This week I had a slight downturn in my energy levels and moodiness has returned. There was more inertia in me to get to the gym and the weight that I lift in the gym felt heavier than before. It could be insufficient sleep (<7 hours per day) as a result of several nighttime events that occurred for me this week, breaking my strict routine of 9:30pm-5:30am sleep. Or it could be that I did more runs than usual, causing me to have delayed onset muscle fatigue.
I continued to push myself hard at the gym and I am glad that I completed a full week despite the huge drag. There were 2 days out of 5 training days that I really did not feel like stepping into the gym, and my body was telling me to take a rest and call it off. But my mind pushed through and I got to the gym, sustained through the toughest sets at the start and finished my routine without missing any exercise. In that, I am proud of myself.
I like that I am prioritising workouts first thing in the morning on weekdays because it places the importance and emphasis that fitness has in my life. I make sure that I clear them when I am fully recharged early in the day before I carry on with my life with a sense of accomplishment.
It's one week to go before I get my booster jab for nebido, I will continue to work hard and make the best out of this.
