Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: Nearly a solid 12 hours!!!
Mood/Aggression: I feel slightly better knowing WHY I have been feeling the way I have - not so great knowing WHAT it is . . . I wonder if God is up there laughing at me?
Energy: It was an effort to get through training to be sure, but the energy is there - it's just about tapping into it and knowing I CAN do it!
Stimulant Effects: None.
Mental Focus and Clarity: My mind NEVER turns off - how's that?!
Metabolism: Interesting.
Appetite: The thought of eating is highly UNappealing right now, especially considering the unpleasant effects that occur after every time I eat, regardless of what or how much (or little) I eat . . . BC+EAA is probably the more important supplement I use right now, and it's going to become even MORE essential to my nutrition than ever from now on . . .
Stress: I am a highly stressed individual by nature, and need it to function properly, but there comes a time when the stress experienced becomes DETRIMENTAL to operations . . .
Libido: Some.
Endurance: Good.
Strength: Better than it was last week for this session.
Pump: Right anterior delt was PAINFUL - sometimes this even affects the session.
Vascularity: Better than it has been during resistance training . . .
Quality of Training: HIIT was even more maximum effort than usual - if that's even possible. I literally had to stop after every effort, that's how hard I was pushing myself, and it took the entire 40 seconds to recover between efforts. MORE efforts needed to be done, I know, but I made up for it in post-weights cardio . . . Resistance session was good. My face started getting flushed after the second alternate set - which is odd, considering usually all colour DRAINS from my face when I'm lifting . . . Post-Weights Cardio was an effort starting out, and my eyes were closed, feeling like I wanted to pass out. Halfway through, I opened my eyes and focused on the quote on the wall ahead of me: "You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them" (Michael Jordon), and from then on, I was pushing it, making my body work and sweat, finishing with my shirt literally drenched . . .
Recovery: Fully recovered after all that sleep!
Body Composition and Look: Searching deep for the positivity.
Other Effects: None.
Other Notes: Learnt a few more things about my body over the last two weeks - not all of it good (it happens when you abuse it too much)! Going to be making a few changes re nutrition and lifestyle to accommodate for it, and hopefully improve my health. It's time the Female Terminator was not only revolutionized, but REMODELED as well!
