Didn’t’ see Grace today. Amazing how a 50-year-old can get up early and workout but an 18 year can’t because they are tired and need sleep. What??? I don’t get it. 18-year-olds are supposed to have more energy than a 50-year-old!!

Ok, I felt good about this – NEVER have I ever done more than 20 sit-ups at a time. Today I did 25 while holding a 10 lb weight! Then I dropped the weight and did 20 normal sit-ups. Ok maybe I should clarify, when I say sit-up I mean feet under the chair and using an abmat – but hey, they are sit-ups and I feel good I did that many today!

Have a good day everyone! See you tomorrow!

Ok, I’m tired – went to bed at 2:00 a.m. It was election night so we waited until all the results were in, cleaned up, and then came home. This workout will probably be tough.

Who will be working out today? I’m sure Grace will NOT be – she didn’t know how she could only get a few hours of sleep and be able to workout.

Let’s see, probably Bob, Dave, Nikki, Lacey, Heather, and me. Yep – I was right, no Grace. I asked her last night why a 50 year old can do more than an 18 year old? She said, “cause you are used to not sleeping, I need sleep.”
