Let me spell out the obstacle a little more clearly:  L-A-U-N-D-R-Y.  Yes, laundry.

I STILL don't know)  I could have completed at least one 20 minute, sweaty, calorie-burning, body-sculpting workout, getting me one step closer to reaching my weight-loss goals!  Drives me crazy.  So here are my unsuccessful solutions so far.....]]></description>
