Week 25 Workout Update

Week 3 of the Weight-Loss Challenge Completed! Weight in was today and I am down 5lbs from starting. I have already felt so much more energy this past week then the entire month! Oh what a different exercise can make!! I started lifting weights this past week, I'm starting off slow as I really don't want to get myself too sore as I have done in the past. So I'm not doing very many reps or sets, I'll be working my way up though. I decided to add in detail my lifting routine as well.
