Ughhhh. Today was so blah. Some of it was good, but some of it was really frustrating. On exercise days, my new 'schedule' leaves little room for error. It's now 9:00 and I have no idea what I'll be eating for dinner which is supposed to be right now.
It's just that my workout was totally uninspiring. I did all the exercises, but I don't feel like I pushed myself. Part of it was that I was doing it alone again with no music (darn it), but another part was that the goddamn upstairs neighbor was blasting his music again. It was so loud I could feel the bass which only made me angry and distracted from what I was doing. I didn't give it my full attention which disappoints me.
FOOD:
Super lunch! And I felt like I spread out the calories well before my workout. I'm hoping inspiration hits for dinner, but it's either going to be chicken with a vegetable or turkey burgers with a vegetable. I'm leaning towards corn.
EXERCISE:
Like I said, I did ok but not great. I didn't really push myself further. Part of it was the damn grip, but part of it was just a bad attitude.
SCHEDULE:
Dinner is the only thing that was a bit off today! I was definitely tired when I woke up this morning, but I want to give this thing a fair shake before calling it off.
LEARNED:
Doing deadlifts early definitely helped with my grip (my hands were just fresher).
I don't get 'energized' to work out when I'm angry/frustrated. It makes me shut down faster. I need to make a good playlist and charge my iPod.
Apparently soreness isn't indicative of a good workout? I need to investigate this one further.

QUESTIONS:
- is 8 or 9 hours optimal for my sleep cycles?
- is there an easy way to determine REM cycles?
- should reps per arm be equal or to exhaustion?
