Not gonna lie, I love seeing that much red. I'm losing inches pretty evenly along my torso, and evening out along my arms and legs. I still have a long way to go, but this is a great way to start!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty

My prince and I have been hitting the Y pretty much every day this week. Half an hour on the elliptical, followed by half an hour in the pool. After a few more weeks of cardio, I'm going to start weight training with the prince. There's a system he uses called Nerd Fitness that helps create a custom weight routine based on your current capabilities.

Gods I hope there's a level 0.

We keep successfully dragging or at least attempting to drag our sidekick along. Let me clarify: he signed up for the Y with us of his own volition, wanting to become more active (plus, pool). The prince and I are merely holding him to that by kidnapping him whenever we go.

I'm pretty sure that's the face he's making behind our backs

Now I get to spend the rest of this beautiful, sunny, warm Friday afternoon...
inside, writing a paper...
