    :flowerforyou: Today was my 'Alternate' Day, so I just walked on the Recovery Boards at Curves. I did do a few repetitions on the machines this afternoon when I was showing 2 New Members how to do the workout.
    Walked a total of 6.5 miles without ever going outside, LOL!!

    :flowerforyou: Yep, worked out at Curves, then I walked over to Conoco which is actually only 2 minutes from the door of Curves. By walking around the perimeter of both parking lots I made it take 7 minutes. Bought Coffee for my Breakfast at home (no it wasn't 'Healthy' but it was DELICIOUS!!).
    Then after I checked my e-mail and posted a few things I took the "Direct Route" to 7-11 for a second cup of coffee before work. It took 8 minutes and I figured it would take that long to go through a Drive Thru anyway.

    Lj - WTG and you saved money on gas. My Curves is about .5 miles from my home, so as soon as it starts to warm up, I'll be walking every day.

    I worked out this evening and for some reason I can't seem to get the one machine where you bring your arms together in front of your chest to turn green....it's very frustrating and has been that way for a week now.

    :heart: I think that one is the 'Pec-Dec' and it is REALLY hard! It is one of the last machines we got and I was thinking I would LOVE it. Once we got it, I realized that I really don't like it at all, LOL!!
  • I haven't worked out in 2 weeks, been really sick and didn't want to spread the germs. feeling alot better so may do today or start back tomorrow

    :heart: Glad that you are feeling better, Pixy!! I know your Curves has missed you!
    :smile: I worked out this morning, and will be walking back down there (weather permitting!!) to work the Afternoon Shift.

    :drinker: Today is my 'Alternate' Day so I didn't work out at Curves. But I did go to Curves and walked almost 4 miles on the Recovery Boards. It is so much more Fun to walk inside out of the Cold and Wind, and where you can talk with each other without worrying about how fast or slow each person moves.
    :happy: I will work the Afternoon Shift at Curves, then hopefully go to Anytime Fitness and ride their Bike this evening.

    Great job LJ.

    My PI keeps changing and I keep hitting yellow. However, I've been getting a good burn every time.

    Got my workout in today. My PI adjusted again, this time it decreased by 20. Glad it did, because those machines have been extremely hard and I burned 470 calories today. Woohoo!

    Good job everyone for getting your workout in.

    I made it to my Curves today. I wish mine had the Smart thing. I am having some issues with my left knee so I had problems with some of the machines. I go back to the doctor on Friday so hopefully he will be able to shed some light on it.

    :heart: Take care of that knee!!
    Made it to Curves 3 times this week--so far--but I have not had much computer time. Planning to go to Curves in the morning, too.

    :drinker: Too cold to walk to Curves this morning, but after I worked out I did walk across the street to get my Coffee at Conoco. By walking around the outside perimeter of both parking lots I made it last 10 minutes. If you walk straight from Curves Door to Conoco's Door, it takes less than 3 minutes.

    I didn't workout on Saturday because I was in bed sick. Had to get well enough to get to work on Sunday. Went to Curves today and I felt like i hadn't exercised in a few weeks. Instead of taking just one day off I took two days off and it made a difference in how I felt working out. Good news....I burned 458 calories.

    Well I am out of the Curves loop for awhile. Xrays on Friday and an MRI today. They are pretty certain I have a torn meniscus which will result in surgery.

    :brokenheart: So sorry to hear this!! Be sure to have the Doctor write a Note to Curves. They should put your membership on hold while you are recuperating.
    :heart: Don't even think about leaving our Group!! You will be back at Curves in no time!!

    He called today and I am heading there. They are going to put a steroid shot in my knee. They said it isn't a major tear so we are hoping to avoid surgery.

    sorry to hear this gagesmom. Hope the steroid shot works. Definitely take it easy and don't rush your recovery.

    :smile: Today was my "Alternate Day" so I did not work out at Curves. But I did go and Walk on the Recovery Boards for an hour this morning. It was just too cold and damp to walk outside.

    In addition to today's workout, I also did my monthly weigh/measure. I've lost 3.5 lbs; 2.25" and 1.96% Body Fat. My loss is on target with MFP and I'm very happy about that. So happy to have stumbled upon MFP. Have a great day everyone!
