Back to work, first day at the gym

So I joined the 30 days for 30 dollars Curves/Avon fitness program today!!  Like I blogged before I used to be a member of Curves and loved it.  Looks like I am gonna love it again!  I did my first workout this afternoon with one of the trainers and to be honest it wasnt that bad.  I figured since I have done more cardio than strength training it would about kill me but I guess I’m not in as bad of shape as I thought.  Dont get me wrong though, I did sweat and get out of breath!  So we will see how the next 30 days go and then I will make a decision about a longer commitment with them.

The owner also gave me a copy of the diet program they offer.  Its not the newest edition (I would have to pay 8 bucks for it) but its basically what they do.  I am gonna look it over and see how different it is from WW’s and might give it a try for a week or two to shake things up.  But I’ll never give up WW’s because I know its the only lifestyle change I can stick with.

Becky, the hint worked!!  He came straight in and aired up the bikes!  He wanted to mow so I took off by myself.  I was really enjoying myself when I started down a steep hill.  I started to apply my brakes but instead of slowing down I was building speed.  So I squeezed the hell out of them and nothing happened!  I went down that hill like Clark W. Griswold did on the saucer sled in Christmas Vacation.  I think I was probably swearing just as bad too!  For the rest of my bike ride I had to Fred Flinstone it up when I needed to slow down! 

Needless to say I had him adjust my brakes when I got home!

Ok, its quick but I gotta get.  Working out after work put me not getting home until after 5.  Then it was supper and a nice long bike ride by the river.  I need to catch up on everyones blogs but it will have to wait until later but I will check in.  Hope everyone had a good hump day!

    I’ve never done curves, I was honestly scared b/c it looked small and I thought people would stare at me. I feel like in the bigger gyms people don’t pay as much attention..I am so proud of you and I hope that scale MOVES fast ;)

    Ooooh I can remember doing that once. The breaks went in my bike and I couldnt stop when pedestrian jumped out in front of me and ended up on top of him! Cuts and bruises galore!
