I haven't been on the forums very much the last couple of days, I've been rather busy. I spent all weekend looking at houses and I put an offer in and it was accepted. So, things aren't looking much better in the best future as far as my time goes. Working 60+ hours/week, working out 5 days/week, closing on a house, moving, and starting the test portion of my cycle in 4 weeks is going to be a huge challenge to keep my sanity.
I didn't have a chance to update my log last night after working out because I just had to much going on. So, while I have a few minutes at work, I figured I'd give my update from yesterday.
I basically felt like shit all day yesterday, just absolutely exhausted all day. I had no motivation to workout but I still drug my ass in there. My workout was not very good, it was very sluggish and my stomach was not feeling well. I still completed my workout though. The entire workout I kept telling myself I was going to skip cardio last night. Somehow as I was leaving I managed to make a turn and head up to the cardio room. I was able to talk myself into doing cardio at the last minute. However, my cardio was not very good. I did 30 minutes of steady state on the elliptical and my justification for this was that it was better than if I had just left. Monday's are very hard for me because I work 13 hours on about 5 hours of sleep and then do 90 minutes of weight training and then try to finish with cardio. Either way I was very happy that I at least got some cardio in.
After cardio I felt horrible. I felt like I was going to throw up, I had zero appetite and I was most exhausted. I managed to get most of my post workout meal down but it was very hard having no appetite. I feel 100% better today then I did yesterday, so I have high hopes for my workout session tonight.
I'm going to juggle my meals around a little today because I think that my preworkout meal is what keeps making me feel nauseous. I think that the meal is just too heavy 60 minutes before training. On a positive note, I'm down to 270 on the scale and my top two abs are popping like crazy. I'm getting very lean and I'm loving it.
Preparation is 3/4 the battle.
