away from it the less > I crave it. > > Beverly I find the craving pretty much gone as well. I was a dish a night ice cream eater. Breyer's Cherry Vanilla is my trigger. It's the only "lumpy" falvor I like. DH likes Rocky Road and Moose Tracks and all those chock-full-of-stuff kinds. The freezer could be full of them and I could resist, no problem. Heck, I think it is! Ann > I haven't measured at Curves for almost two months.

You should be really pleased that you were able to maintain your weight without really concentrating. The bf% change is cool :) Enjoy the challenge. Ours isn't doing one this month, they're starting some kind of contest in December.

Ours isn't > doing one this month, they're starting some kind of contest in December. We had some unusually warm weather the last couple of weeks but it's finally getting back to normal November weather. My allergies should calm down with the first hard freeze. My grandaughters and I took a bike ride during the nice weather and by the time I returned home my sinuses were on fire and it was all downhill from that point. Our Curves has challenges setup for the next three months. We can earn 'Curve bucks' for different things such as losing a few pounds or inches, working out 3 times a week, etc. Hopefully it will get me into losing mode again. Winter has never been an easy time for me to lose weight but I'm planning on changing that trend this year. Beverly > Our Curves has challenges setup for the next three months.

I saw the asst. mgr. sorting out the old curves bucks the other day. Things are kind of messed up because the mgr. is going to be on indefinite medical leave so she was trying to get everything sorted out for the asst. and the techs. S'ok, I just go to work out. I've already won a lot of contests there so I don't participate in them as actively.

I was really pleased with the BF change. It's becoming more important than actual weight loss as I near my goal. Beverly > They're currently having a monthly challenge and I decided to join it.

With journaling and exercise, 3 lbs sounds like a goal you can reach this month -- good luck to you! Mary M > > They're currently having a monthly challenge and I decided to join it.

Will you *please* get out that bosu ball and play with it for me? I want to know how much fun it is. Good luck with your goal, Beverly! SignatureWalking on . . .

I spent the better part of this evening clearing out the exercise/sewing room. It had become a dumping ground for things that didn't have a home. Hopefully I now have the floor space for the bosu ball. Maybe I'll get it out tomorrow if we can finish the painting in the rental unit. My ex son-in-law is up from South Carolina this weekend and he has been helping. Beverly |
