cereta: Liz 10's boot and mask (Boot and Mask)

Today was my first day attempting to work without my personal trainer, and I think it went very well. I discovered that the window seat in the play room is perfect for chair lifts (once I move the toys out of the way). I did three sets of ten reps of:

Chair lifts
Shoulder presses (done with a twist motion - I can't find the name for it) 16lbs
Bicep curls (16lbs - I had been at 20 Monday, but 16 seems to be plenty for now)
Single arm rows
Pushups (from the knee)

I also did two sets of 15 second planks. I think I'm ready to go up to 20.

I skipped lower body stuff because I did them Monday and Wednesday, and my knees are bothering me a bit, so my trainer advised a week off.

I have some ideas for adding stuff, but I will probably wait a week until the semester is over and I have more time.
