Labrador City

Member Since April 2009

My Story
Deciding what to enter for "Member Since" was probably the hardest part of my entering this contest. I started with Curves in 2003, in Clarenville, NL. After moving back home to Wabush, Labrador in 2006, I quickly decided to join Curves here. I worked with Linda and Cathy on weight management classes and lost 17 pounds. I felt great about myself and a chronic back problem was kept under control.

In 2007, I started a full time teaching position, and just found myself too busy to get to Curves. So, I gave up my membership, and focused on work. Linda reminded me every time we met that it is important to make time for ourselves, no matter how busy we are.

This winter, in January, I had my second baby! Two little ones certainly keep me busy, but now LInda's words have finally sunk in. I do need to make time for myself. So, I rejoined Curves in April this year. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, I faithfully take one hour for myself to go to Curves. I love the new Curves Smart! I've encouraged my dear friend Tina to come too, and we remain faithful by owing the other $2 if we miss a night! I am feeling good about myself and have lots more energy to spend quality time with my two darling boys!

Thanks Curves!
