Lunch today was corn on the cob from the Greenmarket, with a couple of yellow plums for dessert. There are things I really like about summer, and the fresh food is one of them. (Temperatures warm enough not to need clothes are nice; it being too hot for clothes to be comfortable is a nuisance.)
Then I went downtown and spent the afternoon with my mother, in the hotel she's staying at. She has a suite, with a little kitchen, so we were able to make tea and, later, raisin toast. There are also actual couches to sit on; quite pleasant. We talked about all sorts of things for a few hours, and then I went to the gym branch near my office for a quick workout. A reasonable Sunday after a very quiet Saturday.
No cardio, for logistical reasons; briefly rolled out IT band, etc., at the start
Squats leaning on physio ball, 2 sets of 15
Ab work lying on ball, feet against wall, 2 sets of 10
Calf raise leaning on ball, 2 sets of 15
Brief attempt at standing on foam roll, but the foam was too squishy and wouldn't hold its shape while I stood on it.
Biceps curls sitting on ball, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20
Rowing sitting on ball, 40 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Hip adduction, 90 pounds, 12, 10; 80 pounds, 12
Hip abduction, 70 pounds, 9; 55 pounds, 10
Stretches (wearing my street clothes, after I'd showered)
I haven't used either of those hip machines in quite a while; I suspect I will be stiff or sore tomorrow, despite stretching and the NSAID I am about to take.
