Last night was the wedding, and that was pretty fun. I didn't want to miss my workout though, so after the dancing and all of that jazz kicked in it was time to leave. Honestly, I wasn't feeling well either. I've been eating pretty clean lately, and as tasty as all of the food was there was so much butter and it screwed with my stomach. Incidentally, mashed potato bar is a genius idea!
So I got home after 9, but the gang was just wrapping up their workout and were cool enough to spot me. I did 3x5 at 195 on squats, and it honestly felt pretty good (minus the butter curdling in my stomach. I'm planning on moving up to 200 tomorrow!
I did shoulder press at 115, again with no bounce. I rocked those out too, and am so proud with my progress on shoulders. Taking out the bounce really used all of the muscles! I'm planning on moving up to 120 on Friday.
I finished with chinups. 2x9 and 1x7. Not bad numbers, especially considering I blasted out the shoulder press right before it.
Overall it was a good workout, but with the food in the stomach and the late start time it wasn't my best. I'm looking forward to making some more progress this week though.
After the workout the butter wasn't sitting well, and a lot of things in life have really gone to shit which is making me stressed. I sat on the couch for an hour, and when I got up my lower back was in immense pain. I was having trouble walking, and then my stomach started to hurt, and then stress got to my head. It was a rough night of sleep that ended way too early since I had to get some freelance work done, and this morning was a very rough morning. I couldn't even think about food, let alone a veggie juice, so I skipped breakfast.
With all of that said, I did manage to eat some bananas today and made it home for a healthy veggie juice. However, I'm still not feeling very well, my back hurts still and my head throbs more and more every time I think about all of the crap in my life right now. I'm not normally a complainer (or maybe I am and don't know it), but I've gotta get some things under control before I move forward with the whole Fat Free Jew mentality. Tonight I'm going to skip cardio and sit on the couch, eat some food, play some video games and relax. Hopefully tomorrow I'm feeling better.
Anyways, that's my story. I need the break tonight, but I have to make a conscious effort to ensure this is not the routine. I refuse to be lazy and soft, especially with unemployment coming up, and working out is going to keep my life positive! Thursday I will be in that gym working my ass off! And tomorrow I will do 200 on squats, 175 on bench and hopefully up the deadlift!
Bring it!
