There is this great tool on Bodybuilding.com that allows you to create printable workout logs that can also be saved as reusable PDF files. I made one for each day that I work out - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

Aside from a grid on which to mark weight and reps, there are fields where you hand-write the date, the time, and your "mood." For mood, I'll normally put "Happy," "Tired," "Calm," "Hungover" - whatever I happen to be feeling that particular day. It actually serves as a pretty good reference for the following week.

Well, halfway through this afternoon's workout, I for some reason thought I'd forgotten to enter a mood. When I looked down at the sheet, I saw that I had, indeed, already filled it out.

For today's mood, without even thinking, I had simply written "Tan."

And I am. Tan, that is - thanks to a great weekend in the Outer Banks. Seriously, being this tan is more than a state of physical perfection; it's a state of mind.
