Back in May I had attended the Ultimate Women's Show in Hamilton to get some freebies ( my hobby) and while I was there I filled out numerous draws and contests in order to claim free products. I was particularly interested in the Herbal Magic booth. The female who had helped me fill out my ballot was talking in my ear about how she had lost well over 100 pounds in 9 months following the Herbal Magic program. She had starting at 310 pounds and was now down to about 200 pounds and all I could think was, "WOW". That's me right there and this girl is showing me what's possible. The truth is I actually weight more than her but regardless she had put the rat on the track and it had got me thinking.
Flash forward to last Thursday, May 31, 2012 and I received a call from Curves. I was the lucky winner of a free 1 month's membership and I was debating if I should sign-up or not. I had tried Curves previously but gave up a few weeks into the program for whatever reason. I always seem to find real bullshit excuses to get out of anything. Its something that I need to work on hence this blog. After speaking to my best friend, Nadia, we thought this is perfect!! I could stand to lose a few pound's before my boss' daughter's wedding at the end of June but secretly I am hoping it will spark a frenzy in me to get off my butt and to start moving more.
After my shopping trip from hell over the weekend what could be better then doing some circuit training at Curves. Monday was my first day at Curves and it wasn't too bad. I can't speak for Nadia but I sure broke a sweat doing their 30 minute circuit. I have to admit I'm not thrilled about the look of their Stoney Creek branch but who cares its a free month of moving in the right direction to a healthier me!!
Post workout we had to do the formal weight in and measurement. I always hate that part of any new program but you never know where you are going until you know where you have been. My weight was a shocking 350.5 pounds. What was even more shocking was my 48% body fat reading. Quick math. Half of my body is fat which mean I should probably weight half the weight I am now. Oh what I would do to weight 175-190 pounds!! Time will tell.
What am I grateful for today:
1. I have a great support system in my best friend Nadia. She knows how cranky I can get when I diet and the only thing she has to say back to me is, " BRING IT ON!! I can take whatever you can throw at me!!"
2. I'm grateful that I thought of the idea of holding myself accountable by blogging. I think it will help to keep me motivated and its a great way to let out my feeling and emotions on a daily basis.
3. I'm grateful that no matter what kind of day I have had, I can always count on my adorable bichon, Snoopy to welcome me with enthusiasm and a great smile EVERY SINGLE DAY!! love him to pieces!!
