Comments
Mood/Aggression: Better once in the gym and training.
Energy: Endless momentum carrying me through the day.
Stimulant Effects: None.
Mental Focus and Clarity: I've been so focused today that it feels like time has barely gone by at all, and yet when I looked at the clock, it was mid-afternoon already!
Metabolism: Fine.
Appetite: Feel like I want to eat everything in sight, but I have to control myself. I will NOT let myself be beaten in the kitchen; I CANNOT!
Stress: Still higher than higher.
Libido: Great training sessions mean higher libido later on . . .
Endurance: Excellent. I DO need to work on my running endurance again, though, since it is KILLING me!
Strength: Considering that my resistance session wasn't about strength, it was ok for what it was.
Pump: Definitely.
Vascularity: The best it's been in a long time.
Quality of Training: HIIT took so much out of me each effort, that after the second effort, I literally stopped - more firsts for me, since I don't stop, no matter what - and waited out the 40-seconds, gasping and almost collapsed on the floor. All sprints were full speed and excellent re quality, only feeling my body slowing somewhat on the last effort . . . Resistance session was good. I was sweating buckets, and feeling the burn . . .
Recovery: Well, nothing hurts from yesterday, so that's a good sign.
Body Composition and Look: I mowed the lawns today, and that 50 minutes in the sun made me brown! Man, if I spent like an hour in the sun a day, I'd be as tanned and bronze as I was when I first came to the US, but I can't really sunbathe nude here like I did back home - wouldn't want to give the neighbours or passers by a heart attack, LOL.
Other Effects: Today is the first time in 2 weeks that I haven't felt nauseous, and not when training - which is great!
Other Notes: I get my bike tomorrow (SO looking forward to that)!
