COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: ~6 hours.

Mood/Aggression: Feeling good. Smiling.

Energy: Energy not been the best today - yawning a lot during training, and feeling shattered afterwards. Maybe it will pick up later today?

Endurance: Great.

Strength: Doing well with strength, despite the constant pain in my left wrist.

Pump: Not until the triset.

Vascularity: Getting better and better.

Quality of Training: Used the StairMaster for the first time ever this morning. I definitely felt it in my calves. Also had to keep looking AT the stairs as I was on it, or I kept tripping over my feet, LOL . . . Resistance training was good. Left wrist was in pain throughout the session, but I dealt with it, stretching it out between sets. Like yesterday, switched things up a little re exercises, etc., and made for an interesting session. Face was flushed today, but eyes were red and for some reason could not stop yawning . . . Definitely did NOT feel like doing Post-Weights Cardio, and was an effort to finish the last 5-6 minutes, but I did it. Self-discipline - if there is ever a time to employ it, NOW it that time! . . .

Appetite: SELF-DISCIPLINE!

Body Composition and Look: I was surprised to see the difference in my hips this morning - seems like the fat is starting to go from there first. So, back to going from my LOWER body first this time around perhaps - would be great if yes!


FIT TIP OF THE DAY

"Self Discipline: The ability to take action regardless of your emotional state." - Walt Ostarly. You need to have self-discipline to achieve your goals, something to keep you on track, doing what you know you have to even when you don't feel like it, to maintain consistency.
