Just call me Slug Girl
I don't know what has happened to all of my energy. I overslept yesterday and didn't wake up until 2:15 pm, which is OK for a work day but sort of sucks for an off day, especially since I had to be up early today for meetings. So I took two Benadryl and a Flexeril, which knocked me out by midnight, so my day was literally ten hours long yesterday. Today, I got up early, spent the first half of the day at the hospital, mostly with the meetings and housekeeping things I can only do there during the day. Then I came home and fell asleep in my chair for about three hours. I woke up and went to the gym,
I did my 10 minutes of warm up, then 45-pound bar snatches with overhead squats. These are getting easier. Then, for a change of pace, I did back squats, which I'd never tried before. I did 45-65-75-95-95-95, five reps each. Then dead lifts 95-115-115-115, all five reps. I felt like I was pulling through a vat of maple syrup. No energy. Then I did 6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of 16-pound assist gravitron dips. Then hand stands. That was it. I was completely bushed, and that's not even a particularly hard day.
Everything just feels stiff and tight, like it doesn't want to cooperate. Shoulders, back, legs, hamstrings...I'm seeing the chiropractor on Friday, which will hopefully help, but I'm hardly breathing fire with these work-outs...
I was disappointed that I had slept all afternoon because I had been hoping to kayak to the gym, as both my house and the gym are on the same body of water. But by the time I got moving it was 4 pm, and I had to go to the store too, and cook dinner, so it didn't happen.
Pleh.
