Good morning healthies

Well, my scale is stuck again...hovering just a few over 200 lbs. This is the tricky spot for me since it seems to be where my body likes to go and camp out!

I was literally in a 5 lb. range (202 - 207) for years before moving down to FL....and the climb to 229 is what motivated me to make some major changes in how I approached food.

So, now I'm back to my body's comfort zone, and trying to push it out on the other side. Challenging, for sure.

I know that going to Curves 3 times a week is helping me tone up muscles I haven't used in a good long time, and giving me a nice little cardio workout as well. My hope is that this will all help to slowly raise my metabolism.

Was talking to an elderly lady today at Curves. She literally had an amazing body and is 74 years old. She was also wearing a shirt that Curves only gives to members who pass the 1,000 visit mark. She told me that she's been coming for years.....3 or 4 times a week...and steadily lost weight and toned up over the course of those years, with an ultimate weight loss of 94 lbs....without actually "dieting" but simply doing the things we all know we should do....drink the water, eat the veggies, stay away from the processed stuff and move your butt.

She's another one of the ladies that gives me hope, and reminds me that even when progress is slow....I'm on the right track. We all are.
