I have quit on this twice, but I really think I need to spend more time on my creative side and I like the approach of the book. I love new sparkly processes—but hate structure. It’s a strange tension in me. Anyway, I want to give this a chance (again). I have to struggle with my need to be perfect about the exercises. It always bogs me down.

- grapes, hummus, and pita for breakfast
- 2 lovely vacation days ahead of me (no work for me tomorrow!)
- Perfect weather today (quite unusual for DC)
- good workout
- getting to stay up late on a Thursday
- Excitement about the train trip tomorrow to Connecticut (so much better than driving).
- Discovering my post workout pain is due to a specific muscle (ahh, that pesky sartorious)
