Totally stolen from Booyah....
This weekend I made fabulous cards with Elizabeth. I would post pictures, but I have none and I can't remember what they looked like. I had a fab time with the OTHER Annmarie, she spells her name all wrong, but she is a doll nonetheless.
Saturday morning, I got up and was off to the beach with Miss Millie for an awesome morning hike. I am also reveling in my new Body Bugg. I had been thinking about buying one for a couple years after seeing it on the Biggest Loser. Well, since I have been trying to lose the same 20 pounds for 20 years now, I decided to step up my A game and see what the Bugg could do for me. It's awesome! It tells you, based on fancy pants science, how many calories you burn no matter what you are doing. Then you enter in your food and it tells you how many calories you consume and what your calorie deficit is. (3500 calories = 1 pound). My goal is to lose the 20 pounds by Christmas, which I think is more than reasonable.
The purchase of the Bugg made me realize, I really need to get off the couch too. I broke up with my gym, Curves a couple weeks ago. I realized it just wasn't doing it for me anymore and I joined 24 Hour Fitness. I have 3 close by. I went to 24 Club #1, but it was small and crowded, so I don't think that we are going to have any sort of committed relationship. Tonight, I am headed to 24 #2. It's a Sport club, so it's bigger and has a pool. I like the idea of having a pool, but we'll see. Bally's had a pool, but it was not a pool I would ever swim in.
Oh, I was supposed to be talking about my weekend.
It rained Sunday.
The end.

20 pounds by Christmas is TOTALLY do-able!! And you WILL do it!! :)
ReplyDeleteSwitching from Curves to 24 Hour Fitness was a good move, in my opinion! My experience with Curves was not a good one. It was more of a social thing for all the other women there and not all that challenging.
The owner of that particular franchise wouldn't let you come more than three times per week and you couldn't go through the rotation more than three times. I didn't even start to sweat until halfway through the last cycle!! I found it to be a joke!
But at least 24 Hour Fitness is open when it's convenient for YOU to go and no one can tell you what to do or how long to do it.
Anyway, good luck with the weight loss...and don't worry too much about the condo. I know it's easier said than done. And I also know that when you're in the middle of those sucky situations, it's so hard to NOT think about it. But a year from now it will be done and over with. You will have moved on from it and you will start to breathe again.
Try to focus on the things you still have...a furry friend who loves you more than it loves itself!! That's why dogs are sooo awesome! :)
Wow, that sucks that your Curves was that way. I went to Curves 4 times a week and I worked really hard at it, but the workouts never changed. Eventually, I got bored and wandered off, and of course the wandering was only to the couch!!
