Pop Lockin Lock Stomping

Yesterday was work for 1/2 day, meet w/ kitchen layout lady, insurance agent, workout at South and TLC's John and Kate plus 8 and Small People Big world.
Kitchen lady had a few plans, none that really 'wowed' me. I gave her my idea and she liked it. She will now go back to drawing board. No update on lower bathroom yet, still waiting. My life is now insured however (I was before, just for not so much).

Workout - I think I said yesterday that I wasn't going to lift weights for a week and just do cardio plus switch over to a whole body routine, but the more I thought about it, if I wait and go back at it I may have the same results. So I decided to see how I felt after a warm up. Let me say that it was another one of those days where I almost stayed home and not went at all due to the tightness in my arms, but again I was very pleased w/ myself when it was all over.
So I warm up on the Elliptical for 12-15 minutes, arms achin at first but felt good after a while. Ab routine and then I did the Chest/Shoulder/Tricep's (actual workout 1) and it felt really good. I did keep the weight to a minimum and focused more on technique and form while completing the set. After lifting I ended the day on the treadmill - walk 5 run 10 walk 5 run 5 walk 5 - this I have to say went really good. I focused mainly on my breathing trying to maintain a consistent in/out rather than light and really heavy breathing. Was very happy and am going to state the obvious that not smoking has helped - plus burned up like 400 cals in 30 mins - good sweat.
I am going to switch from work each muscle group once every 2 days to once every 4 days w/ cardio in between. This will be the less aggressive way I was speaking of yesterday.
This may not seem very organized right now but I think from not lifting in a while, I have to tweak things accordingly to make it work. I'm now fairly confident that this is it although it may get tweaked again after my 'Fitness Eval' on Monday of next.
