Thank you, Mak1 - and I'm so glad you're enjoying some well-deserved health benefits from working out! I'm optimistic that I've finally gotten my rambling here under control. Although I just very nearly typed up an epic about holiday specials in another thread before I stopped myself, Lol.

Welcome to Lumbele and congrats to Cher & Seamonkey too.

And I almost forgot...TGIF everyone!

LOL, Lumbele! Welcome to Curves!! You can also count your stretching time, which is why many of us count 45 min (well plus I go round three times even though we have more than the basic set of machines..) The great thing about Curves is that you can find one anywhere... I've worked out in Revere and Cambridge, CT and in Fairfield and Napa, CA while away from home.

TGIF, indeed!! And Mak, you are so right.. the key is finding some exercise that you mostly feel drawn to do.

Oooooooooooh, hadn't thought of that, Sea, thanks. Mark me down for 45 then, because I stretched and stretched and stretched and still had a "stirrups" accident and pulled something. Hope to be fit for round 2 on Monday.
In the road trips I noticed, that you always go to a Curves wherever you travel, Sea. How long have you been going there, Sea and how often a week?
Thanks for the welcome, hope to become a regular in here.

Hi there. My workouts have been pretty scattered during the holidays but I have kept active. Lots of walking, snow shoveling *moan*, and other winter fun.

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the support and advice I got from this thread throughout the year. You're all terrific! Thanks for the kind words when I was feeling down, the tolerant humoring of my dorky dreams about the ocean, and the endless patience shown as I detailed my hopeless attempts to master a cartwheel and a handstand without injuring myself or destroying any furniture. Thanks for your stories about other yoga-loving cats and excitable dogs who just have to work out with you the same as mine do. Thanks for overlooking my rambling and sometimes insensitive comments.

One last ramble for the road: I just got a new exercise video catalog and even though they tried to tempt me with a new dance tape, I'm not buying any more! For a while. Unless, you know, something really interesting comes out. Anyway, it's the "New Year's Resolution" edition of the catalog and this got me thinking about what my own exercise resolutions should be (besides not buying any more workout tapes, that is). I really should try to build on what I've accomplished this year and am considering booking a session with a personal trainer just to have her check my form and maybe teach me a few tips. I'm tired of wondering "Am I even doing this right?", LOL. I'm also looking at taking an adventure trip but am really intimidated by that thought!

Best wishes to everyone. Thanks for a great year! Now it's up to me!

I've collected all the minutes reported here since Hermi's last summary post and hope to creat summaries to keep us going, or at least add a bit of incentive..

So.. if anyone wants to throw in some updates first, please go for it!!

Autumn? Calamity? Cher? Eggie? Escapee? Hermi? Mak1? Yankee? Anyone else???
I suspect that Lumbele and I are up to date..
