Never Put Off What You Can Do In The Morning...

That's a variation of an old saying, to never put off what you can do today. It's one I know well, and I've seen the wisdom in that statement over and over.

Yet I still don't always take heed. 

I've been hitting the cardio pretty hard this week, along with not getting nearly enough sleep, so today I decided to sleep in an extra hour, put off my cardio until Friday evening. Up until this week I've been doing cardio following my weight training, and given that Saturday is my off-day from doing any workouts, I figured doing the cardio at night would be no big deal.

Except I ended up working late, and you know what that meant -- I didn't have time for both a full chest/shoulder/triceps workout and a full cardio workout tonight. 

I compromised a bit, cutting the weight training session a little short and still getting in a good 30-minutes cardio workout, but this goes to show, when it comes to working out, never put it off. You just don't know what will come up to get in the way.

I want to talk a little bit about being tired and a little on the weak side in the weight room, too, but it's late, I'm tired, and that will have to wait for a  weekend post.

For now, here's what I did today.
