Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 323
Day 323 Today didn't start out too well. I woke up feeling exhausted. I didn't sleep well and had absolutely no energy. I went to work for my first client at 7:00 this morning. Usually after being up for a bit I feel pretty awake, but by the time 8:00 rolled around I was feeling more tired and my stomach was starting to bother me. I stuck around work for a little bit longer then decided to go home and lie down. I ended sleeping for about 3 hrs. When I woke up I wasn't feeling much better. I was a little worried that this was really going to get in the way of my workout today, but after a little bit of some pink liquid and some more rest I started to feel much better.
I thought about waiting until later in the evening to do my workout, but I decided to get something in earlier in case I started to feel yucky again. My 3:00 clients, Shelagh and Christine were nice enough to let me join them for some upper body work.
Today's Workout:

A1. Landmine Chest Press: 10 reps per side / no rest (55lbs) A2. Keiser Bench Press: 6 - 8 reps / no rest (135lbs) A3. Deficit Push-ups: Max Reps / 90 seconds rest (Body Weight)

Rotary Focus:
C1.Landmine Barbell Twist: 3 sets / 30 reps (15 reps per side) / 60 seconds rest (45lbs)
It's amazing how exercise can make you feel better. Once the heart gets working and the blood starts moving it seems like whatever sort of malaise you are suffering just goes away. It did take me a little bit to get going but after a few minutes I felt fine. My stomach was still a bit off but my energy levels were great.
About an hour after the workout I started to feel really tired again. Hopefully tonight I can get a better sleep and feel better tomorrow. Fortunately I have a later start tomorrow. I'm far too close to my goal to let something get in my way. If have to do push-ups beside a bucket to finish my goal, then that's what I'll do.
