DAY 48
TGIF. I wanted so badly to hit the gym. Sadly, I was in such a ridiculous amount of pain that I could hardly get out of my chair most of the day. The only reason I did even that was to prevent my legs from growing roots and freezing up altogether. Not a good day. I ate well, but no workouts to be spoken of. Not much movement at all, in fact. I can only do as much as my body allows.
DAY 49
Still not fully recuperated, I spent most of today stretching out my hamstrings hoping to still get in a late night treadmill session. It took every bit of the day, but I finally made it onto the treadmill just after midnight. Not exactly how I saw the weekend playing out to this point, but ehhh, I’m working on it.
Intervals were both good and bad. I was soooo slow and lumbering, but I was able to push myself albeit at much lower speeds. I went after it old school tonight, with Du Hast (Rammstein) and Head Like a Hole (Nine Inch Nails) blasting in my ears. When all was said and done, I brought it tonight. I actually feel GREAT right now, basking in the post-interval glow at 1AM.
Another weigh-in tomorrow. The week consisted of one brutal weight lifting session and one interval workout. That’s it. I did, however, eat almost perfectly all week and still expect magic numbers in the morning. I won’t be happy unless I drop at least 4 pounds (and kind of nervous about it too).
For that to happen, though, I need sleep. I’ll be out in 10 minutes.
Interesting week coming up… more about that later.
