Just takes a little planning

Well, I am out of town like I said I would be and they have me staying in a pretty nice place although the shower is not very good. When I was done packing it dawned on me that I used to be one of those people that made fun of folks that packed way more than needed on a trip and I usually packed much less than most. Pretty much clothing and that was it. Well this time around, since I didn't know what to expect when it came to food and other accommodations and I wanted to make sure I stayed on my P90X routine I ended up with this packing list. P90X DVD's, resistance bands, pull up bar, protein powder, creatine, elite recoup, cooler full of; turkey sausage, frozen dinners, yogurt, peanut butter, protein bars, apples, three laptops, iPad, Kindle, oatmeal, lunch box, and clothing. It was the first time in my life that I actually needed the hotel card to get everything out of my car when I was traveling alone. I am out in the field doing a penetration test on a very popular snack maker in the area and it is becoming difficult to to give into temptation, I am all of about 200 feet from the manufacturing plant, and every room you go into seems to have the products out for you to help yourself to. As a matter of fact I was caught looking at some of them and they were very insistant that I take all that I want. I have been good and have not touched any of it yet so I am pretty proud of that. I will continue that trend some more today and tomorrow. I did find out there are a few people back at home that would be very interested in my bringing home some of the delicious treats so I am going to grab some today and tomorrow so that I can them home to them and make them happy. I know it is a small gesture but if it makes them happy it makes me happy. Yesterday when I got into the hotel room and got unloaded I got to my P90X workout. On tap for the day was back and biceps, a workout that I alos look forward to doing since that is were I think you see the most results. The last time I did the workout I thought the bands I used were pretty good but knew I could go higher so that is just what I did yesterday. I was able to get the same number of reps with the higher bands for the most part and in a couple of places I got a few more reps with the higher bands. As I was getting to the end of the workout some of my numbers in the pull ups started to slide but it was because of how hard I worked leading up to the end of the routine so I am not all that concerned about that. Since I worked out later than I normally do the soreness has not quite set in yet but I expect to start to show up as the day moves forward. When I was done with the workout my biceps were so tense from getting worked out as hard as they did that it looked like my arms were huge. I was pretty excited about that, this morning they don't quite look the same but still I look like the results are still paying off and next Wednesday I will be halfway through the program. Today I will be doing the Yoga X DVD here at the hotel and and going to work hard to get really flexible and hold the poses longer and cleaner. I keep getting better each week and I hope that today is no different. Well It seems like I have been going on for a while so I am going to wrap up and see how today and tonight goes. I don't know if I will have time to post anything tomorrow morning since I have to workout and get packed and ready to go before I make it to the client in the morning.
