Tonight's weight session was much more arduous than Monday's when I had PTO. I suppose that shouldn't be surprising since this was one of those very busy days.

As usual for a Wednesday, I started it off with an empy stomach run at 5:30 am and getting into the office at around 7:30 am. Fortunately, I was able to have a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and cheese.

The only chance I had to eat during the day was at 2 pm, where I had about a handful of peanuts, an orange, and about 4 oz of cheese (at least it was authentic parmegiano regiano this time). At 5 pm, a protein bar. And at 7 pm, about 3tbs peanut butter, then off to the gym for my upper body, chest, and shoulder workouts.

I felt weak today. On Monday, I felt strong, invigorated, and full of energy. Tonight relative to Monday was very lackluster. I just felt lethargic during the entire hour. I can only attribute this to having to work a full day whereas on Monday I had the luxury of enjoying PTO.

Its almost 12 am here now on the west coast, and I've just finished my dinner of steak, shrimp, and grilled onions snacking on some peanuts. I have to be at the office by 6:30 am tomorrow morning and will have to sleep on a somewhat full stomach.

This has been my dilemma for the several work seasons. How do I balance and find an equilibrium for working, the gym, and my social life?
