julie has a job now. she wakes early and is usually out of the house by 8 am.

when i awake an hour later or so, i have ample time before i leave for work to engage in an activity that embarrassment kept me from participating in during her unemployment.

i bought two 20 lb weights several months ago after brain walked me through his rigorous morning routine.

i pulled them out of the closet yesterday, felt the rough grip of the handles and decided to see what happens. i did a single set of four routines. spent about fifteen minutes. started light. today i did the same. tomorrow ill do the same.

i figure ill continue with my single set for the rest of the week. ill introduce a few more exercises per brains suggestion, and then ill begin the three time rotation.

id like to keep it up this time. it certainly feels good. and the excitement of the small changes i could see in my physical stature over the next several months is encouraging.

now i just need a large mirror. some of that terrible tasting milkshake stuff. and breakfast beyond the coffee and triscuits i had this morning.

and ill need to work on my workout noises.
