I&#8217;m pretty good at pullups, pushups, and unweighted squats, but who wants to string together 5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 squats for TWENTY MINUTES? The last time I did it, according to the big board, I did 13 rounds. This time I did something like 18. I say, &#8220;Something like 18,&#8221; because I&#8217;m so tired that I can&#8217;t remember what I did exactly. I know the fastest guy at the gym did 28, but he&#8217;s a nutbag. I think I was able to do it because of my diet: I had a salad at lunch on Monday and Tuesday but today I had a taquitos plate. I had a hard time staying awake in meetings after that and I had a lot of meetings this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and just to make things interesting we decided to bet on the outcome of one of the couples in the gym. They&#8217;re a new couple and much more fun to tease because of it. We spotted the woman 4 rounds because she&#8217;s only been coming in a month or two and the guy has been in since I started back in January some time. So I bet on the woman. THMFIC bet on the guy. If I won I got a ride home (which I always get anyway) and if he won I had to mop the floor (which I always do anyway). I WON. So, the woman is now my favorite nurse. I&#8217;m sure this will get me the stink-eye from the other nurses in the gym, my neighbors the nurses, and probably even my ex-girlfriend, but none of them ever won me a ride home (which I always get anyway).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So my sister thinks I&#8217;m overdoing a little in the bathroom and the contractor&#8217;s wife (my sister&#8217;s friend Wendy) was looking through the pland and was wondering why I was getting such a nice shower.
