Bad day: Transmission broke on my truck, unable to get my other car plated, body feels weak and cold, nothing went right! So to help out with this, I really wanted to go to the gym. I ran in 16 degree weather, nearly giving my toes frostbite through my Vibram five-finger shoes, and felt sick the whole workout. The good thing out of all of this: I at least went. I made it fine. My toes are good, and my legs were hurting the next day like I wanted them to. And I weighed myself: I'm down to 113, 5 lbs less than what I was when I started this training. #score

Cardio:
Ran 2 miles, round trip from my house to the gym and back. It's exactly 1 mi each direction. 

Workout: Legs
Astrofit method, 2 circuit supersets
10 reps Leg Extension
10 reps Leg Curls
10 reps Lunges (each leg)
10 reps Hip Abductor
10 reps Hip Adductor
*Rest 2 mins*
(Note: I decided not to do calf raises because they were so tight already from the big run on the treadmill the day before and the 2 mi run to and from the gym)
*Rest 2 mins*

Other: 
Roman Leg Lifts until failure
Plank until failure

One thing for sure, when other parts of my body are getting weaker due to the type of training I'm doing, my legs aren't. Because they obviously had a lot more fat to convert to lean muscle. Very interesting observation.
