I was doing MIS last night using my brand new birthday gift - a barbell. I only had 15lbs on it since this was my first time to use it. My 17 year son walked through and made a couple of comments about what a wimp I was because of the light lbs. I just ignored him and continued my workout. When I finished the entire tape (yahoo!) I made him come downstairs and try the upper body. HA-HA-HA! He couldn't even finish the first 2 segments of chest & back using the same lbs I was. Quote: "I have to admit this is tough Mom - I'm sweating - my left arm hurts"! He couldn't believe Cathe was using a 35lb barbell and 20lb dumbells. Kept saying "Nah No Way!" You should have seen my victory dance around the room. For at least a little while - I had respect from a teenager!!!! What a great feeling!!!!!!!!!
17 year old son has to eat his words!!!

Sorry, I forgot to wish you a Happy belated Birthday!!! I also got a barbell for my birthday this month. Isn't it great to get something we love & will truly use? What day was your SPECIAL day??? (Mine was the 15th.)

Great story! I loved the part about your victory dance and the barbell in front of the fireplace. I imagine most of our homes look like that. Heather
