I go home tomorrow and can’t wait. This is the last trip of the year. I will miss the pools, but not the food and the hours.

I have moved to a new area and a different hotel. The gym and pool are much better. I have to work with the local franchise owner tonight but I will take advantage of the pool in the morning. My calorie intake was better today, found a walmart for protien and tuna.

Food goals for yesterday were going very well until I had my last meal at 1 pm and didn’t get a chance to eat until 11 pm. Then the only thing that was open was Sonic. That blew up and over my calories, fat, and carbs. Beyond their limits. Will …go get my tuna and protien today. Won’t have to be at the mercy of fast food again.

I have to say again, What a great feeling. many reasons- 10 years ago, i didn’t think I would make it to 45, somtimes making it to the next day, alive, was a tough job. But it is all good now. I am almost done with smoking, last 18 days less than 10 cigarettes (down from 2 packs a day). On my 5th week of P90X and other lifiting workouts. So when someone says, Happy Birthday Old Man. I say Thank God. What a great feeling.

Need to get off BB.com and get working out. I have many things to do today, but most important is to be a part of the fund rasier for my friends wife. The doctors found cancer in her 6 months after her gave birth to the youngest of two childern. The prognosis is not good. All of us at the office will be helping out today. God Bless Lisa and her family.

Work trip - P90X workout going great. Have not had the time to go for a walk w/runkeeper. And no pool time yet due to rain everyday. The “fitness” room is like most of the other hotels I stay out, junk. Broken machines, out of date equipment, and not set up properly.

I will be in the DFW area for the next ten days working with some Franchise owners. The hotel i am staying at has a very small work out center and an outdoor pool. Since i have been doing the P90X workouts at home I will try to contiune them whle I am traveling. I purchased a set of bands that have the door attachment so I can do the pull up sets. I will also be able to swimm some laps in the morning. Eating clean is hard to do since my job includes many nights in bar and pool halls. And the food choices there inculded Grease, Fat, Carbs and more Fat. I eat a lot of can tuna and protien shakes.

Yesterday was a day that I decided to control my drinking.  And I did by drinking only 1 small beer. And you would have thought the world was coming to an end, according to my friends. I felt great, wonderful and proud. But spent most of my time defending my decision.  Don’t think I am mad at them for harassing me, it was all in drunken fun. I know, I have done the same. But the feeling of being not one with the in crowd is still there. Can’t wait to see what I feel like when I quit smoking.

Back and legs tonight. Feel the burn. Recover drink taste great right now.  I am getting up early tomorrow for Kenpo X and just relaxing the whole day. I feel like have not gained all my strength back from my trip to Las Vegas.
