No high points today and lesson learned

Today was my next lower body workout and I was out of bed and at work by 6 AM to get it done. I had a really good workout this morning but did not hit any high points so it looks like it is time to add weight again. I am feeling  a little tired in my legs after the workout so I expect to see a little bit of soreness in the morning when I wake up for cardio. After I do the next lower body on Monday I am going to compare my weights used on that first workout and see how the progress is going. I am starting to see some change in my arms and a little bit in my legs so that is making me happy. I also got to wondering today just how far I am going on my cardio runs in the morning so I plotted the run from this morning in RunKeeper and it turns out that the four laps around my neighborhood came to 2.24 miles in twenty minutes so the cardio is adding to my run speed and I am running a sub 9 minute mile. Can't wait to see how the run with tired legs goes tomorrow. One thing I will be honest about is that I am only halfway through the third week and I don't quite have the energy that I did when I was waking up the first week and it seems like temptations for cheating are showing up more and more. I don't know if that is really the case or if it just seems that way since I am getting deeper into this. I guess this is the phase in the book Bill writes about crossing the abyss and staying strong to remain on the plan. I am planning on doing just that and to continue to ignore the temptations and push forward. I guess I will just have to make sure that  I am taking full advantage of the free days, making note of the cravings that I am having though out the week and hitting as many of them as I can on that free day. The one thing I don't want to do is affect the eating habits of those around me when I am eating all that I want on those free days. Wish me luck in staying strong.... only nine and a half weeks to go.
