So Not (Mine)crafty

    You know, I thought being at home all summer long would drive me a little nuts, just because I had been so used to my routine during the school year.  I was up early every morning, at work by 7:00 A.M. and stayed busy until View Post

I really felt like I phoned in all of the cardio on Day 7 of the 30 Day Shred workout.  I did great with everything else, but the cardio killed me.  I just keep thinking  by now I should be breezing through this much easier, but I'm not.  I have 3 View Post
