I’m really pissed with myself. I let boredom and nerves get to me, control me, and overfeed me considerably. Today’s fast it to 5AM Saturday. I wanted to fast throughout Saturday since I’m not really there, mentally, to soldier through another day of no food so early on.
But it’s the last day of the week, so whatever. Doing it.
Here is yesterday’s workout:
Bench Press
- 100lbs. x 2 (my right middle finger was infected when I worked out, I think my lack of right hand grip and just losing focus cost me the third rep)
- 90lbs. x 3
- 80lbs. x 4
Incline Bench
- 65lbs. x 8
- 55lbs. x 9
- 45lbs. x 10 (how fortunate I am that my bottom set is the empty bar, haha!)
I had a much more difficult time with these sets than I was anticipating.
Incline Fly, 3 x 5 @ 15lbs.
Cardio: 30 minutes of 90s walk / 30s jog on the treadmill. 2 and 4 mph, respectively.
I really didn’t feel like doing cardio, but I was already in the gym, already sweaty, and figured I less didn’t-want-to-do-it-now that I would…n’t… want to… in the future. “Do it now so less need be done at a later date,” I felt.
I’m going lay out my workout for next week so I’m not in a rush to figure it out before I leave the house in the morning.
