Added the Dips for fun.
Some discomfort in my left shoulder. Similar to what I was having in my right shoulder. It did not hinder anything.

Swiss Ball Crunches: 15×3
Thoughts: Weighed in at 182 this morning. Whew, I put me feet close together on the crunches and damn near rolled off the ball. I also close my eyes when I do these as I feel it adds a bit more of a stability challenge than when my eyes are open.
On another, sad note, my wife’s grandmother passed away last night. She’s in Washington state (can’t remember the name of the town). To the best of my knowledge, she wasn’t ill, but I believe she had a pacemaker. She lived a full life.
