Day 5: Legs and Back

5 days down! Honestly, I'm kind of impressed with myself that I've been pushing myself so hard in these workouts. Usually when I start something new, the first few days take the most willpower to get through. I hope I can stick with it for the next 85 days!

Anyway, I was still sore today. My legs were slightly better than they were yesterday but not much. So today's workout was tough. The first set of squats killed me, but as I went on, it actually got better. I'm still sore, and I'm sure it will be even worse tomorrow, but at least I made it through the workout. I actually liked it, and I think I'd be pretty good at it if I wasn't already in pain. So hopefully in the upcoming weeks the soreness will decrease and I'll really be able to push myself hard when I have to do it again. I was still sweating a lot today, even with the air conditioner blasting. As someone who always just did cardio before, I'm amazed at how strength training can get my heart rate up and make me sweat as much as this does. It's great.

Speaking of cardio, tomorrow is Kenpo X. That should be fun--as long as I'm not too sore again.

I wasn't in such a good mood today at work. I'm tired of the service I'm on currently, so in that sense I can't wait for this week to be over. However, I am really not looking forward to the service I'm going to be on next month. So I don't want this week to be over. It's kind of confusing, but overall I'm not very happy with work this week. Actually, I've been in sort of a funk for the past few days, even when I'm at home. I don't know what's up, but hopefully it will go away soon. I guess another good thing about P90X is that it takes my mind off things, even if it is only for an hour!

Today, I made chocolate chip cookies to take to work tomorrow, and I had to eat one to make sure they were okay, right? I mean, I can't feed my coworkers substandard cookies! It was only one, and it was little, so I won't feel guilty about it. Otherwise, my food choices today have been pretty good. My energy level during the workouts is fine, so I think I'm doing okay in the food department.

I think I worked out too late last night, even if it was yoga. I couldn't fall asleep until after 1. So I'm going to read and hopefully go to bed a little early tonight. Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow and be in a good mood! I can always hope :-)
