Pressed For Weight

     I'm going to need you to brace yourself. I'm actually proud of myself tonight. I know, I know. I can't believe it either, but it's true! I gave myself an hour of solid lower body effort and I feel it tonight. Yes, I had my braces on, but the knees felt good and they held up well, even when I went heavier (for me) on the leg presses. 

Here's what got done tonight:

     I gotta say, that multi hip machine kicked my ass. I will definitely try and add weight too it, but what I really liked about it was the good stretch I got on my hips. Because I sit all day, my hips get super tight. I'm thinking this machine may be a god send. 

     Emily has invited a friend who has a membership at the Y to go with us tomorrow night. Frank has opted out of the all-girls gym trip (I can't say that I blame him). I don't have much hope of the two girls actually accomplishing anything, but I'm thinking that I may do some cardio tomorrow, maybe one of the stair climbers or something. It'll be an adventure, that's for sure. 

     Anyhooooo.....I'm very pleased with this decision to join and I'm having a great time. I'm back in my happy place.
