50 slow inverted body rows - 5 x 10
100 ab crunches - 4 x 25

Been busy for a few days. My daughter's grandpa on her mum's side passed away .. she has autism but really loved him and was worried she couldn't make it through the funeral. But she did great and got to say goodbye to her grandpa.

I've been keeping to a good diet and working out and walking 20 K steps on rest days. FBGs have been good mostly in low to mid 5s.
