I have only been going to Curves for 2 months, but long enough to know Curves etiquette and that what I was running into wasn't quite right.

Each time I have been to Curves on Saturday morning, I have encountered another member that feels she needs to critisize my workout. The first time she told me I wasn't holding my arms properly. Even though I had never been told I was doing it wrong by the Trainer and I was annoyed at the time, I thanked her for her comment.

The next time I encountered this lady, she told me I was not pointing my toes enough to get the proper workout on the machine I was using. I decided to ignore her this time. What really creeped me out more than anything was knowing that she was watching me.

So this morning, I walk in the door and she is there and I wondered if she would have anything to say. The Trainer made mention that I had on another Disney shirt, one with a nice big Mickey on the pocket. The Trainer then mentions that my "friend" was also wearing a Disney shirt and that we should get together. Mind you, this Trainer has no knowledge of what has transpired between me and my "friend". So the Trainer then makes a comment about both of us being big Disney fans.

My "friend" then started talking about how she goes to Disney a lot and that they own timeshere there, in fact she owns at the most successful and largest timeshare in the world, right there at Disney. She said the name of her timeshare is Vistana, had I ever heard of it?

I said yes, I was familiar with Vistana, and that I had even stayed there a couple of times, and that it was right outside one of Disney's main entrances. I then said that I, too, own timeshare in Orlando, BUT MINE IS ON DISNEY PROPERTY AND WAS CREATED BY DISNEY.......................

I smiled thru the rest of my workout and she never said another word.

AFter thinking about this some more, it would have been different if this woman and I had had conversation before, any kind of conversation, but all this just came totally out of the blue.

I think the next Saturday I go, I will be wearing my Old Key West t-shirt.

One thing Curves has done for me is given me the opportunity to wear all those t-shirts I just had to have, but don't wear out anywhere.

And ya know, it isn't like I look down on Vistana or any other timeshare that isn't Disney, heck, I own one of those myself. She just made it too darn easy for the comeback. then t he next Saturday I can wear my Saratoga shirt, and I gugess I will hve to buy a BCV shirt when I am down there the end of the month.


Athenna, I am wondering how you are doing on your smoking campaign. I am hoping that it is going great for you and that you are no longer feeling those crazy side affects from giving it hope.

Way to go. I know you are very proud of yourself. I hope your better health is a huge reward for what you have accomplished. My addiction is food, and it is a daily struggle to give up the things I love. It's not easy trying to take care of the one and only body that we have been given, is it? Congratulations to you.

When I was at Curves tonight, I was there with just the Trainer and one other lady. It happened to be the same Trainer that started the whole conversation about Disney. I told her the history with "Ursula" correcting me in my workouts and she said that Ursula does that to other people too and not to take it personally. The other lady working out, said that Ursula had done the same thing to her over the past year.

So, I guess I am glad to know that I am not the only one that she has been watching.

You think if she's doing that to everyone that someone would say something to her. :rolleyes:

Ornery thing that I am, still gonna wear my OKW t-shirt the next Saturday that I go.

Carrie, the Trainer did say hat the next time she knew we were both there at the same time, she was going to make sure that she stayed in the middle of the room so that Ursula would keep her thoughts to herself.
