Today, for the first time since my first few days of working out, I am sore. Yesterday's chest/triceps/shoulders workout included a few more sets than usual, and some exercises I haven't done in a long time, so that's led to a little soreness today.
The fatigue is more a result of very little sleep -- about five hours' worth. Netflix and I spent a little too much quality time together last night. You know how it is, you start a series, an episode ends on a cliffhanger, you go to the next one, which ends on another cliffhanger, and before you know it, it's 2 o'clock in the morning!
That's one of the things I need to change -- getting more sleep. So far I've done okay with the working out and diet, but I still don't get enough sleep, so that'll be my next target, more sleep.
Along those lines, I'll be making this short and sweet so I can get some more sleep tonight!

This same exact thing happened to me on Thursday night. Got to the second to last episode of House of Cards, and at the end, decided I needed to finish the season. Stupid compelling television.
ReplyDeleteFor the soreness, consider taking Fish Oil. All the fish made a huge difference during the Rock challenge.
Keep up the good work!

Mark! Wow, I have to admit to being blown away that you've read my blog, and commented. That's kinda like having a Regular Guy Workout Rock Star commenting! I rarely am surprised by much in life (I work as a daily newspaper editor, so I've seen about everything), but seeing your comment really, really shocked me! Thanks so much for stopping in.
DeleteYeah, House of Cards did that to me -- I lost a LOT of sleep the weekend after that was released. This time, though, it was Dare Devil. Not sure if that one measures up to House of Cards, but hey, my entertainment palate isn't exactly what one might consider sophisticated.
Thanks for the tip on the fish oil, I may give that a try. I haven't yet incorporated any fish in my diet yet, but next week I plan to start adding some.
I gotta say, I was amazed that you were able to get through The Rock workout for 30 days. That would kill me first day out (both the workout and the cod). I enjoyed reading your blog.
Thanks again for stopping in and commenting!
