January 19, 2014 by Tamara

Last week I made, what I felt, was a pretty intense laundry list of working out. Added to my work week, I was pretty uncertain about whether or not I’d be able to do it. Well, I managed to make my goals- better yet- I surpassed my goals! Goal: 2 hours on elliptical Accomplished: 2 … [Read more…]
