This morning, I woke up a little sore. Umm, well, I was a lot sore in some places! My biceps & triceps were, of course sore from the shoulders & Arms workout. My shoulders were a little stiff, but only a little sore. My back (across the whole middle of it) is actually a little sore, as well ... I think it's from swinging the remote, playing baseball.

I played a little of the Nintendo Wii this morning. An inning of baseball (I incurred the "Mercy Rule" ... I was ahead 6-1, so the game ended), a game of bowling, and a couple rounds of 3-hole golf (first time I was a +5, the second time I was on par). In the afternoon, I broke in the new Zelda game. I bought a second remote & nunchuk, and since I really love Zelda, I went ahead and got that one, today, too. The remotes are kind of expensive, so, I figure I'll spread out the purchase of them ... 1 a payperiod, maybe (unless I suddenly find that I'm throwing a Wii-party or something).

I went to my Weight Watcher's meeting today. I lost 0.2 lbs. Surprising, since I missed several workouts, and I ate poorly on Saturday & Sunday. The topic was about getting more activity into our lives ... and I think getting around the hurdles that keep us from getting that activity. My goal for "activity" is to workout (P90X), at least 4 times a week (I know that when I'm working, 6 or 7 times a week may be unrealistic). That means I am burning 1200-1700 extra calories a week.

I tried really hard to avoid doing Yoga today. Almost had myself talked into a nap instead of YogaX (right, like I have to talk myself into a nap?! ... naps for me are like breathing!). I finally kicked it into high gear, got some clothes--other than jeans--on and put the DVD in the player ... and did my thing. There were a couple sections that I just ended up fast-forwarding ahead ... I just couldn't keep doing those vinyasas. I did all the balance poses & the stretching ones (except for crane--I did on 1 foot--and a couple of those shoulder-stand--I did my own modified version--and plough, I think it's called ... there's no freaking way!!) Next time I'll plan for the whole 90 minutes.

Eating wasn't so great today. Not horrible, just could have been better ... a little heavy on the carb. I opened up a window for fitday ... I'm thinking I should give it a try. It just tends to take more time than I usually have, esp. when I'm working (I go back to work on Wednesday), I do not typically look at my computer.

I have committed to DeeDee, that I will get up early on my work-day this week to workout. I am planning, on Thursday afternoon, to wake up at 3pm to fit my KenpoX workout in before work.

Goals:

1. Core Synergistics
   
2. Drink 6 bottles of water.
3. Write down everything I eat.
4. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
