I started my training this week at the gym. For those who I haven't bragged about it to yet, I got 14 half hour training sessions for $150!!! WAHOO! I looked into it before and they were sooooo pricey. I love our gym. Apparently when we joined we should have gotten 4 half hour sessions, but we never did them, then we should have been offered an introductory rate for training, which we weren't...or at least, we weren't aware of anything. So, almost a year later, they gave me everything. I was all ready to purchase 5 half hour sessions for $120...then SURPRISE! I'm okay with cardio stuff, but when it comes to strength training I'm clueless. So she's been writing down all the things we do, and if we use a machine she's writing down my seat levels and the amount of weight, just so I can remember everything when I do it on my own! That's one of the biggest problems for me-someone shows me something, then the next time I try it, I can't remember the correct form or anything. She's showing me which muscle groups to work out together, and it's also nice to have a little voice reminding me while working out that I need to tighten my abs :) She's been commenting on how nice my form is for someone who hasn't ever done this stuff before, so that makes me feel better about myself! So I'm a little sore, but at least my knees, back, and wrists aren't hurting, which was always another problem I had before when I was trying things on my own. WAHOO!
I haven't been doing too well on recipes stuff. I was talking to a friend and realized that I'm trying so hard to try new recipes that I've just forgotten all the old ones that I liked and could rely on in a pinch. So my next goal is to go through ALL my stash and type up all the tried and true healthy recipes. IF YOU HAVE ANY TO INCLUDE, SEND THEM MY WAY! Once I pull everything together in a document, I can email it to you, if you want. But how about this...you have to include a recipe in order to get the document! :) It might take a little while to get this done (there's quite a bit on my plate at the moment), but I WILL get it done. Adrienne also suggested that I put together my weekly menu and post it. When I get organized this weekend I just might do that. Incentive to actually get it planned :)

The mailboxes are adorable! Good job!
I saw those mailboxes...i also love Target..i didn't buy any..now i am bummed, but trying to console myself because I know there is no way I would have made them so cute.
Hey - I have SO MANY healthy/low fat recipes. Dinner, desserts, appetizers - I have always wanted to go through and type them up, because I do the same - forget the old ones! There are also great cookbooks! I will let you know!
cute mailboxes! You are so creative! Good job with the workout sessions! That is exciting! Do you like to run? You should run in some 5K's with me this summer! They really are so fun and it makes you feel sooo good after doing one! I wish i had someone that would do it with me! :)
SO cute! Did you make me one? Just kidding! I'm so excited that you are blogging! I haven't checked forever and yeah! Good luck with your training and drink LOTS of water! I love you!
Proud of you for finding the DEAL for some weight/strength training. That is awesome. You and Dave are going to look SO GOOD (you are sharing the sessions - right? Or are they all for you? :))
And your mailboxes. I want to make one now. Just need to figure out where I would use it...hmmmm. Is it a decopoge project? But I am thinking on a bigger scale for some "events" - and then sell them. Hmmmm...do I have time? I Just wish my garage would warm up so I can clean up and work on some projects out there.
