Back at It!

I had a crazy day today at work and was so stressed I totally forgot to eat all day...not good at all!  Of course by the time I got home it was late and I knew if I ate before training it just wouldn't happen.  I was so lazy (read: out of gas from not fueling) that I had to force myself to do my workout, but I hit the gym.  I started by Back and Bi workout only to get incredibly light headed after my first superset of chin-ups and bicep curls.  I kept my weights and reps up to par but increased my rest time between sets to get through then paid particular attention to my breathing through the rest of the workout.  My heartrate was incredibly elevated the entire workout.   I was supposed to do Abs as well, but didn't commit until I'd finished the Back & Bis and saw how I was doing.  As Monday is my weighted abs day I had a tough choice; I didn't want to skip my workout, but I knew I'd need to be careful to not end up causing myself harm.  In the end I opted to do the workout but decided to lower the weight and increase the reps and pay close attention to my heartrate and breathing.   I finished up feeling satisfied for finishing but with a crazy high heartrate and rather light headed.  I broke out the foam roller - my IT bands thanked me profusely; and then my fulcrums.  After drawing my bright pink smiley face on my calendar I can now go crash for the night...after showering, of course!
