Last night, I took a buddy home after work. Hadn't planned on staying, but he invited me in for a beer. Well, that turned into two beers, and then a trip to the bar, which turned into several more. We played some pool. I played very poorly. I was ashamed to say that I have a pool table at my house, I played that badly. Granted, I am used to my table, which is by no means regulation in any way, it's more of a mutt-sized. I like it. Then we went back to his place and listened to music and ate some food, which was good because I still had to drive home. I was by no means drunk, mind you, but it was very late by the time that I left. The sun was starting to rise. It was about 4:30 when I got home, which gave me about 2 and a half hours to sleep before P90X. I left a note for Gary that he was probably going to have to wake me.
So, I wake up, feeling great. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping. It was going to be a great day. But it seemed like it was the middle of the day. So I looked at my clock. It was only 6:40. Then it hit me. The lack of sleep. The beers from the night before. It felt like a ton of bricks, and I was miserable. I fell back asleep almost instantly. It took Gary a couple of attempts to actually wake me. But I got up.
This morning's workout wasn't so bad. They seem to be getting easier, but in no means does that mean that they are easy. I think that I am just getting used to actually working out, and that I am getting stronger. Since some of the workout today was dealing with a lot of weights, free weights that is, and we don't have any free weights, we decided to cut the video short and use the Bowflex instead. Well we kind of had to. I felt quite proud of myself. One of the exercises that we did, I was able to start out with what I maxed out on last week, and went up from there. I am definitely getting stronger.
This is starting to pay off. I have more energy during the day, and I am breathing better. I think that is also because of the whole non-smoking as well, but yeah. I really don't know how much longer that I can last on that. We will see.

Glad that you decided to quit smoking, and started blogging as well. Blogging is lotsa fun as I'm sure you'll discover as you make great blogging friends along the way. Congrats on your progress in weight training!
