I did something today that I'd sworn off years ago: shopped for clothing between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I did this with [livejournal.com profile] eleanor for company, moral support, and practical help in finding things. So I have another pair of pajamas, which I hope fit better than the previous, which I still need to return (there were none of those left, in XL or anything else; this is a different design, not quite as heavy a fabric, which I suspect is an advantage).

It was a good workout.
Cardio, 33 minutes, top heart rate 154

Assisted chin-up, 10, 5
Calf machine, 50 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 45 pounds, 15
Bench press, 60 pounds, 10; 55 pounds, 11, 8
Seated leg curl, 85 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 80 pounds, 15
Triceps pulldown, 45 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 40 pounds, 15
Wrist curl, 25-pound bar, 3 sets of 15. Found myself leaning forward a bit during the second set, and had to make an effort to keep my feet planted firmly on the floor.

Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 16
Yoga tree, 4 sets of {2 each side}; I was doing particularly well, so put my foot above rather than below my knee for a few

Adjustable row, 90 pounds, 2 sets of 12
Leg press, 220 pounds, 3 sets of 13
Bicep curl, 35-pound bar, 2 sets of 12

Stretches


In addition to having had a solid workout, I'm pleased to be back in the every-other-day pattern. It's going to be interrupted again, if not by the gym's holiday schedule then by my travels, but I figure I can get in two workouts and maybe a yoga class in the next week.
