Comments

Sleep - Time and Quality: I return to my residence and I sleep for ~7 hours - what's up with that? Some timezones here in the US must be better suited for me than others. I don't mind the 3-4 hours - although 4-5 hours is optimal - of sleep 5-6 days a week, and then 'making up' for it by sleeping longer on the weekend.

Mood/Aggression: Holding onto what I had.

Energy: I have energy, but I feel like sh*t - every time I cough I feel like someone is trying to rip out my chest.

Mental Focus and Clarity: I've been pretty alert the last couple of days, getting a lot done.

Stress: I figured out what it was - being back into a normal pattern, able to live my life without the feeling of being trapped . . .

Libido: This has not slowed down - maybe I should have done something about it like I wanted to before I got sick

Joints: Joints have been fine.

Recovery: Hips and glutes are fine - core hurts now, which is fine because it makes me know my training the last few days has done something.

Body Composition and Look: Down to 113.2 pounds - probably from the lack of food (not sure why I haven't had much of an appetite lately).

Other Notes: Got some great news today - another step in the direction I want and need to go in for my career. Definitely positive . . . Today has become this week's day off, and then tomorrow it is back to conquering myself - something that, until now, has been very hard to do, but 2011 is going to be different, and I started it out how I want to continue! So continue I will . . .
