All in all - I had a GREAT workout on my Lower Body - I was thinking I didn't have that great of workout at first, it was about 5 hours ago that I worked out, My rear is hurting and my hamstrings. I thing the lunges (even though I could only do one set) really worked. Will start working those in more often. However, I feel that I will be really sore tomorrow.
Also - today is my 1 month anniversary with joining the gym. I never thought I would actually start to like exercise. Actually, I guess I should say I don't like it, however, I like the way I feel when I do exercise and I hate the way I feel if I miss an exercise session. I can't wait until 3 months from now to see the progress. On the 8th, I will get measured again at the gym, and I will post my numbers. I know that I have lost inches - today my sister in law told me "wow, your really losing weight".
Last night at dinner my brother in law told me "Your looking good". Yes, please tell me that some more, I love the compliments, even though I have soooo far to go, I feel that I can do this and I don't care how long it takes me to get there, I know I will get there!
