Comments

Sleep - Time and Quality: A few stolen hours after a long and restless day and night and almost all of the morning . . .

Mood/Aggression: I'm not going into it, but let's say my aggression was high . . .

Energy: Definitely there.

Stimulant Effects: Had a panic attack at work - not being able to breathe and heart beating fast and deep is no fun at all. Not even sure WHY, either, since I wasn't stressed, and wasn't upset . . . Also, I was quite hot and sweating a lot, and everyone else was like "it's cooler today than it's been in a while", so I still have a fever of sorts (or my body temperature is being increased) . . .

Mental Focus and Clarity: There, despite the pounding migraine I've had for the last few days, and dizziness every time I do more than sit or lie down . . .

Metabolism: I forced myself to eat last last night - and it was all carbohydrates, most of which don't agree with my body too well at the best of times, but I woke this morning and was fine!

Appetite: Actually have NO appetite - right now BC+EAA is getting me through.

Stress: High.

Libido: There.

Endurance: Pretty good.

Strength: The first session of a new training programme - so not the best day to tell re strength. However, from the last time I was doing these exercises for these reps I was pretty much using the weight I used today - and recovery was LESS by HALF the usual today as well.

Pump: Yup.

Vascularity: Decent.

Quality of Training: HIIT was good. Nearly rolled my left ankle in the third minute in, but caught it in time . . . Started feeling nauseous during the third set of my resistance session, and the feeling persisted throughout the session. I pushed through it, determined NOT to be sidelined by whatever has been bugging me for the last few days anymore. There was no mercy. I probably did more volume in today's session than I have in quite some time re weights . . .

Recovery: Started feeling my lower back later on from the BB Good Mornings.

Body Composition and Look: Midsection is definitely looking better.

Other Effects: Still feeling nauseous - although not needing to be curled into the smallest ball possible today, and able to exert effort without being sick . . . VERY thirsty. Throat and mouth are constantly dry, and my throat is still sore . . .

Other Notes: I did not take my dose of FREE TEST this morning - to see if that was possibly contributing to the nausea, since when I first used it I experienced some for a little while (although it was never bad enough to make me feel sick or stop me from training) and still felt nauseous, so it's not that . . . Had no BLACK CATS yesterday, but the nausea was still strongly present, so it's not them, either . . . Not sure WHAT is going on. SOMEthing is - just got to figure it out . . . Another note to add that I am just going to continue from here as planned - no trying to make up training, etc., since that's not going to be too conducive to anything. Just as I did in my cycling days - if I miss a session, don't make it up; just move on . . .
