Day 355: Stim-Dependency

Quote of the Day

"One day at a time - this is enough. Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering." - Unknown

Training

None. Against myself, my body made this this week's day OFF . . . GRRR . . .

Comments

Sleep - Time and Quality: Still not falling asleep until ~0600, but sleeping longer and longer, waking just after 1400 today! NOT cool, and explainable, when thought about.

Energy: I've had nothing for anything but doing what I have to. The problem is that I've been withOUT any real stimulants for quite some time now, and it's definitely affecting EVERYthing - as I have said before, I'm NOT (well, barely, at any rate) functional withOUT a LOT of stimulants (and yes, I know it is something that I have to kick OUT of - FAST)!

Stress: Higher than ever.

Recovery: Fatigued and no good for anything.

Day 353: NEVER Give Up!

Quote of the Day

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength." - Unknown

Training

HIIT Cardio:
a. 4 min easy
b. 12 x 40 sec effort/20 sec easy
c. 4 min easy

Stretch 20 min.

Comments

Energy: I am absolutely EXHAUSTED!

Stress: No need to elaborate on the obvious.

Recovery: Again, still feeling shattered - not sure why, since yesterday was a day off, and I should have recovered from last week's training. Then again, it could be BECAUSE I didn't train yesterday, since training usually energizes me and makes me feel a lot better.

Other Notes: Used the last of my Shred Matrix today - very upset, and can't wait to get more. I definitely notice the difference when not using that - and Alpha-T2!

Comments

Sleep - Time and Quality: Not sleeping until ~0630 in the morning - mind just going too fast. Going to make serious attempts at getting back into a routine, because I NEED it!

Mood/Aggression: If you can't handle the truth, then don't the question. If you ask the question and you don't get the answer you want, I don't want your "you didn't give me what I wanted" drama bullsh*t. Grow a pair and deal with it!

Energy: All smiles.

Mental Focus and Clarity: I have another two assessments due this week, and this time I am going to manage my time better (since training comes first).

Stress: High.

Immune System: Everyone around me is getting sick and I'm fine.

Libido: Up there.

Joints: My knees were feeling it after nine minutes of my run.

Endurance: Great.

Strength: The new training programme will work on getting this back up again - finally; I am SO sick of high reps!

Pump: Awesome, and right from the first superset!

Vascularity: Knots and lines.

Quality of Training: HIIT was done outside, running - going to make the most of the lack of heat and run outside until it starts snowing. Only did one set of efforts, but they were enough . . . Resistance training was good. I have "baseline" statistics for this session to compare to over coming weeks. I was sweating a bit during as well, feeling very hot. Pump and vascularity were both strong. Feeling more like me . . . Post-Weights Cardio passed fast . . .

Recovery: I've just had three days OFF - I SHOULD be ok!

Body Composition and Look: 10.1% bodyfat. Going to be dropping back down to 8% bodyfat (leaner if I can) and then maintaining between 8-9% bodyfat.

Other Effects: Finding that I have been more tired than usual lately, which is odd considering that I haven't been training - definitely NOT training has NEGATIVE effects on me.

Other Notes: I started Alpha-T2 and Shred Matrix again today. Until I get my NeoVar Recomped, Shred Matrix will act as my nutrient repartitioner.

"'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'" - Jeremiah 29:11-13

"Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. IMPOSSIBLE is nothing. How are you going to live your life?" - U.S. Army

"I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shacked by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions but I drink them in and swallow them away to the blackness of hell. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak and kills their heart from inside. If I fall... I will get up. If I am beaten... I will return. I will never give up... EVER." - Nike

"The biggest risk in life is to risk nothing at all." - Anonymous

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"It’s not about what you’ve got; it’s about what you DO with what you’ve got.” – Andie West, Step Up 2: The Streets

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." – Steve Prefontaine

"Never, never, never, never give up." - Winston Churchill

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!...until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life...Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something...and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!...You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. The only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table...is what's right." - Rocky Balboa

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

"Nothing in the world is permanent and we are foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we are still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it." – William Somerset Maughan

"There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you." - Stacey Charter
