okay i've gone to the gym EVERY day this week (since Sunday)
I've been posting my workouts on my facebook page (if you aren't a friend of mine on there yet, search gigglechick)
anyway... i'm gonna just slap my posts on here for the past week....
not for nothing, but, i'm pretty happy with myself right now. I'd had a goal to work my way up to doing 7 minutes on the Elliptical by tomorrow (Sunday)... I've surpassed that goal :}

so, i brought my Smart Girls Do Dumbbells book with me

Went to the gym, did DAY 4 of Smart Girls Do Dumbbells. As I was doing the squats, which is not exactly my forte, some dude was watching me and it bothered the eff out of me, so i wound up doing only 1 set of Front Squats... Later, it turned out he was a Personal Trainer who is starting there in 09.
But still, I kinda didn't dig it. But I did the... Read More Elliptical, then did the strength training, THEN did 25 minutes on the treadmill and watched half of Rudolph.
