Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hi Amy, I have several friends who are huge Curves fans too. As for me, I have a treadmill and a bike as well as weights here so I don't have any excuse to not exercise :-) I just don't eat until I have finished my workout, so it gets me motivated to get it over with in the morning before work. It might be nice to have other women to chat with during my workout though. I definitely don't get the social interaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Amy, do you like Curves? I was seriously thinking about joining. Honestly, I don't remember the name of the beta blocker off the top of my head, its in a blue box (he gave me free samples) and its 50mg. I know that much. Ha, ha. Thanks for all your continued support. Jill > Jill Congratulations on a great neph visit! Did you have anything going on that might have raised your creatinine? Sinus infection or something like that? When I was in 6 weeks ago mine was above my baseline at 2.4 but I was just recovering from an infection...this time round it was back down to 2.0. I know how you feel about wanting to be off of at least one pill. I was so hoping to be off the pred in under a year but it looks like it's going to be a year and beyond. I keep reminding myself it's doing it's thing and I should consider myself lucky that it did. So I guess I can deal with the slow weaning process. Which Beta blocker did you start on? I hope it helps with the heart stuff you have going on. > It's great that your neph gives you some long term ideas of what will happen. Whenever I ask mine " so once I'm off the prednisone what will we do? " His answer with a huge smile everytime is " talk to me when you are off the prednisone. " He doesn't like to say anything without labs to back up his decisions, I guess I can live with that. > > Congrats again on the weight loss too! I'm slowly starting to head in that direction after 3 weeks at Curves 3x/week. > > Amy > Had my Neph appt. on 7/20 it went pretty good > > > I saw my Neph on 7/20 and unfortunately the hospital screwed up my > labs and tested my blood for the wrong things, so we don't know what > my protein levels are, but my Neph thinks by looking at me that they > have probably dropped to half.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 ya know I really think the social interaction part is what keeps me going. As a stay at home, work out of the home, homeschooling mom of two without any close neighbors around to talk to ....nearest house is 1/2 mile down the road and their kids are very young....I really find myself needing adult conversation at times. Plus going and seeing women my size and larger working out and working toward a common goal keeps me motivated..something my treadmill won't do for some reason. ;o) Amy Re: Amy..do you like Curves?
