1 step forward.....2 steps back....that be life ladies

So, on Monday I went to the gym and got in an amazing 30 mins on the eliptical!  I was so proud of myself!  Then, I put in 20 mins on the treadmill and even got up to a jog.....you have to understand my fear of being a crumpled pile of Niki at the back of the treadmill to understand that this was quite the accomplishment!  Anyhow, that was all greatly needed since this weekend I ate more than I ever should have.....eww!  Also, I have a new goal for the strength-training, I want to be able to do the torso twists without my shoulder hurting.  I am working on my upperbody strength to make that possible.

By the way, this weekend was garage sale weekend in the great town of Fudd-ville!  Me and my step-mil went out and briskly strolled the neighborhood in search of other people's treasures.  Usually I am not one to enjoy the pleasure of searching for things at garage sales but I had a blast this weekend and found tons of great deals on kids clothes....all that and I didn't got over $20!

The older kids left for SC on Monday morning and what can I say, I miss them already!  They have been going for 3 years now and they have so much fun!  I will see them in about a month : (

Another update on the fitness stuff--I went to the gym last night with my new mp3 player and pumped out 25 mins on the eliptical and 30 mins on the recumbent and did my abs.  I was pushing for 30+ on the eliptical but that was my steps back....there is always today!
