My New Fitness Toy

In order to prep for several upcoming 'events' in my life, I have hired a personal trainer. Her name is Nzingha, she and I used to play on a women's rugby team (yeah, rugby, as in kinda like football but without the pads and protective gear...). She suggested I pick up a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM). After much researching it came down to the Polar FT40 or the Polar FT60. I hemmed and hawed for a few days (okay, a few hours) and Mr. W. wisely pointed out "I've never heard anyone ever said - Oh I wish I hadn't picked the better model"...oh Mr. W. and his wise words.


So without further ado may I present to you my new fitness toy:

Welcome!

Welcome to the Best Face Forward Blog. I'm Gretchen. I've been reading other people's blogs for almost a year and have wanted to start my own blog. So here goes...

I plan on blogging about the things I love most in life: family, friends, makeup, nail polish, fitness and my bulldog, Chuck.
I consider myself a 'road warrior' - I travel 4 days a week for work, basically I live in hotels.

This is me and my hubby, Mr. W

This is Rex (white dog) and Chuck (brown dog), the Bulldogs. Sadly Rex passed away in Oct. '11.
