This is the first gym post in a week because I didn't go to the gym on Tuesday.

The locker room I normally use is still closed for renovations. On a whim, I stepped on the scale on the way to the shower after exercising (wearing only shorts and sports bra). 183 pounds. I don't think I've lost ten pounds without noticing; I wonder what my shoes weigh. Five percent of body weight isn't a large enough "unexplained weight loss" to mention to a doctor, is it?

Cardio, 21 minutes, top heart rate 132.
Chest press, 75 pounds, 10; 65 pounds, 12
Seated calf raise, 75 pounds, 13, 12; 70 pounds, 10
Leg press, 300 pounds, 3 sets of 15. A couple of weeks of sets of 15, and it'll be time to increase the weight (and go back to sets of 12 for a little while).
Balance not-quite-fly, 50 pounds, 15 with each leg forward. No significant pause between sides this time.
Adjustable row, 80 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Triceps pulldown, 50 pounds, 15, 9; 40 pounds, 8. I expected to manage a full 15 at the lower weight, but it was feeling like a strain, so I muttered an obscenity and stopped.

Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arch, 3 sets of 17
Yoga tree, 4 sets of {3 on each leg}

Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds in each hand, 2 sets of 15; 3 pounds each, 15.
Hip adduction, 110 pounds, 2 sets of 13
Hip abduction, 90 pounds, 13; 80 pounds, 13
Bicep curls, 25 pounds, 3 sets of 25. I may have to take that back up to the higher weight and fewer reps, because 3 sets of 30 or 35 seems like a short trip to tedium.
