Energy ...Where Art Thou?

Oy...Day 4 is a toughie. I just feel out of sorts and like I'm running on fumes. It probably doesn't help that have been doing 2 workouts per day. Why? I dunno...felt like it. I'm VERY motivated and in the zone so I'll just go with it for now.



Couple interesting tidbits:



1-Got a "booty" text at 6am yesterday. Hmmmm guess that is thinking ahead?



2- Got a mistaken identity text for another Barbara who is an actor? Odd no? I replied and stated that if they needed another Barbara to read the scripts, I'd happily oblige :)



This morning WOD was a toughie.



"Jess"



5 rounds of 400 M Run, 15 Power Cleans. RX'd weight was 65 but I did 45lb, finished first so I realize my weight wasn't heavy enough. It's time for me to set outside of my comfort zone and get HEAVY! I must add that 45lb mixed with many many DEEP squats feels quite heavy to me!



Just saying....



Time was 24:06...



Last night I hit the gym for a serious leg/ab workout with a few biceps. THIS is why 45lb hurt so damn much!

Hammies on the ball

3 sets of 20



21's with 45lb bar-3 sets..frigging ouch!

Pilate's crap...

Hmmm maybe my energy isn't so low? It sure felt sluggish this morning though :(. Thank goodness for my secret weapon.....GREEN TEA EXTRACT!!!!!!! Awesomeness in a small potent bottle.

Yes I love your "low energy" days. Certainly motivating. Or a guilt trip. Whichever. ;-)
