Last week, I upped my weights for a lot of my exercises from a pitiful 8 lbs. to a pathetic 10 lbs. Ah, it's progress I suppose. But man! The difference 2 lbs. can make. I just worked my arms and shoulders, and I think I'm going to have to wait a bit before I do any laundry or wash dishes. They feel like rubber now. And I didn't even do all the exercises I meant to do. It's a good thing, though. Lift heavy and low reps to build muscle. Which is what I want to do.

Oh another note: I'm very tired of the Terri Shiavo case. I'll be glad when something else comes along that the country can collectively obsess over.
