baasheepFeeling tired but worthy of it. Went to my second session of curves today and really enjoyed it. I love the fact it's only 30 minutes. Last night was my assessment and first workout and it was very thorough which surprised me. When I joined the gym they didn't go that in depth but this was all paperwork upon paperwork, getting weighed, measured, height recorded, goals set etc etc. It certainly impressed me. Plus the trainer/circuit coach actually took the time to have a chat and ask me really why I wanted to do this programme. She said the stock responses were always to be healthier/to fit into smaller sizes/to be skinny but that very often there was one moment that pushed women into thinking I *have* to do something about that. I explained to her about my Mam and the fact the type of cancer she had is linked to being overweight and the main reason I am doing this is because I want to live past 59. This is my long term goal.
My short term goal is Greece.
My friends (yes those of the birthday rant) are going and they are all in weightwatchers and all they do is talk about points and receipes and meetings etc. When I was going I was the same but now that I'm not I don't really want to hear about it. I appreciate the fact ww has helped a lot of people but I'm not one of them. When the emails started again today I sent a short mail asking to be taken off the replies as I had work to do. Snippy perhaps but oh well. I haven't told anyone bar the internet that I'm doing curves.
The first reason is I want to keep it for myself. I know if I told S she would want to come and as much as I like her, we spent all our working hours together and at the end of the day I like a break from everyone. I work far enough away from this curves to ensure I won't run into anyone I know.
The second reason is rather more petty. With all the chatter of ww and how we must all go shopping for bikinis before we go to greece (hells no, I will be doing that by myself) I simply want to show up at the wedding looking stunning. One friend in particular is extremely competetive in all things including weightloss. When we first went to weightwatchers together she would sulk if I had lost more then her. Not that she would admit it mind, she would say in response to me asking her why she was so quiet "oh its just a headache" or "I'm just tired" yet mysteriously when she had lost more she was all smiles and full of chatter about the ww week ahead. I'll come straight out and say it, I want to look better then her. Ahem. Perhaps I am a wee bit competetive myself :)
