Sleep - Time and Quality: ~0100-0735 (waking at 0135 and 0237), so ~6.5 hours sleep. Alert and 'awake' late last night (interesting considering how I was feeling early afternoon). Woke feeling fine, but with extreme DOMS in hamstrings and calves from yesterday (miss IGF-2, but will have it again in about a week). Deep sleep. Dreaming...
Mental Alertness/Focus: I have been so focused today.
Energy: Bouncing around the hardest ever today. Energy in the gym was unreal; I have found my new favourite preworkout product!
Motivation: Excellent.
Mood/Aggression: Aggressive in the gym; I was NOT going to give an inch...Mood has been fine all day up until not so long ago...
Stress: HIGH.
Libido: HIGH.
Joints: Left wrist only ached a few times in the gym and was fine throughout the day.
Endurance: Excellent. Speed endurance is also starting to pick up again.
Strength: Picking back up again.
Quality of Training: HIIT was excellent! I was REALLY pushing myself hard during my efforts (I usually go as hard as I can, but I have been so fatigued lately and don't feel as if they have been as great), asking for MORE, with all of them aside from a couple in my second set explosive...Resistance training was great. Time passed quickly...
Pump and Vascularity: Pump carried over from HIIT, getting harder during resistance training...Vascularity knots and rope...
Muscle Hardness/Density: Legs, shoulders, and arms.
Body Composition and Look: Starting to look passable...Anterior delt and arm definition during resistance training good...
Appetite: Fine.
Overall Sense of Feeling: Happy New Year...So closes one chapter and another opens. Positive going into 2010 (I have technically had 365 days and 18 hours this year, since coming to the US gained me a bit by being behind NZ). Looking forward to what 2010 holds. I plan on making it MY year!...Thought that this
Nickelback song (although I have used it in here before) is very fitting and the perfect way to end one year and enter the next: "...Each day's a gift and not a given right, Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind, And try to take the path less traveled by, That first step you take is the longest stride...Against the grain should be a way of life, What's worth the prize is always worth the fight, Every second counts 'cause there's no second try, So live like you'll never live it twice...It's never too late to shoot for the stars, Regardless of who you are, So do whatever it takes, 'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life, Let nothin' stand in your way, 'Cause the hands of time are never on your side"...SURGE FORWARD INTO 2010! DREAM HIGH! AIM FOR THE STARS! TAKE NO PRISONERS! NEVER ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS THAN THE BEST THAT YOU CAN GIVE!
