My Story
To enter or to not enter...that is the question...Am I an amazing person? I sure hope so! My daughter says, "yes, mom you are amazing!"...but then all daughters say that about there mom's don't they? Heather, who works at Curves suggested that I enter the contest..I've been going to Curves for the past two years with a plan in mind. Two years ago I needed to start making some changes in my life. I am an over-eater...and I smoked a pack and a-half a day. I joined curves with the idea that I would give myself one year to lose weight, get fit and then I would quit smoking. A year went by, I lost 15 pounds and 15 inches. I quit smoking as of April 1st, 2008. Part of the plan was that I would allow myself the weakness to fall off the diet for the first year of my non-smoking life. I kept up going to curves through-out this next year. My Curves buddies helped me with getting me through that first year of non-smoking. I did gain the 15 pounds back and another 10 to boot. Oh well! I was O.K. with that because I knew that once the year was done, I would find the strength to lose it again. So, here I am...a 55 year old non smoker who is going to take off the pounds, get into shape and be amazing! I'm feeling really confident about this...I've already lost 8 pounds from where I started. My Curves buddies are cheering me on...I feel I can and will be a success story....I would like to post my progress weekly....I hope it inspires other women to quit smoking, get fit and to join curves. I love going to curves...I go for the great work-out program, but mostly for the interchange and support I get from the other ladies. July 10th...down 14 1/2 pounds.....July 25th...down 17 pounds total.....
