Day 132: More laughter required

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

"To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson


TRAINING

Cardio - Rollers:
20 min in 39x18 @ 100 rpm

Stretch 20 min.


COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: ~6 hours. I am waking shattered lately.

Mood/Aggression: Good.

Endurance: Fine.

Quality of Training: Just an easy session today. My body was relieved for it!

Recovery: Legs are still suffering a little from Monday and Tuesday; when they're like this, they feel swollen, so hopefully that goes soon - considering not doing HIIT tomorrow, with just the resistance session, and leaving HIIT until Sunday.

Body Composition and Look: I was actually ok with what I saw in the mirror this morning. Starting to lean out as I want now. It looks like I am leaner than I was for my competition last year, which is great (I want to be!), and we'll see tomorrow whether I got close to 8% this week (and if not this week, then definitely next week).

Other Notes: Looking forward to Saturday
