Something new to add
Gavin - I only went to the gym once this week so I am going to make more of an effort to get there at least 3 times this week

RJ - I only went twice and went pretty easy since it's been so long and I'm way out of shape. Need to up that. Also, I went to Burger King two times. :(

-------------
Did you have any non-scale related accomplishments?
Gavin - Had much more energy after working out.

RJ - I got a new scale. It gave me an error which means it's overcapacity. It has a max capacity of 400lb. Apparently it's broken, too. LOL
