Hello, Blog...it's me, Margaret (CH 27)

Two words....BATTLE ROPES!

Went to a free trial session at this place called Krank Fitness in Nutley. Not bad. I feel like I can copy those workouts and just do them at home. But, I do like the added motivation that comes with a group setting...that is, the motivation not to punk out. Highlight of the day: I did 10 regular push-ups on my toes with the proper form (at least I think I did). Count'em 10!! Was soo excited, never had that happen. I usually punk out after 3. Sooo proud of myself, but I didn't realize there was a second set, and I nearly died afterwards...hehehe. Hey, it's the small battles, right? Anyways, we'll see what comes of this, much like my bouldering experiment. Variety is the spice of life...

No more beer!

Well I managed to lose a few lbs in May. I say it was because I say no to the evil Icecream, soda and no more beer. Weighed in today at 219.5 on my scale. Don't know how that translates to Phil's wacky scale. So if I keep on keepin on I hope to be down to 215 or so by end of June. Question... are tape worms legal? Just kidding!
