Summary:
Got a great arm workout in today. I think I've figured out the trick to the weight workouts to keep me from skipping or shortening workouts. It's the logbook. I didn't keep the log of my workouts the first phase of P90x and I regretted it, so I made sure to get it set up this time. And so far it appears to be keeping me in line.

I can already feel it in my shoulders and upper arms and I'm sure tomorrow I'll be sluggish. Tomorrow is the worst day of the week... Yoga. P90x Yoga is the hardest most sadistic thing ever. I hate it so much and last round of P90x I skipped most of them. Can't do that this time around.

I missed Ab-Ripper today. I simply ran out of time in the morning with lifting and running and would have been late to work if I tried to shim in another 15 minutes. I'm disappointed, but I get 3 tries at it a week so hopefully I can make it up to myself.

Eating was pretty good today, but I can tell I'm burning off what I eat because I found myself eating french fries today while out playing cards and I didn't even want them. They were way to salty and not that good but I kept finding myself going back to them. I tried drinking alot of water to keep my mind off it and I'm actually still starving now which means I probably should have something to eat before going to bed, but I'm likely to just try to get to bed.

Running today went really well. Got 3 miles in which is the first time I've gotten that in the last few weeks. I'm still not sure this weekend's 4 miles is going to come very easy, but I'm going to give it my best. Right now my legs and body seem to be handling the running well, but if I'm going to try to run some distance I need to get my breathing and my mental game stronger. Those were the two areas I kept noticing today.

I haven't decided if Fri, Sat, or Sun is going to be weigh-in day. I usually try to get my weigh-in recorded before any cheat meals so the numbers look better so maybe that leads me to weigh in every Friday. But the "week" ends on Sunday so maybe that's better. We'll play it by ear.
