I'm not sure how or what I did... but my trapezoids on my left side are sore enough to make my left pectorals tight. Not sure if it's a back thing, or a twisting thing, or a sitting too much thing.
The morning Friday is foggy and cold. The leaves are well on their way to turning from green to yellow, orange and red. I was lucky enough to see the conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and Mars before the fog rolled in. The big dipper was upside-down over the northeastern hills.
I've been sort of ennui-ish. This morning a kind of malaise sat on my chest, like the Nightmare painting usually gracing Freud's "interpretation do Dreams"... What were the French Diseases of the Soul from "The Lathe of Heaven" again? (Looks it up: pique, umbrage, and ennui.). Maybe it's ennui. Maybe it's existential angst. Maybe exercise isn't combating the seasonal reduction in light as well as I wish it would. Maybe it's the humming of the refrigerator. Maybe I'm just sort of tired. (Maybe I had a psychic reaction to a rejection that I discovered via Twitter the following day...)
More Working Out: Went to the gym Saturday. 25 minutes on the elliptical for about 210 calories and 125 steps/minute. Rowing machine: 110 cal, at about 680 cal/hour for about 10 minutes. Assisted dips: 3X12:at 14. Assisted chin-ups: 3X10 at 14. Pec-fly: 3X12X40lbs. Lat pull-down: 3X12X80. Curl-ups: 3X13. Barbell curl 3X13X35 lbs. And some vague sit-ups on a medicine ball and a swimming noodle to try to straighten out my back. There's been a knot or something where my trapezoids connect to the left side of my spine; the elliptical helped loosen it up, and I tried ironing it out with the ball and noodle -- I might be leaning to the left too much when I sit.
