What a rotten Monday. First off,  didn't get enough sleep last night. Secondly when I woke up, I was bloated as hell (scale showed a 1kg weight gain from a couple days ago, effectively wiping out my progress for last week) and then after breakfast I started feeling nauseous.

Despite all this I soldiered on to the gym where I struggled badly. I barely managed to complete my squat reps and then I failed heavily on the overhead press, dropping reps in sets 3, 4 and 5. I couldn't even complete my backoff sets on the overhead without my arms giving out. Holy crap.

Anyway, I left the gym thoroughly depressed and shaking in fatigue. Also, I freaking stink and I smell it right now (sweating plus no shower for some reason yesterday, maybe laziness?)

So here I am sitting at my computer, stewing in my own stink, dripping with sweat and shaking with fatigue thinking to myself, "And tomorrow I get to weigh myself and probably be disappointed."

What a bloody mind trip.
