Thirteen.

That’s the answer to “How many degrees (Fahrenheit) was it when I left home this morning?” Low relative humidity or not, that’s just cold.

Last night, SaraRules and I went out to do a little Christmas shopping and errand-running.  Our first stop was at Gardner Village; we picked out our 2009 Christmas ornament. From there, we headed to The Downtown Philly Cheesesteaks for dinner – SaraRules had the Philly Bleu, I had the Mushroom Pepper. Next stop: Hobby Lobby. And after that, a pilgrimage to The Garden of Sweden.

After we returned home, we watched Shade, a movie that SaraRules got from Netflix; excerpted from their synopsis:

A trio of grifters (Thandie Newton, Gabriel Byrne and Stuart Townsend) plots the con of a lifetime when they scheme to hustle a notorious card shark known as “The Dean.”  Jamie Foxx and Melanie Griffith co-star in this twisting tale of deception, danger and double cross.

It was a good movie, better than we expected actually. It made for a good evening’s movie watching and I’d definitely recommend it.

Workout
Wes and I made it to the gym today. The fact that I’m still sore from Tuesday’s workout didn’t help… at all:

  • Sit-ups (incline): 3 sets – 10/20/10*
  • Bench Press: 3 sets/8 reps, 205 lbs/195 lbs/185 lbs
  • Lat Pulldowns: 3 sets/10 reps, 100 lbs
  • Side Bends (dumbbell): 3 sets/10 reps per side, 25 lbs
  • Lateral Raises (w/ fly): 3 sets/10 reps, 10 lbs
  • Push-ups: 3 sets/15 reps

Post-workout weight: 190.1 lbs

* – My abs hurt (think: “hurt on top of hurt”) from Tuesday’s workout; I nearly called it good after the first set.

Stray Toasters

Back to the grind…

Namaste.
