It's been awhile!

I haven't posted in almost a week!! Things have just been crazy. I have been lurking and keeping up with almost everyone. Even though I haven't been updating, I am on track and things are going well.
I got in 1.5 hours of cardio over the weekend, and 40 minutes on Monday. I've done 2/3 ab work-outs for this week so I am feeling good. I am planning on getting to the gym after work today (assuming I get out before 9). Derek is setting up the treadmills and weight bag this weekend so I can start running at home on rainy days. We really want to start saving money to finish off our basement so I figured the extra $30/month I spend on a gym membership could be saved for that. I got in an average of 5.5 hours of cardio/week last year without a gym membership and we have more space now so I think I can easily keep it up!
On another subject, most of you know about the I-35W bridge that collapsed here in MN last August.?. Well, yesterday I was selected (as well as about 10 other graduates) to visit the new bridge site and take a close up look at the construction and design of this new landmark. I love this sort of thing so I was on a high all day yesterday. The bridge is going to be a pretty amazing structure built in remarkable time (finishing this October). Anyways, it was just really cool to see and hear all about it.
Not much else going on here. I have been cooking A LOT lately, mostly recipes out of the new Hungry Girl cookbook. Our refrigerator is FULL of easy to grab meals. Makes life so much easier!
