Going H.A.M in the Gym!

Greetings!

After not working out all weekend, today I went over my set goals in the gym and was bursting with energy. I still feel a little bit of pain in my core from that CX workout which was three days ago!

I also competed challenge #1 on the elliptical and surprised myself by burning 367 calories after a half hour of not looking at the numbers pass on the machine! 

I stayed in the gym for a little over two hours today and divided up my cardio with arm exercises which gave my legs a break in between. 

I also weighed myself today and saw 206.9 on the scale. Although that is not a set number because scales aren't always truthful, I'm happy to see the numbers go down and not up.
