Trying for Efficiency

I was a slug all weekend since Chinese school was cancelled on Saturday. That meant I stayed in my PJs all day, even to walk the dog. Sunday was swim class, then the reception. It was sparsely attended so I had a lot of pastries leftover. My husband volunteered to take them to his office. Yay! I might have a sale pending though. The one person I didn't recognize turned out to be the husband of a lady I'm friendly with at the gym. She's a concert pianist and gives lessons on Sundays. Her husband seemed quite impressed with the work and said there were two in particular he thought would be nice in their house. Because I didn't want to disappoint myself, I hadn't prepared a price list. A friend of mine started advising me on how to handle the sale after the fellow left. I got my fingers crossed.

Beyond that, I was completely and totally inactive. Probably why I felt a tad energetic at the gym. Logged in 5.7 miles between the LifeFitness Crosstrainer and the Precor Elliptical. The Smith machine was free so I did my Flat Benching and Inclined Benching. And then, taking a page from someone else's workout log, I supersetted my DB Lateral Raises with Inclined Reverse DB Flyes. I used the same 15 rep, 20 lb DBs for both movements. It seems a more efficient use of time and I'm certainly tired after that. Just for fun, I add back the Rip Crushers (or Rip Skulls, or whatever they're called) starting off with just the EZ bar (15 lbs).

I feel pretty done but still do my full Mat Stretch. I'm thinking I must've put on at least 5 lbs so I'm surprised when the gym scale reads 110.6 lbs. I'm good with that. I haven't increased any weights lately,  mostly because my left wrist is still bothering me from last week's pressing. This week I just put my feet on the head rest of the adjustable bench and benching felt much better rolling the bar out (away from me). And yet it's okay when I'm doing Inclined Presses. Of course, I can't move as much weight either. Oh well...
