Ever Had One of Those, “Please let this training be over,” Days?
My rhythm was thrown off today from the time I stepped into the gym. I didn’t warm up with leg extensions b/c someone was nursing the machine so I stretched a little. Then I forgot that I was supposed to be super setting. When I finally moved to the second exercise someone started talking to me in the middle of a set. About mid-way during leg lunges I began looking at the clock as if it could expedite my work out. I needed the training fairy today. I was tired from the weekend, disappointed that my weight loss is not going according to plan, and annoyed by the fact that I am carrying a little water weight.
Thank goodness the bodybuilding angel showed up and gave me a pep talk. After torturing my quads and shoulders, I did cardio and was on the machine next to Will. When he asked how I was doing, I told him so he shared a few words of encouragement. It was just what I needed to get thru cardio and also what I needed to shift my attitude for the week.
I am still fumbling with my training schedule. Decided that I’d rather not do split training on Mon. & Tues. b/c of alternative parking. It’s frustrating to go to the gym @ 6, rush home, and can’t find parking. I’ll have to train and do cardio in the afternoons on M & T. By doing this I will be able to resume my walk to work routine (1.5 miles each way).
Carb loaded unintentionally this past weekend and must compensate nutritionally for this action. I’ll have to decrease starchy carbs & overall cal intake by 100.

Hate those days…but have them every now and then. Kind of stinks you have to try to arrange your training according to parking. Adapt and overcome! Hang in there JC and keep pushin Hard!
