Thank you so much for that, Karen. Comments like that do help keep me motivated. It's so much easier to keep going, when progress is being made. Thank you.

I know! In a way it was kind of sad that he was there, charging $20 for an autograph. Guess they have to make $$ somehow, but he was The Hulk, you know?!?

I agree on all counts. It helps that Brady is just a great guy. Smart, nice and works his butt off in the gym.

Thank you, Wendy!
Ok, I am bound and determined to get my workouts caught up in my log. Of course, I forgot to go look and see which was the last one I logged.

I would definitely have said something stupid, or tripped, or taken my shirt off... no, just kidding about that last one (maybe in a few months when I'm more confident  ).
Just came in to look around, and man! Your progress is awesome, Ginger. Great job.

LOL! Now, if it had been after dark and after a few drinks, I could totally imagine doing something like that. LOL (saying something stupid or tripping, LOL. There is nothing going on under my shirt, except deflation)

Hey Kara! Thank you!
Well, I went to the gym and tortured, I mean, did 20 minutes of intervals on the step mill and 10 minutes of SS on the eliptical trainer. I also did some bicep work, because they are in need. Nothing major, just some rows and some curls.
They are calling for nasty weather, again! I am so done with the snow, I can't stand it.
On a better note, I am scheduled to go do a V02 testing next week. I never talked about it on here, but I went a couple of weeks ago and sat in a BodPod and had my body fat tested and it was not a pretty number, but it gave me the kick in the pants I needed to stick to this and stop with the crap.
