Goal: Best butt in the gym!!
 

Well, here I am again! I figured I started a new journal that it was time for a new gym log! As of 1/27, I have been on a mission in the gym...get the best butt! lol I have gotten 2 comments on the bum lately but I want to work on it hard core! Also, looking to get way back into the exercise thing! I have been doing great since 1/27. I figured I would start today with recording again here. I took measurements on 1/28:
Measurements:
Neck 13 1/2
Chest 36 1/2
High Waist (Ribcage) 30 1/2
Waist 33
Hips 42 1/2
Thighs R 24 L 23 1/2
Calves 15 1/2
Arms-
Cold: 11 1/2
Flexed: 12 1/4

Not sure about the weight b/c I need to buy a new scale but approx. I am about 183/4. Need to get calipers and take bf%. Also, I took some before pics.

So, here is to a wonderful 2003!!!!!!!

Linda,

I love your goal, "Best butt in the gym!" :lol:

I changed my resistance workout last week and was cracking my friends up this weekend, walking around saying "My ass hurts!" every 5 minutes :lol:

Anyway, sounds like you are doing well and had a fun weekend .. can't say I envy the snow, though :p It was sunny and in the 60s here this past weekend... but before you get too jealous, we are expecting rain this week ;)

Keep up the great work... and cheery attitude! It's nice to read such a positive journal!

Looking forward to the avatar (hint hint), I am such a non-techie, Nat had to shrink my pic for me so I could even post it! :rolleyes:
