My nuts fell out of their bag onto the floor of the car (that’s as in almonds, Jim, sheesh!) so I didn’t have almonds after working out

Went back to Gold’s in evening (had meeting in morning and couldn’t finish abs)
Three sets of two different ab machines Three sets of 30
Hanging leg lifts 3 sets of 11
For cardio I tried the Recumbent per Roberts suggestion. I did 10 minutes. I started out with the seat too far back and hyperextended my knee so ten minutes was plenty. Plus that worked out thigh muscles and I’ll work into more minutes each time I try it. I did like it. I just needed to adjust the seat.
I came home and smiled at my Treadmill with the promise and pat on its start button that I’d return to it tomorrow! I LOVE MY PRECOR! I drooled on my stretching machine!
