COMMENTS

Mood/Aggression: Not the best, especially since training. Aggression is high and RISING. I have no tolerance for idiots and are getting sick of those who ask questions without bothering to actually LOOK FIRST for themselves - seriously, it's not hard! As for those that have to ask about absolutely EVERYthing, get yourself a trainer or someone who will educate you, since you're not interested in putting in the personal effort to research it! And don't get me started on those who constantly ask questions, but only ask them because they want justification and validation of their idiocy! Yes, it's RANT time It's not just all that though. I seriously just want to SMASH something break it into a million pieces, beat the hell out of I guess there's only so long you can repress some things. Everything is just coming to a head. It's not just the idiots and freeloaders - current circumstances are really pushing me to my limits. All I have left right now is my FAITH! Time for some serious time OUT! Lord, please give me STRENGTH!

Energy: There. Barely

Stress: Don't start!

Joints: Right knee still niggling. Affected my running in the last few minutes, favouring that leg.

Endurance: Fine.

Strength: Weak

Quality of Training: HIIT was ok. Not the best though. Body was suffering today, so only did eight sprints . . . Resistance training was a bomb. After a single triset I was ready to walk out is how much like sh*t I was feeling and how fcuked off I was getting with the pain and struggling with the pathetic weights I had to resort to lifting, no matter that those pathetic weights were intense for me today, having me almost in tears for the second day in a row. SERIOUS Dug my heels in though; I am better than that; I'm made of more than that; nothing runs me out of what I HAVE to do! . . . Just stretching afterwards. My body was seriously BURNED . . .

Recovery: NOT recovering well this week, as evidenced by my training the last two days

Body Composition and Look: Still a LONG way off where I want to be

Other Notes: Received some more Erase and Alpha-t2 today (my only today), so will be starting them both again tomorrow.
