Day 5

observations-

Mind- clear and focused. (mostly, the occasional yearning)

Body- OK. moobs sore first few days from pressups. , otherwise ok. Def  hit a lull each day 5pm - 7pm before workout. (noticed alot yest, post a verbal tirade at someone for no real reason.)

Diet- Also OK. not as anal as some. eating half what used to have so still have the occasional vice. 3 months long time ,        think slow and steady best approach there.

Exercise- first 5 mins a small battle each day, then fine. Last 5-10 feel like i could go on. currently do not, slow and steady.

Booze- gave up Jan 1. no issues here, but am now a hermit.

Routine- getting there. currently exercise on arrival at home, post saying goodnight to kids. That may go astray if work       picks up and hometime gets beyond 8pm and i will have to shift exercise to early morning.

Concerns- Whistler tom for 10 days, doubt i will be able to do food side of it justice so likely to continue half portions through the week, will take exercise stuff and prob skip cardio/legs and do more core/upper body,

Overall- feel tighter, def less bloated, and more awake during the mornings, but think need more sleep. have not been to bed before 1130 and up at 545... keep calm and carry on...
