Tough one today. I ate poorly yesterday (Balance Bar, 3 Tacos, Pint of Ice Cream) and really suffered today as a result. In spite of stretching in the evening yesterday, I woke up feeling weak and unmotivated. I went into the gym and found myself laying on the stall mat thinking about going back to bed, so I went inside.
Over the course of the day I made a point to eat as well as I know how. I drank plenty of water and made a point to leave work on time. Walking into my gym at 6:30, I still felt crummy. I was weak and my head hurt. So, I went for it:
12k Kettlebell Warm Up Two Handed Swings: 15 x 16k, 24k, 32k, 32k, 32k, 32k KB Squats: 5 x BW, 16k, 24k, 16k's, 16k's
At this point, the squats were leaving me dizzy and my head was throbbing. Humidity in the garage was 100% and my shirt was soaked. I decided enough was enough and went inside. I'll do better tomorrow.
On the bright side, my hands felt great when doing the swings with the 24k. Outside of the work I did Saturday on the kettlebell handle, last night I used a pumice stone on my calluses while soaking in a bath. It did an excellent job of cleaning off the dead skin. My hand care program has been seriously lacking without one of these, and I didn't even know it.
