Ugh! Too Many Sit Ups 

Yesterday, I went to the gym by myself, after my gym partner backed out. Feeling rather sanctimonious, I congratulated myself for being so disciplined and proceeded to attack my routine with great vigor. I was at the gym and she was not! As a special challenge, I resorted to a former routine that included the ab machine. It has been some months since I used this in my regular routine, but I was surprised just how easy it was. So I did an extra 15 reps. Boy, was that a mistake. When I tried to get up out of a chair the next day, I couldn’t. Oh, man, what was I thinking. It was a humbling experience. Maybe next time my gym partner poops out on me, I’ll use better judgement.
