Tuesday – 02 March 2010
Yesterday turned out to be far less doom-laden than I had anticipated. I consider that (and the fact that I quelled the urge to throat-punch people) One Little Victory.

Last night, with no Olympics to watch, it was “Catch Up on One Hour of 24” night. I think I’m only 4 hours behind now. But, as SaraRules has opera rehearsal for the rest of the week, I might just be able to catch all the way up on this season.

Workout
SaraRules and I also hit the gym last night:

• Elliptical: 10 minutes/5.5 MPH (avg)
• Squats: 3 sets/10 reps, 65 lbs
• Leg Curls: 3 sets/10 reps, 70 lbs
• Leg Extensions: 3 sets/10 reps, 70 lbs
• Compound Row: 3 sets/12 reps, 125 lbs
• Flys (dumbbell, bench): 3 sets/10 reps, 20 lbs
• Side Bends (dumbbell): 3 sets/10 reps, 30 lbs
• Tricep Press: 3 sets/15 reps, 60 lbs
• Treadmill: 3 minutes/3.0 MPH (avg)

This morning’s weight: 182.0 lbs
