Today was day 21 of our 30 day Plank Challenge. The goal was 4 minutes and :50 seconds. We started with a few stretches and then I began counting down 5-4-3-2.... before I could get to 1 and say go, the gym door swung open and we all looked up to see who was there.... Nobody....... Then we looked down, and much to our surprise, Jimbo and Bear came marching in. The girls had never met Jimbo in person before, so introductions were made, hands and paws were shook and I explained to Jimbo that we only had about 10 minutes before Spin Class started and we needed to do our planks for the challenge. Jimbo, who was sporting his new workout clothes and Converse sneakers, told me that hed like to give it a whirl, because he was the North Pole Plank Champion three years running. Who knew?? Jimbo is also quite the Ladies elf, and insisted on being between Jeanne and Suzie in case they needed encouragement or a demonstration of proper form and technique. Other than making eyes at Suzie and shaking his booty when All About that Bass started playing, he was fairly well behaved. Christmas elves seem to always have the inside scoop. Was it a coincidence that he just happened to show up at the gym, just happened to be dressed to work out and just happened to have his own personal yoga mat with him? hmmmm Jimbo inspired the ladies, Bear cheered on Jimbo, and we all managed to complete our goal. It looks like at least for the day, we all managed to make it onto Santas Nice List. Just keep in mind over the next several weeks that the reason Santa Sees you when youre sleeping, and knows when youre awake, and knows if youve been bad or good is because your Christmas elf is keeping tabs and letting him know. Im luckier than most, Jimbo and I have a special arrangement. We have mutually agreed to keep our minor indiscretions strictly confidential. My only concern is that we Pinky Swore on it, and Im not sure if the fact that he doesnt have any pinkies makes our verbal contract null and void. Perhaps before I get really wild and crazy and start channeling my inner Party Animal, I should seek legal counsel. Happy Holidays from Jenny(my daughter) Prince(the wonder dog) Jimbo and I.
