12 hours of sleep - and for the first time, I went to bed semi-early as well. Woke ok; a bit shattered from training yesterday, as to be expected when my body is no longer used to being pushed (and it's going to HAVE to get used to it, because from now on, there's NO give). Readying myself for training . . .
pm

Abs/Hamstrings (1 min recovery between supersets):

2. Weighted Crunch (on bench) 4 x 10
Superset B -
3. BB Romanian Deadlifts (on box - BB/plates touch ground) 4 x 6
4. Stiff-Legged BB Deadlifts (BB touch ground) 4 x 10
Superset C -
5. Lying Leg Curls 4 x 10
6. Weighted Rope Crunch 4 x 10
Post-Weights Cardio 20 min.
Stretch 20 min.
In a fairly good mood today - trying the positive approach. Although my body did not feel like training, I made sure that I worked it hard. A little different than what I was doing before I got adrenal fatigue, and certainly having to adapt, since I'm not using stimulants to 'wake me up' and help re energy to get through everything.
The weather, although spring here in the United States, is already as hot as a New Zealand summer, and, not being a huge fan of the heat and humidity, I am not looking forward to it getting hotter (I don't mind dry heat, but not when it's muggy). Pleasant enough, though, and later, when it's cooler, I'm going to mow the lawns (love the smell of freshly cut grass - a definite summer scent).
So, working on being positive about how my body and mind are feeling about my inability to train like I am accustomed to, and see the light through the clouds . . .
