		<description><![CDATA[To work towards my New Year&#8217;s Goal Number One, the hubby and I decided to join a gym.  A real one.  With treadmills.  And elliptical machines.  And various weightlifting apparatus (or would that be apparatii,Latin for causing immense pain).  And trainers.  And, perhaps the most intimidating, tiny little gym rats with butts so firm you [...]
