10 Pound Cut

I really should be sleeping instead of writing this post but I really wanted to update all of you on how I'm doing.  I'm finally past all of my illnesses and I'm feeling great.  I have been going to the gym everyday before work and although it is hard to get out of bed at 5:45am it feels so good when I'm done exercising.  It's a wonderful way to start my day.

I Did It!

I made it to the gym before work today!  I woke up at 5:45AM, picked up bagels and cream cheese for all of my girls teachers and then headed to the gym.  45 minutes on the elliptical wasn't as bad as it seems.  I survived anyway. :)
