Forgot to weigh in yesterday. Went to the gym did 30 minutes fast pace on the track , lower body weight machines, and 10 minutes on the bike....It was really hard, I got my heart rate up and I will be adding it to the routine. BBL with todays info.
I went to whole foods to replace all our personal care products with toxic free, let me tell ya...it was very spensive :) but so worth it, my new favorite item in Jason herbal body wash!

Posted by ChariWent to the gym today, not a usual day for me. It was filled with children , they where on the track (ages 3-13) and it was really hard to one lap in without almost stepping on them. I managed to get in 30 minutes and then decided to get on the treadmill. The only one open , seemed to be broken. One finally got on an elliptical and did 20 minutes there. Menu is here. Good day, ate well and had a bonus exercise day!
