Beware...Sharp Curves Ahead! - Local Business in Huntsville TX

I have been writing now for Active Rain and Localism for over a year. Many things have changed since I began. My changes include but are not limited to:

huntsvillecurves@sbcglobal.net

•1. I put on 10 lbs.

•2. My blogging chair is looking worn.

•3. My fingers have become nimble and quick.

•4. I'm getting terrific Google Juice.

•5. I've made many friends.

•6. I've lost a great deal of sleep.

•7. I've learned a lot.

•8. My camera has become more important to me.

•9. I have a new respect for blogging.

•10. I saw Dark Knight and I may never be the same... Tish Humphrey

Today, I made a big step. I should own stock in our local CURVES FOR WOMEN. Or, at least that's what my husband tells me. When I first joined CURVES in 2001 I was happy with my weight but I wanted to convert to more muscle. I worked for quite a few years and then...well, as fate may have it my workouts waned.

The introduction to Active Rain and Localism "firmed up" (sorry for the pun) my fate. I was to grow weaker, flabbier and less healthy. Ugh. I swore that would never happen!

My husband threatened me with the cancellation of my membership if I didn't take advantage of it. NO, NO, NO, there went my only lifeline to health and staying young! I use to speed walk. Try that in 105 degrees.

So, please let me introduce you to my friend and CURVES FOR WOMEN, HUNTSVILLE, TX. Owner and coach. Tish Humphrey.

Now, as you can see, Tish has been working her business. Therefore, when she talks I recommend that we listen.

You can tell by her CURVES that she is doing well!

Pun intended. LOL.

Tish was showing me what size my waste is suppose to be...okay, the ideal size at 27 inches. I'm just a tich over that! She measured me but didn't tell me how much. Not to worry, I'll get there. Here's a peek at my ideal weight. Don't worry, I'll get there! Oh, I said that...I'll keep convincing myself!

My ideal weight minus a couple/./

Above says 130 lbs. I really do want 132 but I like to overshoot.

Now, here are more pics of this wonderful space. My space. For me, by me. and it says 130 lbs. I'm 5' 9" tall with long legs and lots of energy. So, this heat can't keep me down! And, neither can you, Active Rain.

Texas summers have a way of causing cabin fever just like the winter does in the north.

I am pleased to have such a professionally run and "effective" club to enjoy at all times of the year. Focus Workout?

Tish and her staff keep us busy with the rules of the circuit. We travel from one machine to another with timed intervals working from one machine to another. Between the machines are pads to continue to move to keep the heart rate up without overdoing it.

This is a combination of cardio and resistance training and is set up so that any age and any physical condition will benefit.

Mindy and Nicki These are Mindy (left) and Nicki my circuit coaches. They are both laughing at my new measurements compared to what I was!

Shut up girls! You're both beautiful and have only begun your life! I don't want to hear it!

They were both just black whip and boots "mean" when it came to my work out!

Whew...they look so nice.

Don't be fooled.

They're dangerous!

Looks like I am in the same boat with you, but may I add that I have tendonitis in my wrists and shoulder from all of the typing.

Hi Deb,

I like how you did this post....it is a nice combination of motivation, localism, humor and truth. I'm curious...why after seeing Dark Knight, might you never be the same?

Maria, get to work! That's what they're telling me! Just do it. Like Nike. If you want to vent you can call me!

Sondra, thanks. I'm not going to pull anyone's leg! I need this badly. I've been feeling all chained to my home. It's so hot I can't stand it. yuk. Dark Knight? Let's save that to visit about at the get together...I would like to know what you thought about it too. Have you seen it?

Later in the rain~Deb

Deb, I was going to ask what Sondra asked. Wassup with Dark Knight, eh?

Okay girlfriend, have you seen it? That's my question! I think if you've seen it you would have a better idea of why I was disturbed??? Maybe? I thought the direction, acting, special effects, filming, story line and costuming was fab. I'm still disturbed...

again, have y'all seen it?

Later in the rain~Deb

My friend you are making me feel guilty. I need to start using that elliptical machine we bought.

Deb, I'm glad you love Curves, I was absolutely impressed by our Curves here in Westbury, Long Island when I was called to Feng Shui the place. I loved the training methods and think it gives you an excellent work out. And good for you for getting back to fitness, I stopped for a short time and felt it :(

OK, Deb! This post just reminded me that my vacation is over, and it's time to hit the gym!

Deb, thanks for introducing us to Tish, Nicki and Mindy and your Curves regimen. Good luck with the workout. I'm cheering you on : )

Marchel, I'll give you a good price for that elliptical! You don't really want it right? Just a small percentage of a commission and you'll never miss it! Ha! You have no reason to feel guilty, miss "I just mowed the yard". You are perfect! Later in the rain~Deb

Carole, I really like our CURVES and Tish does a great job at incenting the workouts. I highly recommend it.

Patricia, I need a vacation like yours. When did you get back? I loved your posts. It was like I was there...naw...just made me want to be!

Later in the rain~Deb

Deb... here's the deal. I could get on the treadmill or the elliptical thingie or the stationary bicycle but really, I could do all that and still get hit by a bus tomorrow. So, I say the heck with it. I'm going to have my sweet tea and by flitter, my waist will just have to get over it.

