Physical, Mood etc.:
Morning – Woke up at 3:30am, mood about a 3, body grateful for gym break!
Lunch – Mood about 4ish – feeling pretty good overall, a little drained in the legs perhaps?
Night – Ended on a high note despite going a bit flat mid-afternoon
Notes:
Been an interesting “day off”. Had a slump mid-afternoon to early evening. Tired, drained and could feel motivation level dropping fast. The cure was watching Biggest Loser; seeing a couple of contestants digging deep seems to have sparked things back to life with me.
On reflection I think going to the gym every day out gets to be easy due to habit – taking a day off introduces space and time to think. Space and time that negative crap can make use of if allowed.
