Would have done more back, but ran out of time. Not bad of a workout, but I was pretty tired this morning so it was a little less intense than usual.

I slept in yesterday and miss my workout--oops!

And, today I just about slept through my workout. I got up later today and just had time for a 30 min cardio session - aerobic boxing (really works the shoulders and tri's).
And later today I have a tennis lesson.


No more slacking!!!

Tomorrow is 20 min cardio and upper-body!

I'm kindof inbetween workout programs at the moment. I finished my 2 month one and my 3 month hardcore one (I'm excited about this one-My boyfriend and I are starting it the 2nd week of September) doesn't start for a while.

I should see big gains in strength with the upcoming program. And bonus....I get to workout with my sweety!!

so ... who is hippy chick? Where in Canada are you going to school?

 

[hippy_chick]

I go to school at a small University/College in Alberta. I'm going into my 3rd year in a B.A. program with Music as my major. I hope to be a teacher when I'm done!

Sounds excellent!! At first, I thought I read that you were going to the university of Alberta (here at home) and then I re-read it and you're going to a university in Alberta.
