Gym Session :: 11/13/2010

So i think all of last week i wasn't able to post about my gym sessions, but i do remember going LOL.. it's been sort of crazy here because both my girls were sick (still are a bit, but recovering thankfully).. so i haven't been able to blog as much as i'd like.. but it's a-okay! :)anywho, today despite us waking up later than i hoped lol.. Karen, Derick and I headed over to the gym.. since it was later than i wanted it to be, didn't get to work out legs which i'm saving for tomorrow.. but we ended up doing Chest & Back.. and i'm proud to say i've lost 3 more pounds the past two weeks just by better food choices and also most importantly portion control!! so I'm happy to say my total weight loss is now at 24lbs!! (was at 21lb...

I had originally purchased this a few months ago because of Pam (xxpinkxx) and have been in love with this ever since! thanks hun!yes i've...
