First and foremost, no podcast yet today. I promise I will upload it tomorrow (Wednesday). I recorded it and didn't like the way it came out so I need to take the time to re-record it.
Today was a very busy day. I spent the day trying to figure out how to make a report work and how to get the data out of the database. To deal with the stress, I hit the gym two times today.
At 3 a.m. I did a rather lackluster workout by my standards. I was very disappointed with how my workout went.

I did 30 minutes of HIIT on the stationary bike and called it a day–or so I thought.
In the middle of the day I put away the report and went to the gym for another HIIT session. This time I got on the elliptical trainer for 30 minutes. As I completed this HIIT session I reflected on the morning's workout. While the weights I lifted were decent, I had no desire to do the workout and that's what bothered me. Without desire things go awry quickly. It dawned on me that a part of the problem today was that my routine in the morning was different than usual. I've learned that routine is important. I will have to pay attention to that in the future.
It seems my comment about a surprise has gotten some people curious. I will say that I am definitely planning a surprise for the readers of my blog. Unfortunately, what I have planned isn't all that unique, but it should be a good thing for me and hopefully you will all enjoy it.
Until tomorrow…
