I Miss Curves

At the beginning of the year, I joined Curves.  I loved going, and I was seeing results.  Unfortunately, when my transmission went out and I had to replace it, my boss lent me money, and paying him back every month leaves with with very little "extra" money, so I had to quit going to Curves.  I have kept off the weight I lost, but I can see that I am not as toned as I was.  I still have about fifty pounds to lose, so when I say toned, I don't mean sculpted muscles.  I mean my belly not sticking out quite as much.

I know I can workout at home.  I have the tools to do so.  It's just that by the time I get home from work every day, I don't have the motivation.  It was easier to drive somewhere, knowing I had an obligation since I was paying to workout.  At home, it is so hard to get myself to get up and do my wii fit, or to take a walk after supper.  I don't want to take medicine or go on a pre-packaged food diet, so working out is my only option.  I think I need to find something fun to do, like ball workouts or zumba.  Or maybe I just need a workout buddy to keep me motivated.

I am happy with the "new" me, but I could be happier with a thinner me.  I have guys tell me everyday that I am pretty.  In fact, yesterday I had three different guys hit on me.  It's fun flirting back, which is something I never would have done a year and a half ago.  I love the confidence I have in myself now.

That said, I still want to say goodbye to these fifty stubborn pounds.
