Some random thoughts on the weightlifting:
- the 3-times-per-week routine is working out fine so far, I don’t feel like I’m overworking myself
- I am no longer feeling sore between sessions
- I do not look different nor has my weight changed but it’s still early
- I have girlie shoulders. Any exercise that involves the shoulders (like the shoulder press) makes me cry.
- I am probably going to move from 10lb to 15lb weights. For most exercises the 10 pound weights don’t seem to be pushing me enough.
- Slowing down the reps has helped by requiring a bit more effort
- the cheapo mat I have curls up and sucks. Not that it curls up and sucks as part of some trick, though that would be neat. It just generally sucks. I’ll probably be getting a rubber-backed replacement.
- I actually remember to stretch before starting now. Woo.
The real test will come when I am once again gainfully employed and have to sacrifice “fun time” to maintain my routine. I think I’ll be okay there, since I usually work out in the evening.
