Well, here it is January already. I'm kickin' off the new thread.

If you are going to Curves or are curious about Curves, this is the thread for you. If you want more information about Curves, we'll gladly tell you what we know from our own local affiliates, but you would be better off stopping into your local chapter and getting firsthand information. They seem to all have weird hours, usually something like: 7:30 AM-12pm and then open again 3ish to 7ish. Indidviual hours vary. So don't try going in on your lunch break. I believe they are all pretty much closed on Sundays.

We pretty much just post about our trips to Curves, how it was and maybe some goals. We sometimes get off-topic, but quickly return to our Curves discussions.

Feel free to join us, we're a friendly group of gals.

The goal (resolution) was 3 times aound 3 times a week.

Day 1--- 2.25 times around. I haven't been for a week, and it was major crowded today. I hated taking up space with people crowding to get in. ---Is that rationalization or what? I will make sure that I do those extra laps before the week is over.

I'm back to my "normal" (i.e. horrendous) calendar at work, but I did get to curves on the way home today.

It was a tad busy this morning too. But we always have plenty of machines to go around. I went around 3.5 times. I'm shootin for 4 times on Weds. It sure helps when there are people there to talk to.

Hey Judy, at least you went!!!!!! I sometimes cut it short when I'm in a hurry, but now that the holidays are over, I feel I can devote a bit more time to it.

Boy do I understand that statement. Classes start tomorrow, and because of what I teach, I will have all new students -- it's just like the beginning of school each semester. (And, to tell the truth, it doesn't bother me at all to have a whole new batch of students. Sometimes the old ones have used up the last bit of good humor.)

Haircut at 4:30 tomorrow.......... Will I make it to Curves afterward?? I doubt it. We're going out to buy a TiVo. I have become such a TV junkie this season that I can't stand it that 24 will be on opposite Desperate Housewives and Alias will be on opposite West Wing, and Judging Amy is on opposite NYPD Blue. I really hate to tell that on myself.......... Let's just let it be our secret.

Hi and Happy New Year! I saw lots of New Year's resolutions walking in the door of my Curves yesterday morning. LOL! It's usually somewhat crowded when I go, but yesterday it was crazy. I didn't know so many people could get out of bed at 5 in the morning to go work out! My goal is the same - work out 4 times per week - so I'm off to a great start!

Make a great day!

I hope I can make it to Curves tomorrow morning. We're supposed to get dumped on all night long, so we'll see if the roads are passable in the AM. If they are, I'm going to head straight there and back home. Who knows what it will be like out there.

Marilyn, I'm heading down your way the 14th for my niece's college graduation party!!!!! I'll wave a "HI" on my way through Flourrisant!!!!!

Did I say that I was going to do three laps three times a week? What was I thinking? There is entirely too much couch potato in me to get to that point right now. Maybe I'll use that idea as a future goal. I did manage to do the standard two laps (+ a little) three times this week.

** Barb........ TiVo is great! You gotta get one.

Only made it three days this week - M,T,W. Thursday was a weather day from he// and I don't feel guilty since I got two serious workouts with shoveling snow, and then later ice and sleet. Friday, I worked too late. This am, we had an ice storm and I didn't want to even try to get near my glassed over car. Don't know if they were even open, given the conditions. Not a great week for me.

I am so glad I don't live where there is snow and ice on a regular basis. I just don't think I could handle it.

I missed both friday and today, wasn't feeling so good. I had a stiff neck and an earache and I don't even have a cold...........knock on wood. Hopefully I will get in my walkaerobics tomorrow if I feel up to it.

Got to curves all 3 days this week. Had my weigh in on Friday-was pleased with the results seeing how I was so bad through the holidays. lost 3 lbs, 3 inches and 1.00 body fat-total for 3 months is 13 lbs-24.25 inches and 9.80 body fat so Iwould say i'm on the right track.

Maggie,wasn't that ice storm yesteday just awful? we made a quick trip to town about 8AM and roads were horrendous-by the time we headed back at 9-it was all snow. Only got about 3 inches of snow but we did break the sleds out around 5PM for two hrs. The trails were horrible-no where near enough snow on the ground but hey, I got 2 hrs of exercise so I guess that makes up for it. My arms are sore today trying to manuver around ice holes and water.

Ya know, i never thought about increasing my times around the circuit until reading this. Think I might do that and it will give me that little extra that I've been needing.

Barb-hope you're feeling better. Luckily I have not had an earache since teenage years-the wind would cause mine. I am however, getting DH cold that he was down with for 3 days last week. Going to up my green tea and vitamin C next few days.

Tina, nice stats from you weigh-in!!!! GOOD GOIN'!!!!!

I feel better today, woke up stiff-neck-free. YAY!!!! So since it's sunday, I'm planning on breaking out the walkaerobics dvd. And hopefully will make it to Curves tomorrow. I'm going to shoot for 3 days this week, but DD and I are heading down to St. Louie next friday for my niece's graduation party, so we'll see if 3 days happens. (Hopefully none of that frozen precipitation will mess the travel plans up!!!)
