Sitting Up...

My day was colored by the death of my friend's mother, Penny.  Penny was also my Aunt's sister.  I saw her a dozen times or so that I recall over the course of my life.  I will always remember 2 things about Penny - her her, which can only be described as "interesting", and the fact that she was completely sold out for Jesus.  She is the kind of person that, when I think of her, I will always feel a twinge of regret that I didn't know her better when I could.

I did have to do crunches today.  Did you do yours?  So, here was my pre-set program for the day:

do 9 - rest 60 sec - do 9 - rest 60 sec - do 6 - rest 60 sec - do 6 - rest 60 sec - do max (minimum of 8)

So that's what I did.  Let me say that it's really difficult to 'rest for 60 seconds'.  You basically just lay there on the floor and think about how you haven't done your laundry, how American Idol is about to start, how you need to vacuum...

At the end, you are supposed to go until you are exhausted.  Around number 13, I had to admit that I was basically just moving my shoulders at that point, so I quit there.

Daily tally:  43
