What is a baby boomer? People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.

Had a good nights sleep. Was able to get right back to sleep after getting up around 2. Got up for good at 5.
Good workout this morning. Increased number of swings. Up to 23 now. I remember when I strugged to get 15 done so even though 23 does not seem like much to me [...]
Received word last night that Ken, a co-worker, suffered an apparent heart attack last night on the way home from work. Ken was out last Thursday because he did not feel well. I spoke to him on Friday and discovered that he is 6 months older than me. I am hopefull that this is [...]
Not that happy with this mornings workout. It looks like my right shoulder is becoming more and more an issue. Even with the reduced number of Turkish Get Ups I ran into trouble. On the third set I went down from the 18 lb KB to a 10 pound weight. That seemed to help. No [...]
Went up for the Sunday paper and as I was leaving the store I saw the same guy I wrote about last Sunday morning.
Not a good weeking for my eating plan. I ate things I normally do not. Back on plan tomorrow. Going to really stick to it for the week since I [...]

When I went out this morning the sky was bright blue…and the moon was still shining. Not something you see every monring.

Woke up with one of my headaches. I feel like such a whiner but these headaches about put me down. This was about 5AM so I took some meds which usually provide relief within 15 to 30 minutes. They helped a bit but it was still bad as 6AM started to roll around. I [...]

Good workout this morning, kept exact rest times except between 4 and 5, took a bit extra. Took my Muscle Milk and enjoyed it during my stretching and while I was getting cleaned up.
Thursday
Circuit – Repeat for 5 [...]
Slept until 2A and then tossed and turned until 5A. I am sure I fell asleep sometime during that time, just can’t remember. Stress level at work has dropped a bit so my nights are not as consumed with work related items.
What a mess on Biggest Loser last night. Neil cheated to gain [...]
Good news, Bad news.
As usual, I woke up at 2AM. Could not get back to sleep so went downstairs and crawled onto the couch, not expecting to sleep. Guess what, woke up at 7:30A. So the good news is that I actually got some sleep, bad news I was so far behind [...]
