278!

Another pound lost since yesterday! Looks like I’m managing to keep off that weight I lost while sick.

  1. Weight: 278
  2. Dumbbell Squats: 3 sets of 15, with 15-lb weights.
  3. Dumbbell Straight-Leg Deadlifts: 3 sets of 15, with 21-lb weights. May change over to dumbbell step-ups next time.
  4. Single-Legged Calf Raises: 3 sets of 15, with a 9-lb weight.
  5. Abdominals: 2 sets of 20 Hot Point crunches, 1 set of 20 penguins.

I spent some time last night using the ExRx.net workout guidelines to redesign my workouts. My lower-body workout came out unchanged, but the upper-body workout has a couple of different exercises in it. I’ve also added in stretching, something I was missing from my Hot Point days. I’m using a 2 Day Split Upper/Lower template, doing on basic exercises (the ones not in italics), and choosing exercises that can be done with only dumbbells and stuff I have around the house (stairs, a bed).
