I settled on resistance band stuff plus two other exercises.
With resistance bands I did 3 sets, 10 reps each of:
triceps pull down
bicep curl
low pull
shoulder press
twist
Then I did 20 squats and 20 modified pushups (done on knees).

We stumbled back into town this afternoon. I stalled for awhile before hauling myself to the gym and doing some time on the elliptical. 5 minute warm up, 20 minutes at 125-145 BPM, and a 5 minute cool down.
Argued with myself about doing more, but decided I was more just deadly tired than slacking. In any case, I feel better for having gotten in a little aerobic stuff. It's amazing how it can lighten my mood.

More than half the battle is just getting in there and getting it done. But once you're in and it's over...you can't help but feel pretty darn good. Way to go on sucking it up and hitting the elliptical.
