Boosting Metabolism

I can't thank Curves enough for the great and timely information about the importance for revving up one's metabolism after menopause. In terms of diet and weight loss, it worked wonders for me. I have lost 33 pounds in 9 months. Slow and steady to be sure. But you don't need to go to Curves and join their weight & diet plan-"the 6-Week Solution". And "boosting" your metabolism can be achieved at anytime, menopause or not. Unfortunately the time-honored virtues of commitment and passion have to accompany your successful weight loss dream. (Oh...and exercise is included.) At least that worked for me. Today I found a 3-year-old photo of myself in a bathing suit, circa 174 pounds! Coupled with a brand new one of me this summer, I am ready to oblige Curves' request that I furnish them "before" and "after" photos of myself for their wall. My new goal is now to step up on the strength training-weight lifting- so I can sculpt my leaner body now. My son said I have the body of a "50 year-old celebrity". Well, not yet.

Partying

I almost feel like I am re-living my youth. With children ages 21 and 23, I find relaxing with a few drinks as pleasureable now as I did when I was younger. I guess one of the benefits of having yoyur children relativley young (first at 26), is you really can still have some exciting years when you are older, BUT NOT TOO OLD. Unfortunatley I feel way behind the curve on this computer business, because I was a stay-at-home for so long. I returned to school at 42 to become a teacher, which I did at 45, and teach "bad kids" at an alternative school. But I love it. Now that I have conquered that, I am on a roll to shed pounds, which I am doing. 'Need to hear from other like-minded women. I'm a Harley wife, too. What gets your juices going?
