Today's workout with the trainer......knowing that I'm not yet 100% 10 minutes warmup on rowing machine and a little chatter.  Two rounds of The Circuit, two sets of 15 reps of each exercise.   Four count up and four count down.  The movement is slow enough to allow maximum focus on form.  By the 15th rep I'm usually convinced the guy at the desk has pressed the Gravity Button (that's the one they push that makes all the weights heavier in the middle of your workout). Sequence: Chest, Triceps, Quads, Back, Biceps, Lunge, Shoulder, Hamstrings, Calves, Abs.  It felt much better today than my attempt on Monday. but the BIG EVENT - today is hubby's 58th birthday.  He had to work, bless him.  It wasn't much but I made him dinner and bought cake and ice cream for dessert.  I asked him what he wanted, he said "clean dishes."  Well, I know I can afford that!  Right now we're watching Sondheim's "Company" on PBS.   A cynical musical diatribe on the hazards of long-term relationships.   Sometimes we're just soooOOOOOOooooo romantic!
