Well....there are fewer than 15 days left in the month, but Ima gonna pretend that it's the 1st! I've gotta get over this 1st of the month/Jan 1/starting-on-Monday mindset. As you may have noticed from Gardner's Exercise Challenge, my GYM is OPEN!! and I am proud to say, I've established a new schedule....if you can call my 4-day exercise trend a new "schedule"....which I WILL....'cause I WANT it to be a new schedule...

9/13 - 164.0 bad girl at the pub last night and I'm not talking about too much grub. it was a lose/lose.....today I'm puffy and tired; I'm too old to be up past ten pm.
