Inside is hubby’s homemade elk bratwurst. I went to the gym with him once last week. With games and practices we are limited on time :/. I think I need to do push-ups at home!  

My husband gets to take his clients on various hunting and fishing trips to discuss business. Sometimes he gets to hunt and bring home the meat. He made jerky, brats, hot dogs and ground meat from the elk. Thankfully it’s almost gone because I don’t care for it much. BUT it keeps in the freezer better than other meat. This is over a year old I think and still tastes like when it was a month old.  

I haven’t done a push-up in months! Back to the bar at the gym. The husband put on weights and I couldn’t lift it! Freaked me out thinking I was gonna drop it on myself. Turns out he put on 25’s! That’s what I was doing at my peak! (Could do more on the smith machine because it balances it for me) Went to 10’s and knocked out 2 sets but had to skip the third. I’ve told my two youngest they have to do push-ups with me. Both are small and weak and need to gain muscle and strength for basketball. If they refuse they’ll have to run. Win win either way as they need to build up better endurance too but they hate both 😝. Hope you have a Happy (and safe) Thanksgiving too!
