After a relaxing weekend during which my total physical exertion consisted of snowshoeing about 200 m and back (then collapsing immediately back on the couch), I felt I at least should have the energy for some weights today. So I gave this a whirl:
Row - 1500 m/7:50 min
Squats - 50 x12, 55 x12, 60 x12, 65 x10
Presses - 50 x10, 55 x7, 60 x6, 65* x3, 1, 0
Calf presses (BW, single-leg) - 10, 10, 10/leg
Lat pulls (chin-up grip) - 100 x 8, 8, 6
Row - 1000 m/5:30 min
I cut my last row a little short (I'd planned another 1500 m) because my arms were killing me, I was getting tired, and I still had to stop for groceries AND walk home. So. I was pleased that my hands survived the workout though. A strange thing has occurred, and my midwife-consultants have chalked it up to the affects of both relaxin and mild edema: all the joints in my hands/fingers ache like crazy. I don't seem to be having any other joint problems (even the odd twinge of sciatica is no worse than during the frisbee season), but my hands? I feel like an old lady in that particular place.
Also, the hair on my legs seems to have stopped growing. Or it's disappeared. Anyway, I'm apparently off the hook for shaving for awhile, which is good because my legs are getting harder to reach.
Finally the weigh-in = 155. Progress!
