So I found this challenge and thought, I should give it a try. That was last night (I think). This afternoon, right before I was getting ready to go downstairs to work out, I saw a quote that said it was better to do something badly than not at all. It was an omen. I am so out of shape that there was no way I was going to do split squats with 45lb dumbbells. Even the 35's and 25's were agony. I know I should play the "I used to be able" game, but damn, I used to be able to split squat with 60lb db! How depressing. Of course, I was also looking at pictures of myself when I was 30 pound lighter so that didn't make my mood any better either. Oh well. 

I did something, and I did it badly. Apparently, that's better than doing nothing at all.
