Welcome to the wannabe fit fam, Carly! \O/

Small changes are good and make it easier to stick by them. If you quit all your bad habits cold turkey you're gonna feel like you're depriving yourself, and that's basically setting yourself up to fail. You can do it!

Do you use weight lifting gloves at the gym, Sandra? I've noticed I'm starting to get calluses on my hands from lifting and I'm wondering if gloves would make a difference, but I've never tried them!

I don't, no, but I know my gym buddy wants to get some, and I'm thinking I'll likely start feeling like I need some too once I get on heavier weights. Too weak to need them yet, I guess. Haha

Just did my first short Zumba session in a while because I fell off the wagon. Can I get you guys to kick me and make sure I'm doing it two or three times a week?

I'm clearly a bit out of shape, but I'm definitely feeling a lot better for it right now.

Yay Sarah! \O/ Good job! n_n

I use gloves, you can get them pretty cheap for like 5, 10 bucks maybe? Definitely worth the money in the long run.

I feel like I should probably consider wearing long sleeves or at least t-shirts instead of tank tops though because I get a lot of marks from the weight bars on my shoulders/back when I do squats with them. Not pretty. I call them my battle wounds.

Ah Sandra, please don't mention squats. Tomorrow is my leg day and I already feel paralyzed just thinking about it lol.

But leg day is my favorite day! hahaha

I will tell you this- I'll take legs over cardio any day. Unless there's an activity with it, I hate just running. There is no playlist in the world that can keep me motivated to just run with no other purpose.
