I had to run a few errands this morning that kept me out longer than I should have and my eating was off. I sent off wedding invitations, ran to Target for a few personal care supplies, had to run to Vitamin Shoppe for some protein powder and some special shaving cream, and then had to go to Target later in the afternoon for my eye exam so I could get more contact lenses. Thankfully, in the year and half since I last got my eyes checked, my prescription didn't change.
My day wasn't as bad as the first sentence sounds. I got a fair bit of studying and I have a little bit left to do tomorrow, but for the most part, I'm getting into the groove of things with school. After watching a lecture, I did my scheduled workout today: Shoulders and Arms. I pounded through it. There are a few exercises where I probably have to go heavier on. I know when I increase weight, my reps will go down until I get used to the new weight, but I'll super set it by finishing the additional reps I want to do at a lower weight and then go from there. I'll increase the rep and increase my usage at the lower weight over time. It's worked for me in the past and I had to do that on a few of the exercises in this workout anyway.
I also made myself do as much of Ab Ripper X as I could. Typically I skip it because it's just so hard, but being that the workout calls for it, I'm doing it even if I can't do it all. I'll get better at it the more I do it. I just have to be persistent and that's the plan.
When Gabriel got home, I was feeling very energetic, so I decided to do Kenpo Cardio Plus with him. Good stuff. It was hard because I just finished my Shoulders and Arms (S&A) workout about an hour and a half earlier so I was really wasted. Actually, I'm still sitting here sweaty as hell because of it. Burned an extra 463 calories according to my heart rate monitor. Some of the moves are still tricky in KCP, but I'll get the hang of it the more I do it.
Overall rating for the day: 7
