Oh boy … today is leg day…. And oooo it is going to be a hard one. We have 4 sets of single leg presses to do, and that’s after doing SM Full Squats for 4 sets. I really like this session, so I have something good to work towards today. Hopefully, I’ll have a good energy level come 4:00 PM. 

I just know that ‘Muscles’ is not going to play today, so I have to come ready with my ‘A’ game. With just 8 full weeks out to the show, he’s seriously going to push me! BRING IT ON Shaun ‘Muscles’ Campbell! I’m ready for you today!!!!! Oh lawd …. What did I just commit to? 

I did not fall asleep til fairly late last night, so I find I was drained of some energy this morning on the treadmill. It was a great 45 minute session, but I chose to walk briskly instead of going for short interval sprints. 

It’s soo true what they say about importance of sleep. I’ll never forget being told about ‘sleep debt’. This is when you get less sleep (even 1 hour less) than we need each night. If the deficit becomes too great, then what begins to happen is you begin to experience sleepiness when you should be awake and alert. I also heard that sleep debt is not a 1:1 ratio … meaning, if you lose 1 hour tonight you need 1 hour tomorrow. I can’t remember exactly the ratio, but I believe it was 1 to many. If I find it out, I’ll let you know. 

That being said, I need some serious catch-ups … haha 

Anyhoo, I have a presentation to prep for this morning so I have to leave you now. Wish me luck with my leg day! 

Have a great one, and see you back here tomorrow. 

Cheers, 

Nke
