I have gone to the gym on and off for the past year. When I first started, I was embarrassed to be in the gym, because I didn't know what I was doing, and I was too small. I finally worked with a personal trainer for a few months, and became more confident in the gym. I wasn't serious about working out until the holidays, and then I began really hitting the gym with regularity in January. Since then, I've been going and following a routine.

Until Feb, I worked as a sign language interpreter but discovered it wasn't for me. Now I work with people with developmental disabilities helping them achieve their goals and becoming more independent. It's much more a visible reward at least for me.

You´re right.But it has a reason, why i don´t post much oics from the front....my chest is tiny :) Have to work on it. To teach in 3rd grade must be funny, but also exhausting.
