And so it begins...

My mom gave me an awesome birthday present today--a membership to Curves! (Thanks, mommy!) I headed to the facility and signed up. The lady weighed me and measured me and checked my BMI. Well, not like I needed her calculations to tell me that I am very obese but thats what I am--VERY obese! I've been using the "baby weight" excuse for too long now. I think that excuse loses its validity when your kid turns 2. Mine is 3 1/2!

I hopped on the machines for my first Curves workout in 3 years (I joined after Mason was born but didnt stick with it). Immediately my heart started working harder than it has in awhile! As I made my way around the circle, the local grandmas began quizzing me on my past. Any other time would've been great but this big girl cant exercise and talk at the same time right now! HAHA! But they were cute and very funny--a nice distraction from my workout. One lady told me a funny story that is worth passing along.

She told me of another member who brings her 85 year old mother to Curves with her. They were discussing an upcoming family trip to the beach in which 15 family members would be attending. The mother felt that 15 people were WAY too many people to be coming on the trip. One of the other members asked her, "Well where are they all going to stay?" The mother said, "Oh, they are going to be renting and staying in one of those big condoms!" HAHAHA!

So my eating plan didnt go so well today. I think Ill be starting that tomorrow. One thing at a time...I cant rush these things you know!!!
