I've made it to the gym twice this week. This afternoon, I observed that I didn't want to lift weights, but I wanted to have lifted them, and the only way to get that was to go lift them. Thinking about it a bit more while exercising, I realized that I like exercising when I'm doing it. I also like it afterwards, and in the medium-long future tense, such as thinking on Thursday about a workout Friday afternoon. What I don't seem to like is the short-term future, like thinking at 3:00 about lifting weights at 5:30. Still, I persevere.
It was 2/3 of a workout because I was doing crunches, felt a sudden ache in my left shoulder, and remembered that the moment when the right rotator cuff manifested as really bad had been on that very mat, doing crunches. I doubt there's any connection, but nonetheless, I said "stop," got up, and headed straight for the shower (the usual stretch device seemed to also have the possibility of triggering shoulder issues if there are any there, though I hope and expect that there aren't).
Cardio, 13 minutes + 1 minute cooldown, top heart rate 154
Leg press, 220 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Chest press, 55 pounds, 12, 9
Glute, 55 pounds, 2 sets of 15 with each leg
Balance ~fly, 50 pounds with each leg forward, some pain in left elbow but I finished the set anyway
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Crunches, 30, 7
Back arches, 17
