Here are my stats on this one: Front Lunges 20 lbs 24 to 40 reps; sit ups from 26 to 38; and squat jumps (Note I did alternating knee raises to the side since I can’t jump or go up on toes) went from 44 to 58.

Ok it was a fantastic workout, but I will also share stats for my Fit Test … I used 20lb dumbbells for both and my Hang Cleans went from 12 to 21 and my flys went from 20 to 40 😃 BAM!!

I am with you on all counts … including the decision not to procreate 🤣🤣🤣

I am just doing Week 11 this week … my eye procedure put me out for 2 weeks. It doesn’t matter when you do it, just that you do it … right 🙃

I bought some off Facebook marketplace during the grind and have added to that since then with a pair of 35

I’m working hard on the sleep thing right now. Not sure how well I will maintain it when I return full time to the office in June when my RA is over … but my plan is to figure it all out somehow. Also, I won’t work out if I don’t do it in the morning. I will walk anytime, but once I am put together I don’t wanf to sweat 😆, plus I find I have an even harder time falling asleep (already a difficult task) if I work out prior to bed time 🙃

Trace Kennedy I will so miss seeing you and squeezing your neck. You are such a beautiful light in this world 🥰

Thanks so much for the long shout out, Jenny! 🤩 If you want the whole list, the hips are both replaced. The left knee has been replaced twice. The left ankle has been replaced twice and the right ankle is fused… So basically bionic.😆. But I truly believe attitude gets you through whatever and you do not know how much I needed a boost this morning. If you don’t recall, I am employed by the IRS and thus my current future job picture is pretty uncertain 🫣 I have been doing my very best to remain the ‘cheerleader’ for my coworkers and friends in the same situation and keep optimism for myaelf, too … and well, some days are easier than others 🥲 so from the bottom of my heart … Thank You for somehow knowing I needed my crown adjusted this morning 😘 ILY 🤟🏻
