Good morning, Jeanie!

Don't feel so bad... Despite all the fuss, we shouldn't focus on the size we wear so much as how it looks. And you know you look great (no matter what you say).

The LAST time I wore a 0, it was in 11th grade. I was 17 years old. And it was way too tight, but i squeezed in anyway because my best friend was a size 0 and gosh darnit, I was gonna be a size 0 too.

The free weights -- I plan to do the same today. I want to bench. I've never done it alone. Always with the trainer. I'm gonna have to ask someone to spot me, and this being the kind of gym it is, whatever guy is there and I ask him, I'm sure he'll think I'm "available" or hitting on him. There are not very many serious people there at the time I go, so hopefully there is at least one. Or I'll just bug a trainer there.

During lunch time, it's mostly stay-at-home moms, or overweight or slightly pudgy executive/office types, going through the motions. Or young kids (I say "kids" loosely -- the under 21 crowd), lifting way more than they can, and struggling, but trying to look cool and bad-ass.

I can't wait until I have a two-bedroom place so I can make one of the rooms a home gym. That's all I need wherever I end up moving to next. That and a good kitchen.

I hate asking for a spot, but when I do, I grab a hottie!
I have another long day so I will try to call you between work and class.

Hell yes i like it. I would never guess you're a 9! Goes to show how sizes are meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

I like it. It's like doing light cardio at the same time.

I'm changing things up in a week or two, higher weight lower reps. Lately i've just been trying to increase weight and keeping the reps high, the way i'd been doing it the past 12 weeks.

we're getting supposedly, plus 7 celcuis Thursday ... that's my kind of winter.

Workout question - do you find working chest and back a long workout?

that's not long at all. Do you feel you can work both muscle groups? I just ask because some find doing chest and back a very taxing workout.
