Way to go! You can do this! So glad to see you posting. You and everyone else, that is. :)

You can make it to lift weights even if your friend doesn't go !!! Think about it... you'll benefit soooooo much and you'll be glad you did it later :)

Come afternoon, we'll see how you feel - you dont' even have to worry about it now because it's still morning and you've got other stuff to do. They say one day, one lb at a time, well it's this morning for now and workout isn't now.

Have a great day!!

thanks everyone!!!

oh, and by the way... I did weigh-in for myself this morning... and I've lost 1 pound =) I think I would have lost a bit more if I hadn't slacked off on the exercise earlier in the week and if I hadn't gone out and had so many beers on Tuesday... but hey - a pound is still something!
