Yesterday we got out and about a little: Chinatown for dumplings, and then to REI, where I got a pair of water shoes (and some socks), and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude got sandals (and a shirt).
Lunch was at Ping's Dumpling House, where we like a few specific things, and which is handy to the 550 bus stop. We had just ordered dumplings when a stranger poked her head in, and asked us if she'd seen us on the bus. Apparently, having ridden the same bus in from Bellevue made us people to talk to, or something. She was looking for somewhere to have lunch, but also for a specific noodle dish: she'd gone to a place that she read about in the newspaper, and decided it was too expensive. We told her about a couple of things we liked, and then she started asking the proprietor questions, but left because they didn't have those specific noodles. A bit odd; I hope she found somewhere that had a menu she liked, instead of being too focused on the possibly contradictory goals of finding green barley noodles, and getting an inexpensive lunch.
I had a pretty good workout this morning, taking a bit of care because my right foot is tender (I'm healing a small cut on the sole of the foot).
I'm also trying to follow some of my physical therapist's guidance about the exercises. The relevant bit of what he said is that if I can do more than ten repetitions in a set, I should increase the weight/resistance rather than the number of reps. (I'm in the habit of doing sets of either 12 or 15, depending on the exercise.) That advice isn't applicable to the body-weight exercises (the ones I don't list weights for), and I'm still doing twelves on my non-PT exercises, but that's at least partly out of habit.
Shrugs 15 pounds each hand 3 sets of 11 (the therapist and I agreed last week to wait until our next session to increase the weight on this exercise).
Crunches 3 sets of 15
Calf raises, 3 sets of 15
Crunches, 3 sets of 15
Biceps curls, 15 pounds in each hand, 12; 10 pounds left, 15 pounds right, 12 (unbalanced amounts because the pad of my left thumb has been bothering me)
Lat pulldowns, 45 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Standing row 22.5 pounds 12; 25 pounds, 2 sets of 10 (this is a PT thing, though it also replaces the use of a rowing machine from my pre-PT workouts)
Leg curls 85 pounds, 3 sets of 12
External rotation, blue band, right hand, 3 sets of 10
Internal rotation, red band, right hand, 3 sets of 10
Serratus pushups, 2 sets of 10 (I try for three sets here, but it was being difficult).
