On the way in, I reserved a space in the yoga class for Wednesday; I didn't need a reservation last week, but it can't hurt.

Then I did much of the usual: three sets of hip adduction (15 reps @ 100 pounds), two of ab- (15, then 14, @90 pounds) (someone else sat down on the abduction thing while I was doing my third adduction set). Twenty-five minutes of cardio, a good high heart rate (I'd set the timer for 30, but my right foot was feeling confined by the shoe, and anything over 20 is good, so I stopped). Managed three sets of 15 reps, at 45 pounds, on the bench press. If it keeps going well, maybe I can increase the weight before September. Leg curl, two sets at 60 pounds, the second was difficult enough that I [um, can't remember if I did a lighter set or just stopped]. Adjustable row, 3 sets of 15 @ 90 pounds--that's still difficult, but it's doable. Triceps, 2 sets of 70 with the metal handle, one of 45 with the rope.

Tried the seated leg press. Got through one set of 15 @ 160pounds (did the first rep at 180, and realized that was a bad idea, so took off one plate), and partway through the second realized that "stop being stupid", my knees are not expendable. So I did some stretching, then showered and went to Amy's Bread for a sandwich and a cup of tea.

Not been to the gym since I stopped having someone to go to the gym with... [FX: sigh] ... wish I lived close enough to ask you if I could gym with you...

You're doing better than I am! I only managed 70 or 80 pounds on the hip 'duction yesterday, three sets of ten reps on each machine (though I was supposed to do two of 20, everything else was three of ten and I didn't notice the change). But I've never used those machines before, or targetted those muscles. They're complaining now!

...on the other hand, I did three sets of ten @ 230 pounds on the leg press, because I've been using that machine for months, and those muscles are used to carrying a lot.
