Today was almost a disaster. I woke up at 6:30 as planned, had breakfast, packed my bags, and then a wave of nausea the likes of which I haven't experienced in a good long while hit me. I nearly threw up several times and would have called in sick if I wasn't afraid to move to find my phone. Luckily, staying still for a good long while seemed to do the trick and I made it to work in one piece.
FOOD:
I had to guesstimate the Pad Thai, but other than that I feel pretty good about what I ate today. Lots of fruits and vegetables and protein!
EXERCISE:
My arms are definitely sore, but I'm going to switch it up to ohp tomorrow instead of bench. I think alternating arm exercises makes the most sense for me. Oh! I also got a little grip exerciser in the mail; those ones you squeeze like a stress ball. Marcos says to work some sets into my regular workout to increase grip.
SCHEDULE:
All in all, I'm pretty impressed that I kept to the schedule this well today. Everything was timed within about 15 minutes of its intended timeline. It did seem to upset Marcos that my 'bed time' is so much earlier than usual – we usually get in our best tv time around midnight – so I'm not sure how viable a long-term schedule is, but I'm still invested in keeping it up this round. I want to give it a real shot to see how it affects my mood, performance, and progress.
I was also a lot more productive today than usual! At least, up until I came home. I still need to commit to getting shit done whether I'm in the mood or no.
LEARNED:
I'll probably always have a snack around 6:30 after my nap regardless of whether I exercise or no. I was pretty hungry by then and it helped reinvigorate me.

QUESTIONS:
- should I just suck it up and ask Burke to check my form?
- should my pre-workout snack be more protein or carb heavy?
