Wild weekend

Hey friends, long time no post. I know, trust me I haven't liked it either. The past few days the Midwest got a surprise snow storm that knocked out our power for the past 3 days.

 So its been a bit chaotic in our hood! LOL!. I've been hitting the hotel gyms hard.  Tried my hand at an elliptical machine. It wasn't too shabby. I was on a PRO Form machine. I liked that I could adjust the tension myself. Also the elliptical had a television build in on top and a place where I could plug my headphones into. Got to watch a little Teen Mom 3 on MTV.
