Comments

Sleep - Time and Quality: I have not had any sleep yet - not for lack of trying.

Mental Focus and Clarity: Not the best. I can feel my tiredness, like an ache in my head that won't go away.

Energy: I trained and had the energy for it. I still have energy, although at the same time I feel shattered.

Mood/Aggression: A little crabby from lack of sleep and having to deal with other people's issues. VERY aggressive, and I need to wok on calming myself down before work (either that, or I'm going to be so tired, I'm not going to care and just want to finish as early as I can and get home and try to sleep).

Stress: HIGH.

Libido: Not had much the last day or so.

Endurance: SLOWLY improving.

Strength: There's always a day somewhere (usually once a week) where you just feel like crap and nothing gets better, and this was that day - same weights as last week for this session.

Quality of Training: 5km run was ok. Slowed down quite a bit in the second half, though. Definitely need to get FITTER ASAP! . . . Resistance session was ok. Actually felt like I was going to drop the weights a few times, and heart was pounding after several sets, but pushed on through, and even forced myself to do post-weights cardio . . .

Recovery: My body is fine. I just feel sh*tty.

Pump: Rapid and lasting.

Vascularity: More lines visible today.

Muscle Hardness/Density: Arms.

Body Composition and Look: Right now, the mirror is just depressing me, and I have to keep reminding myself that I am going to be back to normal and feeling a whole lot more comfortable and better about it in 4-5 weeks.

Other Effects: I am working VERY hard at controlling myself re diet, since my appetite is still raging.

Other Notes: Last day of FREE TEST tomorrow . . .