Btw, speedwalking in 105 degree heat? Are you kidding me? I've done it (heat, not speed walking) and it just about cooked my brain. Come to think of it, that could explain a lot. :)

Thanks Gary, they are so nice! I will get back into the groove and I will be glad I did! Am I going to see you next week? Let me know.

Later in the rain~Deb

Deb, I guess I am going to have to go and watch this thing so we can have a conversation. Hmm... ;-)

LOL, Jesse! You are so funny. By flitter? Your waste is just perfect for us you know that? We will love you no matter what the size of your waste dear...I just am use to one particular size of my body and I'm willing to work to keep it that way! It gives me more energy.

You are absolutely perfect! And, so am I ... after a few pounds! Ha!

Later in the rain~Deb

Don't ever change.

Carolyn, so are you saying you didn't see it???? I'm just wondering!!! I'll be happy to tell you why it disturbed me but if Michael takes you to see it............do NOT take the kids. I don't care what it's rated. :-)

I'm tough. It still disturbed me.

Deb

Deb, I didn't see Dark Knight. Am I going to have to go see it this weekend? I did see Mama Mia and it's Great!!!

Good luck with the exercise routine...see you on the 16th!!! WooHoo!!! I can't wait!!!

Deb, I don't see how they expect you to be 130 pounds at your height. My goal weight at weight watchers is 132 at 5' 4 1/2". I am usually at about that but am up 6 pounds lately. I think it's the wine, but I hate to give it up! I exercise a lot and I lift weights and walk and garden and swim. But I don't feel good at my current weight and really want to lose at least 5 pounds. Great them them to Curves!

JuJu, No. You must not rush out to see the movie unless you're ready for a shocker. I would like to see Mama Mia. I can't say I didn't like the Dark Knight as it was produced and acted brilliantly...just disturbing.

Susan, I have always been very thin. Right now I am feeling like a beached whale. Yuk. My favorite weight is 128 but then everyone says I look anorexic...hum. The lighter the better. I like to stay active but I'm just feeling yukky and sedintary. You are gorgeous!

Later in the rain~Deb

Deb - I use to work next door to one of these places and I saw the same women enter and exit evryday but I never saw that they were getting results - Does this really work???

Deb, I didn't really care for Dark Knight either. I guess I should have realized it was going to be dark by the name. My daughter drug me along knowing full well that I was not going to like it. She tells me that afterwards. The acting and special effects were phenomenal but you are right it was disturbing. Someone sitting beside us had their 7 or 8 year old with him. I went to the rest room and he was watching with his face hidden by his hands. Personally I think Dad should have taken him home. I think it should have been rated R.

Carol, it REALLY works. You just have to be consistant. I have a 10% fat loss ahead of me. My fat content shows to be normal for my height but I'm use to really being down there. The machines and the circuit are only 20 seconds each...therefore you don't feel like you've over done it and you WILL see results.

Yes, it works.

Later in the rain~Deb

Marchel, I can't believe it wasn't rated R!!! I noticed there was no blood and I don't know how they pulled that off! I'm certain they worked hard to stay within the peramiters of the PG regs. I'm still glad I saw it in the theater just to see the performance of Heath Ledger.

I didn't even know he was gone till after I saw the movie. I would have really hated it if I had known. I thought he was great.

Deb, I am not even going to touch this subject. All I can say is you look FABULOUS!!!

Your friend in Charlottesville!

HI DEB!

Wow, you're tall, I didn't imagine you being that tall!! Your weight is just fine! My husband threatens me all the time with cancellation of my membership!! I'm gonna use it already!!

Thanks for sharing & good luck with Curves.

Liz, I sent Tish a copy and she was thrilled. She tells me they were going to pull it out for everyone to read at the staff meeting today.

I'm due to go back in tomorrow but today is an advil day.

Charles! Charles! You knew JUST what to say! Thank you dear. That always helps!

Yvette, yes I'm tall. Very tall. I like it. SO MANY PEOPLE LOOK UP TO ME! Ha,ha,ha. Get to work woman and don't let that membership grow any moss! (this is the pot talking to the frying pan)

Later in the rain~Deb

I'm with Charles... you look fabulous dahling!

As for the 'by flitter' comment... I may be living in the land of the Yankee's but I'm a southerner through and through.

Your titles need to reflect your geo-targeted locations. That won't always get you approved, but it would help. Using General or Generic Titles are easy to overlook

Deb - I love it!!!! Makes me wanna run out and sign up for Curves. Blogging certainly doesn't train the body with physical muscles. I need the toning and could use the accountability. :-) What a great way to go!!! Congrats on the first step "again".

Howdy Deb

Curves in Huntsville TX, sure sounds like a really fine place, for ladys to workout at.

Keep your workouts up, and keep giving us fine post's to read.

Deb I have curves where I don't need them and some are missing in other places. You have really inspired me. I have been working on a life style change for about three months now. I have changed my eating habits but I was talking to my personal life coach and I really need to step up the exercise thing. It has been a huge struggle for me. But I really want to have the "whole package" so I am going to move in that direction!

Thanks for all the advice! I will learn this one way or another! I'm sore! Ouch.
