My weight is stubbornly refusing to budge; I’ve been wandering over the same two-pound range since I started working out again. Perhaps I need to be more scrupulous about what I eat.
( Upper-body workout numbers )Gaining back a pound and a half in the middle of the week was only a bit weird. Losing a pound and a half on my day off was very weird.
( Lower-body workout numbers )For my first upper-body workout since November, I looked up my last one and knocked one weight level off of each exercise. I ought to have gotten at least one 10, but no. I think for next time I’ll try incrementing the follow-up exercises.
( Upper-body workout numbers )And then, idjit that I am, I forgot my graphics tablet at home. Fortunately it was all mouse work today.
This workout schedule was a good idea; I’m getting to work more awake even though I’m waking up an hour earlier.
I’ve clearly lost some capability over the past few months, but I expect it’ll come back quick enough.
( Lower-body workout numbers )OK, another half-pound gone, one more half-pound and I’m back to 261, my lowest point. Then, on to new territory.
An odd, frustrating workout today. Lots of weird effort progressions. Only one 10, on the Lying Triceps Extensions, and my form was way off on those, with my wrists taking more of the workout than they ought.

batyatoon made for ladymondegreen, and losing two pounds anyway, that rocks pretty hard too. Goddamn, still no 10s on the lower-body workout. It’s like my legs and abs can soak up whatever punishment I give them. I mean, it’s still effort, a level-9 effort is nothing trivial; neither is a level-8. But I raised the bar on three of my muscle groups today, and still no 10s. My calf muscles seem especially tough.
Eh, there are far worse things that can go wrong with a workout. And somewhere down the line, I ought to come out of this with really great-looking legs.
( Lower-body workout numbers )Hot damn! I need to remind myself to do this more often! I just upped the poundage on a bunch of my upper-body routines, and got pretty good results. I pulled off the full six reps of Seated Dumbbell Curls with 25-lb weights, which I couldn’t budge for even one rep the last time I tried them, over the summer. Yeah!

The lower-body continues to be the poor stepchild of my workout routines. Not a disaster, since my legs get a hefty workout just carrying my fat ass around, and my ab routine is pretty tough.
( Lower-body workout numbers )Week whatever. Thirteen? I’m done with tracking the weeks.
Got up unusually early today, decided to wait till after 9 to avoid the (possibly imaginary; it’s not like I’ve ever gone in that early and seen them) workout-before-work crowd, which turned into getting there after 10. Good workout, though. Two 10s, and almost a third.
Gained back three pounds over the weekend. I wound up having three eat-bad-food days instead of the one I’m allowed. The good news is that bowl of leftover Halloween candy (and yes, there’s still some left, or was last I looked) in the kitchen holds no appeal for me anymore. The bad news is, um, we’re out of bananas. Also whole wheat pitas, and pesto wraps.
