Day 8 - Core Synergistics

I admit, I had a rough evening last night, but I tried to mellow myself. I took one of my textbooks to bed that was light reading and made sure to do some reading and reviewing before moving on to the next section. When I got the point where I was no longer able to comprehend what I was reading, I called it a night.

I slept pretty soundly, getting roughly eight hours of sleep. I've found that to feel at my best, I need about seven and a half to eight hours of sleep or else I feel deprived and lethargic throughout the day. For a few months, I was getting about six hours of sleep or less. Getting sick earlier this month put an end to that. I slept for most of two days and since then have been back on track with sleeping.

When my alarm went off this morning, I thought I might be crazy getting up at 5:30am to workout. I laid there for about five minutes debating. I wasn't debating getting up, but rather debating if I was going to workout this early or spend the time studying. I opted to workout since I wanted to spend the evening studying.

I had some whey protein and then waited 30 minutes before working out, giving enough to digest since whey breaks down quickly. During that time, I checked email and got most of my stuff ready for the day. When 6am hit, I was dressed in my workout clothes and getting ready to WOWY on MDB. I'll explain WOWY another time. Anyway, I pushed play and went about doing Core Synergistics (CS). I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do the whole thing, but I did. Some of the exercises were challenging to the point where I couldn't finish them, but I gave it my best. I skipped the bonus round, but I am regretting it now. I think I quit too soon. More than likely I could have done it. I'm not happy about that part. Next Thursday when I do CS I will make sure do the bonus round from that point forward so I can truly feel like I did the whole workout.

I had a good workout though and good meals to follow it up so I'm feeling really good. I feel focused today. I expect it to go well.

Overall rating for the day expected: solid 9
