July 13th 2010 Daily Update

Unsure on the reason but a very bad night's sleep. In bed before 11pm however still awake at 1am and then woke up after a broken night of sleep at around 5:15am. Today is going to feel like a long day and it is mostly meetings and more meetings today in the office! Almost all of my upper body has the dull ache of pushing muscles (too?) hard.

Scales showed 78.1kg and 21.0% body fat this morning. Let's see if I break the <78kg barrier this week!

My 70th formal day of exercise this year!

Unsure if my body will be up to P90X day 3 this evening, let's wait and see.

Morning:

• 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer (level 8)

 213 calories burnt on the machines in the morning (4509 month to date).

Evening:

Came home and my muscles in my legs, upper body, arms and pretty much every where else are stiff and sore so I've decided that common sense should prevail and I will not do the P90X Shoulders and Arms session tonight. Instead it's elliptical followed by the 60 minute P90X Stretch program. Found the stretch program for P90X to be good, only challenge is trying to watch the TV screen on some of the positions is not possible so for a beginner it can be a little difficult to follow the instructions without pausing and checking.
