Today had it all: late breakfast with two of my best friends in the world; a nice, moderate workout; time on the patio with my dogs, the laptop, and a book; and a nap.
Just about anytime on Saturday or Sunday is a great time to visit my gym. Very few people are there–predominantly the serious muscle-heads–so you can get time on any bench or machine you desire. I don’t know any of the other clients I saw today, but I felt at home, just quietly going about my business while they went about theirs.
Today was leg day, so I concentrated on leg presses and also did some ab work and back extensions. I watched a guy doing front-squats, somewhat enviously . . . I can’t squat with a barbell anymore because of disc issues. I could probably do dumbbell squats, but they couldn’t be very heavy. On the leg press I can heave some substantial weight without straining my lower back.
I won’t say my depressed mood has disappeared, but I do feel lighter today.
