Return to the planet of the weights

[avram]

Started working out today, first time since November.

• Weight: 282
• Target weight for end of month: 276 (lose six pounds — hey, the month’s a third over)
• 3 sets of 15 squats, no weights. Too easy, use 3lb weights next time.
• 3 sets of 15 stiff-legged deadlifts, with 12lb weights. Too easy, use 15lb next time.
• 3 sets of 15 single-legged calf raises, with no weights other than my own fat ass. No extra weight needed. I was surprised that I was able to do this, as I previously hadn’t been able to get to more then two sets of about 13. The stairs are good for my calves.
• 3 sets of 15 ab crunches. Only managed two sets, but added some penguin crunches in there for some variability.

That was the upper-body workout. Thursday I do the lower-body workout; next upper-body comes on either Saturday or Sunday, depending on whether I decide to skip Saturdays.

Came downstairs to find a note for me. Someone called about a job offer. I’ve been calling back at half-hour intervals, but the guy is away from his desk. Probably out at lunch, given the time of day.

Update: I got through, I’ve done some sample artwork for the guy, now we see if I get the job.

Also, today was the lower-body workout, Thursday will be upper-body. And I like this title better.
