 Have you ever had that feeling you get when something just isn't right? It is that feeling of impending doom that happens when something is not normal. It is that sinking feeling that all is not right with your world. Today has been a very stressful day. I've been feeling kind of down. I had a very hard time sleeping through the night. I still dragged myself to the gym early this morning for my cardio workout, but something is missing today and I'm not sure what it is. I'm also not clear on the source of my stress. I get this strong feeling that something just isn't right in my world. This is not a good thing with my mission hitting the mid point. I am not going to allow my mood to change my focus. I will dig down deep and do the things that propel me forward. I have PRWs, but they do no good if I am not doing something daily to further them. That's my state of mind today. If you are used to my usual upbeat posts, this is not going to be one of your favorites. I assure you that. Everybody that was around me today noticed my mood. I suppose that's a good sign because it means I'm rarely ever in this sort of mood. I just wish I knew what was the cause of it. Physically I feel good, but mentally I'm exhausted. I am looking forward to my workout in the morning. I need to push some heavy weight around to feel better. I know that for an hour between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. I will be working as hard as I possibly can work and that thought makes me feel a little bit better. So to everyone out there, I apologize, but today is not my best day. |

 As mentioned, I had a horrible time sleeping, but I didn't use that as an excuse. I went to the gym for cardio and instead of my usual steady state session I decided on an interval session. It was an intense interval session. I warmed up at 4.5 mph for 2 minutes. I then proceeded to do 2 minutes at 8.5 mph, 1 minute at 6.5 mph, 2 minutes at 9.5 mph, 1 minute at 6.5 mph, 2 minutes at 10.5 mph and 1 minute at 6.5 mph. I repeated that 3 times and managed a total of 30 minutes today. My legs were like rubber at the end of the workout. Now, because I'm bulking, I'm very sensitive to any possibility of losing lean body mass, so today I immediately had a protein shake loaded with BCAAs as soon as cardio was over. That is said to help maintain the LBM that can be lost from a cardio session. |

 Not every day will be the best day ever, but you have to dig deep and stick to your plan even on the worst of days. |
