What a weekend!

I survived! My brother's family of 5 were in town because my nephew had a squash tournament here. The 3 kids and the dog stayed with me in my apartment. The kids are sweet as can be and I adore the pup, but 5 minutes after they arrived the place looked like it was hit by a tornado. I had a great time taking the pup out to romp with other dogs in the parks around here, but everything was muddy, and of course he tracked mud all over the apartment.

Anyway, I survived. Just wanted to tell you that the kids tried the ab routine from Slow & Heavy and the floor work from PLB, and I could not believe it, but they actually had a hard time doing the exercises! These kids are all award-winning athletes in their age groups (9, 12 and 18), and they are in great shape, but none of them had strong enough hamstrings to get through all of Cathe's hamstring raises on the ball, they could barely even do the froggy inner thigh move, and they couldn't hold the planks. It surprised me because I would never have imagined that there was anything physical that I could do at age 48 that they wouldn't be able to do 10 times better. I felt a little bit less like dumpy Aunt Nancy, which was nice.

The 18-year old told me that I was her favorite Aunt. I asked her why and she said because her other aunts are boring, but I'm Cool Aunt Nancy. How bout that???? Or maybe they just know how to get what they want out of me. Anyway, I'm a sucker and I'm lovin it.
 
LOL, Nancy, glad you made it. I can't believe you fit that many people/creatures in your apt, though. The most I've ever been able to manage in my apt is two people--one on the couch, one on the floor, and I *still* had to jump over them at 6 a.m. to get to the bathroom so I could get dressed to do my cardio. Plus, on his way to and from his food dish, the cat (now departed..) insisted on jumping right over the head of the guest sleeping/snoring on the floor.

Cool about beating the kids' workouts. :)
 
See Aunt Nancy! You proved that with age, we just get better & better! :7 How nice of you to put THREE kids AND a dog up. That's why you are Cool Aunt Nancy. Glad you had fun.

Jes-
I was so exhausted, I actually took Monday off work! I'm still tired now.

Squash is kind of like tennis in that it's played with a racquet, but both players stand next to each other taking turns hitting the ball against a wall. Does that make sense?
 
thanks! that makes perfect sense! i love swatting things with raquets! i should try that!
