Look at ME!! Look at ME!!

Today, I am going to toot my own horn because I don't know if this will ever happen again. :) I've been inspired by a few things and a few good people in the last year to make some lasting changes in my life, health-wise. One of those changes has involved getting to the gym R-E-G-U-L-A-R-L-Y. It used to be that I'd say, "Yeah, I go to the gym." What I didn't say is that it might be one or two times that month. *sigh* Well, I'm happy to say that I've now gotten into the routine of going three times a week and I feel SO much better!!! I go to the gym Curves for Women and I really enjoy it! It's so easy to GO there because it's only a 30 minute workout, but the benefits from it and the way I feel say SO much more. Plus, you really get to know the people you work out with and it's just a lot of fun.

Anyway, one of the things they do each month is recognize the top five people that lost the most (weight & inches combined) and their name gets put on a "Stars of the Month" board. Guess who got on it for the first time?!?!? ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o) You can see my star below. :) Inches and weight combined, I lost 6.5. Wahoo!!!! :) Let me tell ya, this SURE inspires me to try and get up there next time! What a fun and rewarding feeling! Who knew a laminated star could do that for a person!?! *laugh*

So, there you go. I'm done being all braggy about it. :) I just had to share, though, because I was so very excited. Yay for me! :)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go! Awesome!!

You are helping to inspire me again. I've kinda gotten busy with other stuff and the elliptical is getting lonely in there. I plan to visit it more often. On M-W-F when Amelia isn't here; would work perfect. So thanks for the encouragement.
I need to be exercising for baby and to feel good. (Not to loose weight~I know --- that will come this fall~after the baby gets here)
