If at First you don't Succeed...

Try, try again.

That has been my mantra for this year. Don't give up Destiny. You can do it. Try again. Keep going. 

Today at the gym, I don't even know exactly  what happened. I tried to start on the elliptical  for about 10 mins... (by try I mean scrolling up and down my fb timeline and people watching) I just wasn't  feeling it! I considered  going home and walked over to tell Len as he was vigorously racing on the bike (which I hate btw, somthing about a seat impaling my butt just isn't appealing to me lol). He suggested  that we  try the stair stepping machine (which we had never tried before) and see how we felt afterwards.

So. 5 minutes and 13 flights  of stairs later, we switched  over to weights, then went back our cardio excerise, then abs, back to cardio again on the bikes (I compromised on that lol) and finally we closed it out with squats and bench pressing. Interval training for the win!

The sense of accomplishment  that comes from overcoming self doubt is priceless. Needless to say, I'm very glad we didn't go home!

  3. You guys are really into it! Great job! You're losing weight, eating right, and doing it together; which is always fun. Yes! Len is really, really losing weight! He looks great! Men always lose faster than women, so don't worry Des darling, you have lost weight too, but I'm sure he sees it quicker because he's larger. Stay motivated and together. I'm proud of you both and love you just as much as I am proud. Mom
