Gonna work out hard during the week though because I have another "thing" Saturday night and want my arms and shoulders to look great so I'm gonna hit the weights hard!

      Feeling great getting almost half my calories burned on the first day. My heart rate monitor is amazing, I think it's really going to kick it up a notch! It's been snowing all day, but the roads look pretty good. May end up trying my C25K if it's not too icy!

      GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK!!
