Comments
Mood/Aggression: Very out of sorts heading to the gym - I was actually feeling sick to my stomach during training, pushing myself harder to try and burn up my aggression. I hate being so helpless to be able to do anything! . . . Mood goofy at work. Hyperactive after work. Calming down back into self-destruct mode now . . .
Energy: The batteries in this Energizer Bunny just KEEP GOING!
Mental Focus and Clarity: No chance of stopping . . . I need to focus on my study for the next few weeks, though, more than anything . . .
Stress: If I thought it was high, it's gone up several notches since this morning!
Endurance: Excellent.
Pump: STUNNING! Loved it!
Vascularity: Through anterior delts and biceps, snaking down my arms, the lines were thick. Striking blue on my legs.
Quality of Training: My head was so out of it that when I got to the gym, I headed to the Stepper, and almost halfway through realized that I was supposed to be doing HIIT today. Finished out the minute and started on my HIIT Run. Pushed myself, lungs not burning as much . . . Resistance training was interesting. My head wasn't really in it, even though my body was screaming in pain - yes, even with the pathetic weights I was using. Half-way through I wanted to give up and just go home, but stubbornness kept me going . . . Post-Weights Cardio was almost as bad, but I just stepped out the minutes . . .
Recovery: It's not my body but my head that could use a break today.
