I'm getting people's opinion...

So, with my recent promotion and pay raise, it looks like I might be able to hang onto my Curves memebership after all! I am also looking into Weight Watchers, because it seems that my food seems to be my current struggle. I have tried over and over just counting calories, and that doesn't seem to help me as much as it helps others. I think I just need to be more accountable or something. I don't know. I am so determined to make it work, and to make it a permanent change, that I have been looking into many things. Weight Watchers seems to be the most reliable in my research.
With my health problems, HCG is completely out of the question. MD Diet I feel the same way that I do about HCG. I have done most everything I can do on my own, and I can't afford a dietician. So, I think Weight Watchers is going to be the most helpful to me.
Any suggestions? Input? Advice?

The Holidays

So, the holidays are here, and we all know what that means...lots of food and sweets! I have to admit that this time of year has always been hard for me. I have tried the last couple of years to have just a little bit rather than nothing, and it has been tough. I love all of the food around the holidays. It's comfort food, and that makes me want it more!
I know the biggest thing for me this week is going to be making sure that I get workouts in. To be honest, I have been such a slacker lately, and after going over my finances with my hubby, there is no way I can keep up with my Curves membership, so I have to let that go at the beginning of the year.
I still have my T-Tapp, which is great. I need to have more variety though. My old manager at work swears by Zumba, but I still haven't ever gone to a Zumba class. Does anyone have any ideas? I have asthma, and with the cold weather here in Utah, it makes walking a little hard for now until I get into better shape.
HELP ME PLEASE!!! And I will report on how I do over The Holidays with my treat/comfort food consumption!

Country Dancing

So, Hubby and I went on a double date last night and went country dancing. IT WAS AN AWESOME WORKOUT!!!!!!!! I used muscles that I haven't used in so long! It was a mix of swing, line, and slow dancing. It's so much fun, and we will be doing it again! When I plugged it in to calculate how many calories I burned, it was about 950! It felt so good!

The Return of the Minnie!

So, I officially made it back down to Curves today! It feels amazing! I'm so glad that I went! I didn't realize quite how much I missed going to the workouts, and how much better I felt after when I know that I worked hard, worked up a sweat, and that's getting me one step closer to where I want to be.
Zumba starts on the 23rd, and I won't be missing it! I want to at least try it! My boss swears by it, so I need to at least give it a chance.
I've been thinking about doing Weight Watchers as well, so I have a little more structure in what I eat. Yes, I am traking it on sparkpeople.com, but it still doesn't seem to make me accountable enough for what I am wanting to accomplish. Any input?
Thanks to anyone who is left out there reading this! :)

Zumba Postponed! :(

So, my Curves isn't starting Zumba until the 18th now, so I won't be able to go for a while. I haven't made it back down to Curves yet either. but I am walking, and doing my Wii Fit at home, as well as T-Tapping. I do have to say, I am down another pound today, which puts me at 205! I'm excited about this, because when I started my true weight loss journey a year ago, I weighed 235. I have lost 30 lbs, even though my blog only says I have lost 11. Either way, I am super proud of myself! I have 13 lbs to go to my wedding weight, so that is the next goal!

Finally Feeling Better!

YaY!
I'm finally over that funky flu that comes and goes for like a week! It was not fun, and I'm feeling pretty good. I acutally did some yoga tonight to stretch my body out. It felt really good and relaxing!
I'm so excited to slowly work myself back into my routine, and I found out that my Curves is now going to be doing a Zumba class! I'm so excited to go and try it out!
I will post about my adventures in Zumba class soon!
