June Workout Progress

Well, I didn't reach all of my goals this month, but I'm okay with that :) I didn't get up to 60 minutes on the treadmill because I found out that I actually like the elliptical more ;) And tonight, I got up to 42 minutes on the elliptical! I also conquered the stair monster this month & got up to 8 minutes on that a few days ago. I only lost 4.2 lbs. this month, but I think I set my expectations a little too high anyway.
