I want to say THANK YOU to all my buddies that commented yesterday.  Ladies I really felt the love and support you were sending.  Its SOOO nice knowing that while I thought I had made the right decision, that you guys have my back too.  Thats why I love this place so much!  And trust me, I missed you guys too.  Glad I got my head back on straight!

So I joined Curves today!!  And I did it without a contract or auto draft.  As I was weighing my decision last week I called the owner and talked to her.  She really didnt want to agree to taking a check each month but I told her that was the only way I was gonna join and to be honest I think she really needs the business no matter how she gets it.  So its a done deal. 

I worked out today and let me tell ya, I feel 110% better.  Not only physically but mentally too.  I was missing it alot more than I thought.  Once I got back to my office I got that post workout rush and I didnt think I was gonna be able to sit at my desk for the rest of the day.  I wanted to get up and MOVE! 

It was hard getting back into the routine.  First, from not working out for almost 2 weeks and second, I opened and cleaned my pool Sunday and I was soooo sore from that.  It took over 4 hours to get my pool cleaned and ready!  Oh my, I only thought working out was working all my muscles.  Not even close!  Monday and Tuesday I could barely walk up the stairs at work and even breathing hurt!  So today I had to take it nice and slow.  But I’ll be rocking it again soon!

Also after my workout, I felt stronger.  Mentally stronger that I can do this.  I’m not gonna talk pounds and scales…no more of that.  But I can do this lifestyle.  I just need the right tools to keep me on track.  But at the same time, I feel a huge relief.  If I go out this weekend and drink a few beers with my buddies I wont stress over it.  If my grandmother wants to eat Chinese…well, I’ll try to talk her out of it! LOL!!! 

But I dread telling my leader I wont be back after tomorrow.  Ugh, I hate doing that to her.  I probably wont mention it tomorrow.  I’ll wait and email her next week.  She has become a pretty good friend to me and I dont want her to think I am quitting because of her and trust me, she will think that. 

We are having Subway for supper tonight and then gotta run to Wally World if the storms dont blow back up.  We are starting to get everything together for our float trip and I’m not a wait until the last minute kinda person even though its two weeks away.  I bought myself a new swim top but its white.  No, I didnt want white but it was the only color in my size.  So I am hoping this other Wally we go to tonight will have a better selection and I can exchange the one I have.  Plus I need a new pair of swim shorts!  Years ago when I bought the ones I have they were too small.  But I promised myself I would get in them.  Well it took 3 years but I did last summer!  But when I put them on Sunday they were too big!  I still wore them, BIG mistake!  I had slathered myself in sunscreen from head to toe.  But I didnt think about my shorts slipping down as I squatted.  And they did and exposed parts of my body that havent seen sun in YEARS!!  Guess I had a pretty good plumber’s crack going on…and trust me, its gonna peel!!

Happy, goofy, Chris is back!  Have a great evening buddies!!!
