COMMENTS
Sleep - Time and Quality: Getting closer to what I want my sleeping schedule to be re bed and getting up.
Mood/Aggression: We have to take charge of our own destiny, yes, but I have to trust that God has a future for me in line with the one I want for myself!
Energy: I'm not as 'bouncy' as I have been re energy today - the heavy resistance training is catching up on me and the extra weight is actually having an effect.
Mental Focus and Clarity: Can't afford to clack off today, though.
Stress: Funny how some music can get you worked up and motivate your aggression for things like training, but then the exact same music can also help chill you the fcuk out - that's what hard rock/metal, etc. does for me at any rate, and right now I am listening to it to HELP calm me down and try to relax!
Libido: Rearing its demanding head.
Endurance: Ok.
Strength: Believe me when I say that those extra 10-15 pounds made a HUGE difference to my performance!
Quality of Training: I only did four rounds of the V-Burn Challenge Circuit today. Not only was my left ankle bothering me from yesterday, but both my wrists were suffering during Push-Ups. The Handstand Push-Ups are a b*tch, and I couldn't go all the way down on all of them. Next week, though, there can be NO excuses for not doing SEVEN rounds!
Recovery: Everything is catching up on me.
Other Notes: I will finish up my bottle of Slin-Sane today -yes I know, one bottle in a week; it's crazy! I've actually been having an extra dose than what I mentioned earlier, but that's fine - it has been a huge help over the last week.
FIT TIP OF THE DAY
If you want fat loss, then RESISTANCE TRAINING is the BEST type of training you can do! Cardio is NOT even necessary for fat loss (even though it has many benefits and can be used to get your caloric deficit, instead of doing it through lower caloric intake). The BEST way to achieve fat loss though, is through a COMBINATION of resistance training, cardio, AND flexibility (since you can't forget this - stretching is active recovery).
