Rest Day

Takin today off, back is fried from deadlifts and metcon wod yesterday.

Diet: Horrible, great all day but tonite will be a disaster. To clarify, my diet throughout the day was all paleo, plenty of meats and vegs as usual. But it being new years eve and 8 pm, I'm preparing to go out and join in on the festivities which will include drinking a enormous amount of Guiness.

Sleep: Went to Bed at 11, woke around 9. Lots of sleep, felt good.

Mental: Today feels like a good rest day. Yesterday I was able to make my lifts on my progression's schedule, which was a fear. I was also able to turn a decent metcon in the evening. My back is sore, good time to rest it. I'm hopeful to make it to the 945 am wod at the box but who knows whats going to happen tonight.

Intro

This blog is to serve as a journal of my training. It will document my workouts in detail as well as serve as a record of dietary and sleep habits. Anything that I feel bares importance on my training performance will be addressed, as well as abstract topics occasionally.


Activity : Rest

Dietary: Drank last night, 4-6 drinks. Woke up dehydrated, but not badly, minor headache. Ate some junk from 7-11 ( 2 taquitos and a donut) late last night. Since waking I have had 3 eggs a third of an avocado and a handful of almonds, about to have an apple. The rest of the day is looking like some wings from hooligans and some chicken breasts and broccoli for dinner. and plenty of fish oil.

Mentality: General outlook, good. Had a fun time last night. Alot of good people I hadn't seen in a long time. Enjoyed being out last night, drinking, socializing. I hope that I can continue the dedication to my training and enjoy the weekends occasionally. It is a difficult to balance.

Sleep: Went to bed around 4, woke at 9.
