Originally, I did want to lose weight but it became much more than that. You know as we age, if you don't use them, you lose them. I'll be the first to admit. I hated exercise and never had since BMT in the Air Force. Long time ago. Now I enjoy the extra strength in places I never knew I had. Yes, I've still got flabby arms. I'm declaring those hereditary.
When I was having my mini-nervous breakdown this year, and barely remember those six months of hell, I lost 10 pounds. In June, I weighed in and was lighter! Well, since things have settled down a bit, I've gained back the 10 pounds plus 1/2 pound. Actually, back up to the weight I've been since menopause and Paxil. I maintain that weight. I eat more (better) when I'm happy. Wish it was the opposite!
I am going to continue to consciously strive to eat better and maybe try to add a walk or two during the week. We have hellacious hills in our neighborhood and with my breathing issues, that will be a challenge within itself.
This was no surprise to me. I gained every single pound of it in my middle. I could feel it. Why does it always go there? Is there empty space in there needing to be filled up? Geesh.
There you have it. Difficult? Yes. I won't be posting about it the whole month, of course, but if I manage to lose anything LOL I'll let you know. I love Curves. The women there are becoming real friends and we were joking about having not only an exercise program but resident psychologists...we all support each other in so many ways. Hugs are as common as sweat and I have never left there without a smile on my face. May God watch over all of them ♥
Our Curves is very relaxed. No one ever gets beside me unless we are chatting...
There is rarely more than 4 or 5 ladies there and no young hotties...we are all older.

Hey, Debbie! Thanks for coming by and visiting me! From what I have read about Live Writer and older platforms like XP, and there are incompatibilities. But some sites recommend that you update your Explorer web browser and then give the download a try.
