Washed Up

What a day.  My horoscope said "You could feel a little out of sorts in the morning."  For the record, EVERYTHING feels out of sorts when you get up at 4:30.  I stand in front of the mirror, splash water on my face, and think to myself if anyone saw me in that particular state it might scare the crap out of them.  Lets be honest, everyone looks like a tornado victim upon waking.  But I slap on my war paint and hit the ground running.

I thought I would be well rested from the weekend because I really didn't have too much going on.  And I was able to just SIT yesterday...pretty much plastered to the recliner for a few hours.  Every time I'd lift my head to get up I would talk myself out of it.  I was pretty much worthless yesterday from 3-6pm.  Seriously, what will happen when I have kids one day and can't nap for 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon?  I wouldn't put it past me to hand them some rocks, sticks, and matches and tell them to go have fun.  Needless to say, I was pooped.

As far as training this weekend, I did high intensity intervals on the treadmill Saturday and then took Sunday completely off.  The sprints went well, although my legs feel like they weigh 1000 lbs right now.  After 25 minutes I was sucking wind.  The highlight of my weekend was the big fat steak I ate on Saturday night.  I ate that cow like it was my last meal....no chance I would ever be a vegetarian.  I'd gnaw off my arm before that would happen.

Today's workout was great.  I did shoulders, triceps,  and core, and then finished with some sprints on the treadmill.  Weights were heavy, but good.

I am ashamed to say that I am ending this blog to watch a new episode of Jersey Shore.  Its very possible that I may lose a few brain cells in the course of the next hour....
