Wow - Don - Good Choices for you!

Helen - 10% is wonderful. Reachable goasl keep you going forward.

Diane - something about cold and calorie burning that I read somewhere is that it takes energy to keep you warm so you burn more! I could use some California SNOW!

And for me the hours of Curves had kept me away before too. But my local one has new owners and they open earlier now. I just wish they were open 7 days as well so if I missed a day I could go on Sunday.

We have a little boutique gym a couple blocks from the house that I joined a while back. Open 7 days from 6 am to 9pm. The trainer there decided that I needed to be "Bootcamped". He pushed me way over my target heartrate and I did not stop and kept going thinking he knew what he was doing. It took me an hour to recover - I was lucky to not have gotten injured from his negligence.
