(This post actually covers yesterday's endeavors. Please adjust your set accordingly.)
In which I discover that going down to the gym at 12 sharp, when Open Time begins, is suboptimal because everyone else does it too and therefore you may have to wait for a treadmill. Happily, I didn't have to wait too long. I did the same routine from last week. I realize that even though it's still really (if variably) hard mentally (or emotionally, perhaps; something like that), if I look past the Wah and Ugh and I Can't, I'm actually holding up better to it physically. Still overheated at the end, but not as completely flat.
Then did a bit of weights to finish up:
Modified shoulder press: 2 sets of 10 reps at 2#
Assisted dip: 2 sets of 10 reps, at 155# <-- that was super hard.
Was up half a pound, no big deal. I don't know about today, because I was at
sweh's and his scale has always been quite different from mine.
Today I'm slated for the Yoga class they offer. I'm kind of ambivalent. I am feeling a strong urge to exercise in a much more energetic way, but on the other hand, the stretchy and meditative-ness of yoga is probably something I could really use right about now.
