Quick question about HIIT logging

I started doing HIIT on my stationary bike, warm up, 30 second high intensity, 2 minutes of I guess you could say normal intensity, repeated 6 times, then cool down and stretching.
I also started doing the nerd fitness beginner body weight workout. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

I switch between these everyday. I've been logging just the high intensity times of biking in exercise and not at all for the strength training. I can feel the soreness in my legs, arms, back. I know it's making a difference but should i be logging it differently?

How would/do you log these activities?

    I also do HIIT when running or stationary bike.
    For running I log the amount of time at different speeds.
    For the bike I just log very vigorous effort.

    I do HIIT too. I just log calories, and time. Never stopped to think about and record the intensity lol.

    I do HIIT on the treadmill and I'll either just log the average speed for however long I did it for, or using my heart rate monitor log the calories burned.
