Four out of five
The big achievement is that I got to the gym, and did a fairly thorough workout. Not quite my two-hour complete run-through, but the full half hour of cardio, several weight training exercises, and my mat work.
Before that,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude and I bounced around town together. We have deposited checks at our respective banks. I have half a pound of golden Assam tea, and just drank a cup thereof. I also have twelve red marigolds, ready to plant outside when I dig up the energy (tomorrow, I hope). "Four out of five" because I got to the optician's and discovered that my notebook, and hence my eyeglass prescription, were in a different bag than the one I was carrying. Still, a fairly productive day, and we got a good look at the garden behind Jefferson Market Library. The apple tree blooming there has a definite scent--for some reason, the one nearest us, in Inwood Hill Park, has been bright but completely scentless this season.
I dropped some weights slightly, because I hadn't been to the gym in over a fortnight.
Cardio, 33 minutes, top heart rate 142
Calf machine, 60 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 55 pounds, 15
Bench press, 60 pounds, 12, 8
Seated leg curl, 95 pounds, 2 sets of 12; 90 pounds, 13
Tricep pulldown, 45 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 17
Yoga tree, 4 sets of {2 on each leg}, increasing difficulty as I went: from arms outstretched to palms together in front of me to arms out but with the lifted foot resting against my thigh instead of my calf.
Bicep curls, 35-pound bar, 3 sets of 15
(Full) lateral raise, 7.5 pounds per hand, 2; 5 pounds per hand, 2 sets of 15
Seated leg press, 260 pounds, 2 sets of 13; 255 pounds, 13
