    I actually weigh in on Wednesdays, so if it's OKAY with everyone, Id like to make my post now to count for the group. It will be easier for me to remember to post if I do it the same day as I weigh. Here is my weigh in for January 1st.

As far as exercise, we have a home gym and a gym membership so there is no excuse not to work out. I plan on doing 30 Day Shred, Zumba (both in class and on the WII) and throwing in a yoga class 1x a week for mind/body/soul connection!
