I dawdled through the morning, before [livejournal.com profile] cattitude pointed out that my mood suggested that I needed to go work out. I briefly considered a walk/hike in the hilly part of Inwood Park instead of the gym, but Cattitude was attacked by a book and not up to a long walk, so gym it was.

The workout was good, despite excess heat (by my standards, anyway) in the free weight area. I was going to stop at Ben and Jerry's afterward, but the store is closed for renovations until July. *sigh* (That's the one at 43rd and Eighth.) I settled for the Baskin Robbins across from the bakery on 181st, since I was stopping off for rye bread anyway. Then groceries--and there were enough dubious-looking packages in the meat department that I decided I didn't trust anything back there, so we're probably having salami sandwiches for supper.

Gym numbers:
Cardio, 33 minutes, top heart rate 147
Calf machine, 75 pounds, 12, 12, 10--cramp in my right calf on that last rep, so stopped.
Bench press, 60 pounds, 12, 10; 55 pounds, 8+2
Seated leg curl, 100 pounds, 12, 10; 90 pounds, 12. That third set was supposed to be either more weight or more reps, but by 12 I was having trouble getting the bar all the way down.

Tricep pulldown, 50 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 45 pounds, 15
Wrist curls, 35 pounds, 3 sets of 15 (There's no forearm stuff in the Xpressline, so I'm glad not to have lost ground here.)

Back arch with physio ball, 3 sets of 17

Seated leg press, 270 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Bicep curl, 40 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Lateral raise: just up and back down, 7.5 pounds each hand, 15; full up-in-down,5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15

Crunches, 20, 30, 20
