jsfantome's Journal, 02 January 2013

I have to journal early this morning, today...as I am headed out to volunteer in our church office today. Then home to run my youngest son to work - then - I am going to Curves to sign up again!

Why am I writing that? Because my brain wants to try to talk me out of it. My lazy self thinks I could do the same things at the 'cheaper' gym and it'll all be good. Well, I've been trying on my own to succeed at the local gym...and I just don't get the results I am looking for.

Call me 'Exercise Stupid'... that's ok... but I have TRIED! Seriously. I just don't seem to find the right exercises, or amounts, or the right balance...maybe I don't work the muscles hard enough...maybe I work them too hard!!!! I don't know, but I never ended up 'toned'.

The one thing I did do, when I used to go to Curves years ago... was end up 'almost blindly' - in the BEST SHAPE of my life.

So - whether I have to spend a bunch of extra (I don't have to spend) money to get where I want to go... or not... I AM GOING! And I will and am committing to go for 6 months, before I re-evaluate my choice.

My birthday is in six months. (the very beginning of July). If all things go according to plan...I plan to ROCK OUT MY 50th BIRTHDAY - FOR ME!!!

A brand new wardrobe! A 'makeover' hairstyle'!! A 'girls' trip with my favorite cousin!!! And a brand new convertible!

My husband raised a few eyebrows at this plan :) But then he said YES!

So I am going for it... and I will ... WILL... I say WILLLLLL make it to my goals!

Ok, off to the races... let the day begin!

Much Love

Bet you'll meet that Birthday Goal. Don't downplay that "circuit training" - sure wish my gym hadn't closed.

I love the part about the new convertible! Glad to see you here. I have been MIA for a while and clearly cannot be trusted on my own...(I gained it all back.)

Great BD goal - a convertible? You rock!! I used to go to curves and it offered really great feedback and encouragement. Definitely fun mixing it all up like that.

OK - not BRAND new... but NEW TO ME!!! Just got a bit excited while typing... anywho... I don't care! I have always wanted one - so while we were talking about 'resolutions' and 'goals' etc... I jumped in and said these were things I wanted for my 50th Birthday...but only if I reach my goals. That way - I can feel like I am shooting for accomplishing something. That helps keep me focused. Sorta like a vision board, or something. WENT TO CURVES today and signed up. Was only going to do the month to month deal - but then at the last minute I figured committing to a full year - would somehow help keep me accountable to not wasting the money...so I would feel compelled to keep going. Even if only for maintaining eventually. So I DID IT! I signed up for a whole year. WHOO HOO! WHOOO HOOO! I actually enjoyed my first workout today. Felt good! Now... off to go read some journals. Much Love. And thanks for all the support - you guys are awesome!

Good job getting that Curves membership! Have you picked out the kind of convertible you're going to get? My mom always had a "sportscar fund" going and, for her, it was to have been a Corvette!

Hey Sandy! (missed you)!! Yes - I want a sporty little VW Cabrio or perhaps a used BMW or Saab... I definitely want it to have a back seat. (I think!) So decisive - I know. My poor husband has put up w/ this for years!! LOL!

Love convertibles ~ I consider them the ultimate tanning machine. Of course, BMW does too :-)
