You're doing great Pam, and a great cheerer :cheer:

Boy, it feels good to be logging these last few workouts. I'm so impressed to see everyone's progress. It really has been a motivator for me. It has also been an odd comfort to me to know I'm not the only one tortuting myself with all this exercise. :D

My goal for January is to complete a total of 15 workouts (averaging 3 per week, but allowing flexibility if needed). I also have built in a little incentive for myself if I meet my challenge ($40 to buy books), with the potential to earn extra for each additional workout completed ($5 extra per workout).
