Didn't want to work out today, but didn't want to work out tomorrow more...

Strength training fun:

Held 10 planks for 15 seconds each;
Did 20 lunge and twists (10 regular, 10 with balance added in between);
Balanced on the Bosu ball with both feet for 60 seconds and on each foot for 15 seconds;
Did 2 sets, 12 reps each, at 20 pounds on the Chest Press;
Did 2 sets, 12 reps each, at 20 pounds on the Chest Fly;
Did 2 sets, 12 reps each, at 55 pounds on the Lat Pulldown;
Did 2 sets, 12 reps each, at 45 pounds on the Two Arm Row;
Did 2 sets, 12 reps each, at 10 pounds doing Lat Raises with the 10 lb dumbbells;
Did 2 sets, 12 reps each, at 15 pounds on the Shoulder Press; and
Did 2 sets, 12 reps each, at 70 pounds on the Leg Press.


Then I swam for ~20 minutes. I shaved another 5 seconds off of my average lap time! I *love* these kind of tangible results. Also, I finally learned the length of the lap pool--it is 25 M. So, each lap is 50 M. Good to know for goal setting and such.

I will say that it feels good to know that I didn't want to go today and did. I feel like it was another small victory! Yay me!
