Day 79: Strike Two

Oh, mercy me. I had to get up at 6:00am so I could pick up the kids from their mom's and get them to school by 7:30am (30 mile drive). Then I had to drive to my biggest client's office by 8:00am to meet a computer tech. They're in the middle of a new server installation and I have to babysit the project so no one drops the ball. Well, the computer tech dropped the ball and didn't show up until 2:00pm. Unfortunately, that tied me up until past 7:00pm. By the time I got to my girlfriend's and ate some dinner (I was starving!), it was past 8:00pm. My girlfriend usually gets up at 4:30am so she goes to bed early. I was physically and mentally exhausted and wanted to spend some cuddle time with my girl so...I skipped my P90X workout.

I did the right thing. I feel guilty. I had no choice. I'm a loser. Priories come first. If I wasn't so undisciplined I'd got up at 4:00am. Blah, blah, blah, blah.

As you can probably tell, my angels and demons are at war. This occurs because I'm obsessive-compulsive about this P90X among many other things. I skipped an X Stretch workout during week 3 so this is also my second strike. However, I have the solution. On Day 80, I'll do my regularly scheduled workout in the morning and do Day 79's workout in the evening. It will have to be late though, because I have appointments scheduled from 9:00am until 9:00pm. This is going to be tough but that's the price I've got to pay for a clear conscious.

Note: This weekend I'm throwing in an extra X Stretch workout to make up for week 3's strike one.
