Expect AMAZING.

This is going to be a busy week for me -- I'm starting school this week with 2 classes afternoon and night class-- my last class ends at 9:30-- so when I get home, i workout then I watch some T.V. then go to bed ..I'm excited about this is because one of my classes I get to learn about print -- print ad's, logo cards, etc... and my other class is advertise your designs. Exciting huh?!

Last friday -- I went on the treadmill for 20 minutes at 3.4 speed and my legs was burning towards to the end of my time limit..-- then I  did leg presses and stairs climber.. and when I left I forgot my anytime fitness membership key -- so i went back and look for it the and the staff did. I could not find it at home to look in the car, So the next day I had to buy a new key for only $25 which isn't so bad. I got a necklace from Atlanta drift race that Garrett and I went to -- they were throwing free stuff and got this NO5 energy drink necklace to put my membership key in.. 

I've seen people who are addicted to McDonald's, Wendy's and taco bell.. Do you know much fat are in the serving-- ( you should watch for sodium imtake, and calories, and carbohydrates..)

BIG MAC -- One sandwich contains 540 calories, 260 which comes from fat and 29 grams of fat.
French Fries -- Medium size; 380 calories, calories from fat is 171 and 19 grams of fat.
That's 920 total for calories and 48 grams of fat total.
