Returning to Earth while still logging nutrition

So after the first three days on no interruptions and smooth sailing, my world came crashing down around noon on Thursday-- about the time my CPA informed me it was tax season!

Needless to say, I have literally spent the entirety of the last four days either hunched over a computer or digging through my records to obtain every piece of paperwork necessary to file on time.

While my workouts and dieting did not go out the window, my logging certainly has. With that said, this has given me a small taste of the obstacles those who do not happen to own a gym encounter on a daily basis.

With this in mind, I have continued to jot down notes on what worked and what did not in the face of this distraction:

- Writing down my food in a small spiral notebook helped me to remember what was eaten when. Because these foods are basically the same every day, I was able to make reasonable subs in terms of caloric content.

- Because I have this log and my food is already customized to fitday, it will take 5-10 minutes to go back and enter in several days! (now the challange is finding time today to make myself do it)

- I almost wanted to drink coffee to give my mind the jolt it needed to go through this mind numbing process, instead I opted for a shot of five hour energy!

- Because I did not have time to get an entire workout in at once, I broke it down in to 10-15 minute sections every few hours:

10-10:15 AM- Lower body foam roll
12-12:15 AM- Timed core circuit
2-2:15 AM- Lower body stretch
4:-4:15- Lower body mobility

- The timed core circuit described above is an excellent way to get your corrective exercise, cardio and core training in. Ideally, this would take place at several points during the day, but mine looked something like this:

A-1: Lying X,Y,Ts- 15 reps
A-2: Ab wheel rollouts- 15 reps
A-3: X-band jacks to walk- 12 steps

In any case, look for my log later today and feel free to send me your scheduling horror stories as well!
