Comments
Sleep - Time and Quality: ~5 hours - let's hope that it STAYS normal from now on!
Energy: I have none.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Actually getting into my assessment now - once on a roll, focus is CONCENTRATED.
Stress: Might have to do something about this VERY soon.
Joints: Left elbow still clicking. Mid back aching a little.
Endurance: Ok.
Strength: Good.
Quality of Training: HIIT Run was slow - the slowest ever. I just had no energy. Even my efforts were pitiful . . . Resistance training was heavier weights, less reps, less sets to make for less overall duration than usual . . .
Recovery: Noticing that the heavier weights are definitely taking more out of me.
Body Composition and Look: Seeing upper abs better than I was at the start of the week. Obliques as well.
Question of the Day
Do we ever truly know what we are capable of? So many people become and are what others want them to be, trying to please others, that I wonder if they ever really know who and what they are, or whether they are even capable of knowing . . .
