Loving Life

Things at the club have been going extremely well. We are growing, I am up to about 174 members although some of them are not active right now. I am trying to reach them to see if they are returning or not. I hate numbers in the system just for the sake of having numbers, I want them accurate. My sister, Cheri, started working with us last week and that also seems to be going well. I like having her there and wish we could use her even more, but do need to watch payroll. I am confident we will continue to grow and this will be more than likely. I get questioned quite often about Curves and continue to hand out free weekly passes to people I meet and talk to everywhere. One day in line at Save A Lot, the next to the teller at the bank who comments that she needs to exercise and "what do we do there" Perfect opportunity and hate to let one go by.

Paula installed new program on the computer and is making her and Cher business cards copied off the set up for mine, she is a whiz on the computer and is good to have around.

I am bummed that we did the weight management program, Phase 1 this week and I only lost 1 pound . However, I have been messing with that for about 3 weeks now and down a total of 3 pounds. Plus, I cheated a few times. Snacks at Glorias purse party on Friday, dinner at Ponderosa last night. If I would have stayed true to it, I am sure I would have been down about another 3. My fault.

Happy Sunday friends, Make it a great day! Keep on moving.

Sister

Yesterday was Cheris' first day working at the club. She gave away quite a few shoe tokens, everyone who came in got one. She is working with me again today. But think today is going to be mainly on the circuit and getting to know our ladies. yesterday was about a lot of paperwork. I signed up one new member last night but Cher had already left so I left the paperwork for her to do today. Want to make sure she has some time with the computer part of it.

I called Windstream last week and had the rollover phone line taken off and made a designated fax line, then had them add voice mail. I have been calling them daily and finally found out someone entered my order wrong and that is why I still don't have voice mail. Should have it today sometime.

I really feel comfortable with my decision to have Cheri come to work, this should be fun and good for all of us. Her and Paula are talking like we need a meeting once in a while so can look at adding that to our schedule.

I am the luckiest lady alive I think, my own fantastic business, two wonderful employees, and 170 members who are also friends. A fantastic husband of 6 years on top of that. Can life get any better?

An awesome start

What a great way to start a day. Slept in a bit, don't work until 2:30 today. Rebounded by the pond and did a yardwalk, first one in ages as a cool down. Burnt 219 calories, which is my recommended daily amount and you know that I will be doing the Curves circuit yet today. Tonight is our cpr class, will be glad to have that done and out of the way for a year. Next week we are doing the first aid class and then that will be done too.

We have had a great week at the club and signed up 4 new members. Yeah! Woo hoo.

My sister starts work on Monday, give us a great big Woo Hoo here, we are both so excited about that. I may see if she wants to work the entire day with me instead of just the 10 to 5 I have her scheduled. LOL

Make it a great day everyone, its an absolutely gorgeous day here in Pa.

Life

Well, my life has sure been different since buying a Curves Franchise. My life seems to revolve 24/7 around the club and I guess that is to be expected. Even when I am not there I am thinking what needs to be done, or what is next, or what advertising do I need to do, or what incentive can we run, or how can I do this? Whew! Can wear a person out just thinking about it. Add to that the fact that I am now up at 4:30 most days and not home until around 7:30 and it sure is busy.
It's funny, but I love it. This is my baby now, my chance to really do something to help other women get healthy and fit. I am planning on starting the weight management classes in Oct and have tons of stuff to do before then. I really need to learn how to teach the class. There are dvd's that go along with the class that we need to watch, so I need a tv for the club. another expense, but a needed one. The computer screen isn't big enough..hmm, unless I buy a bigger screen. Then there is the fact that we will probably do classes sometimes in the relaxation room. If we do them during the day. Hmm, to many things to think about at 6 in the morning. Okay, stop! My mind needs a rest. And it doesn't seem to get one.

Hope y'all enjoy your Sunday! I've got things to get done!

Phase 2

I've been doing the Curves Weight Management Plan since last Sunday. I am down 3.2 pounds this week. Now, it gets scary. Now, I do phase 2 which involves eating more. Now,up to 1500 calories for the next 23 days. The protein is the kicker. I am doing the plan calling for higher protein and I have trouble getting that much in. Even with the protein shakes. this is something I really need to watch in everything that I eat.

I've goofed up a few times, but it still worked.
