Narrative:
Another really busy day today – today I addition to spending the first half of the day with a VA representative going over VA issues, I had to lead an Administrative Separation board as the senior leader all afternoon. I missed lunch and boy was I starving. At any rate, I missed my weight schedule today again. No worries do, I did get my early morning run in again, so at the very least I am getting some work done. I will probably do a shoulder/back tomorrow.    Â

One of the best workouts I have had in a long time. I was able to work through all my exercises without tapping out. I felt relatively strong at the end too, not much muscle tension, and pretty good form.  I have not been working abs at the end of the session, I have been working them in between exercises.

Narrative: ( Total Time – 115mins)
Good all around workout. I got really tired to the end as usual on legs, but I started to get leg cramps in my thigs as well; this is first time for that. I pulled back on the leg curls – doing only 6 reps each. Also, for the second workout I did not do the standing calf raises. I was just too tired. I must admit, my eating was not on point today. I had a dental appointement from 9 – 11 and then went straight to workout more or less. At any rate, I am feeling good otherwise.

Narrative:
Only had a morning threadmill run. Had planned on doing arms, but I was not prepared for mid-day lift. I will make it up tomorrow. Body a bit achy, but generally, I do feel fine. Did not do any core work, but I will definitely make up for that tomorrow.
