I’ve got to get it out of my head about not liking leg day. Out of all the lifting work outs in P90X. Legs & Back makes me huff and puff. All the squats and lunges gets me breathing. Next week is recovery week. So no leg day next Friday.

From a combination of things. Staring at two monitors all day. And the cooler dryer air this time of year. But I think it’s mostly from the first. However, I do need to get my eyes checked. I’m to the point were I need glasses. And not just reading glasses. My right eye, things are just a tiny bit blurry. Like when reading the menu on tv. I do have a pair of reading glasses though. When my son was home from college once. I was wearing them and he didn’t know at the time. When he saw me with them on, kinda shocked him.  

Today, plyometrics.

from my vacation last week. Had a lot of catching up to do today. Worked right through lunch. And when I thought I was caught up, I’d remember something else I needed to do. But I was caught up about 45 mins before time to come home and get some heavy work done. (Chest & Back, Ab RipperX)

Was feeling a bit tired this morning. Slept well, just wanted to keep sleeping. But when the sun starts peeking through the window…. I never look forward to legs. This wears me down. I need to change my mind set about this. However, pull-ups and chin-ups are getting better. Today, going to do a water change in the aqaurium. And watch college football the rest of the day.

There was a change in plans late last night in were my daughter will go to college. She checked on things for Texas State late last night. And turns out there’s no housing available for her. Also, the classes they had her signed up for, just to get her registered, are not some of the classes she wanted to take. Also, if she stayed next semester at the Junior College, she will have a scholarship. So it will be paid for.   Now she is registered for next semester at the Junior College. She’s seems happier. Trying to get to Texas State was stressing her out.

Today KenpoX. I’m a day off my schedule due to our trip to Texas State on Wednesday. Usually today is leg day. I’ll get back on schedule next week.

My daughter and I drove about 3 and a half hrs to the college she wants to go to for registration. We stopped for lunch about 30 mins away from the college. We had some sammiches that were heavier than we thought they would be. (Italian Panini’s) Grilled, smoothered with butter. And filled with two cheeses. About 5 hrs later, I was still feeling that sandwhich. We were at the college for about 4 hrs. I had to wait around while she was getting registered. She is a transfer student. She’s finished with her basics at the Jr. College near by. The classes she needs for her major were all full. So it looked like she would not be able to go next semester. But we worked with the counselor’s and got her the minimum 12 hrs she needs. There may still be some work ahead. We hope some more classes will make. Or there will be some drops so she can change her schedule. Then we had the 3 and half hr drive back home. It seemed like a long day yesterday.

Living my life by the clock. Even on vacation. Usually I’m up at 5 am and out the door to work at 5:50 am. At work, logged in by 6:30. This week, I’m off work, but I try to get up by 6:30 am and excersizing by 8:30. If I end up sleeping late, I get a little aggrivated. But I’m not so bad that I’m OCD about it. But there is a phrase that I try to live by. I’m not sure where I heard or read this phrase. But it’s "If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late." Sometimes I may arrive someplace an hour ahead of time. Yea, I know. That’s a little overdoing it. I don’t like arriving to an event just as it’s starting. Tonight, my daughter an I are going to a concert. Doors open at 7 and the concert starts at 8. She asked me when I wanted to leave. I want to get there when the doors open.  So we will be on time.

Saturday I went to the fish store. The amonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels were good. (amonia 0, nitrate 5-10, nitrite 0) So I bought 4 congo tetras and 2 clown loaches. The loaches were tiny. I say were. They were dead this morning. The congos are doing well. I also have 3 silver dollars. I wasn’t sure if I should do a water change or not. So I treated the water with Prime. Since the loaches died the amonia level is up. I’ll check it again later this afternoon. Hopefully it will come down. I’m on vacation this week. So later in the week another trip to the fish store.

I can only assume that the loaches were so small is the reason they didn’t make it. They grow to about 6 inches. I guess if I want loaches, I’ll have to get bigger ones.
