Thanks Sea and Lum! I use to be a member about 3 years ago, I am enjoying it! I am going with my best friend, because I have to be pushed. Anyway, I did start stretches last night and they really only want me to go around twice now. I did aerobics last winter and this is much easier on me at Curves 9/28 45 Minutes Curves 20 Minutes Walking Group TFY - 34,764

Welcome, Nynana!!! Glad you decided to join us! As for the "Curves shapes", at my local you will find not too many slim and trim ones. Most of us are overweight to one extend or other, you know real regular folks. If it had been the stereotypical buff crowd I'd had backed out the first day. It could be the time of day I get there, but the average client I see is between 30 and 80 (we do have one 85 yo member), with the majority 40 to 60ish, won't be asked to do a Playboy layout any time soon and is plucking along just like I am. It's those few young buff types who are feeling out of place; and my heart bleeds for them.LOL My gosh, Sea, how high up do you live??? A full hour to just vacuum those steps?

Welcome Nynana! For most folks, slow and steady is the best way to start out. You'll know when you can (and should) begin challenging yourself more. Boredom can be just as big a threat as burnout is when it comes to sticking with a workout program. Good luck! I've really been enjoying my workouts this season. It feels good to back in the swing of things. Happy exercising, everyone!

OK, so I'm a loser. I got my fat *ss to the gym today for the first time in two weeks. And I got there at 5:18 for what I thought was a 5:30 class. Well, the class started at 5:15 and I was too late. I haven't been to the gym in a few weeks because I've had a lot going on and been sick and a little depressed.

LOL, Lumbele.. I didn't even vaccuum toe stairs that day! I did 7 loads of wash which involved many trips up and down the stairs and I vaccuumed the upstairs which took time as well.. It was aerobic but I'm grateful that I can actually do that activity since my knee operation. Oh and vaccuuming takes lots of time because i'm also rearranging and straightening stuff plus the cats "decorate" the place in litter so nicely. Yankee, Rhonda Britten, one of the life coaches for Starting Over, described in one book how after a period of depression after a divorce, I think, she finally got started again working out and the first day all she did was get dressed and drive by the gym.. so you made it inside today.. tomorrow, who knows? Nynana, I like Curves because of the other women.. we have a great book exchange going there and I can find out anything about my area.. like today I wanted to buy a suitcase, but the luggage outlet was gone.. went to Curves and while I was there I got about 20 good suggestions of where to buy luggage, including where there is a luggage outlet. LOL10/04: 45 minutes Curves workout 30 minutes walking 10/05: 45 minutes Curves workout 30 minutes vaccuuming, walking, etc. TFY = 15,259 minutes Group TFY = 35,476 minutes

Awww, Yankee.... Don't beat yourself up. Sometimes it is hard. I hope you feel better soon. I'm in a rut, too. It's taking me forever to get back on a regular schedule. Seems like I come home in the evenings these days and all I want to do is collapse. I may have to hire a personal trainer to get me out of this slump! Hi Cher!
