Been running the stairs at work for 10 minutes at a time, two to three times, to get some what of a workout on the days I can't get one in at home, I get tons of odd looks in the stair well thats fo sho!

Still eating Skinnytaste. LOVE. Going on a trip this weekend with Skip but a good gym was my qualification so I will get getting my workout on fo sho this weekend, and it is my 5 day weekend, and I plan to get a workout in with my best friend on Monday and Tuesday so I have to find some material to take over there.

But yes I am alive. Just alive with a fried brain.

[Dr. Love]

I have to say that I am completely blown away by everyone's dedication and motivation. I am hoping to be completely inspired if I keep reading these posts. Keep them going and congratulations to everyone on their accomplishments to date.
