So this is the first day upon resetting, and trying a more “7/5/3” approach. Higher volume. All in all, not bad, but I wasn’t into it… just too much on my mind regarding work.

The more interesting thing? After set 2 of the rows, my body told me “out of gas”. My body said no more, we’re done. I wanted to do more, I wasn’t tired, wasn’t exhausted… I think I’m running low on glycogen now (it’s day 3 of “no carb”). My body was just telling me we’re almost out of gas, so you better stop now to preserve what we have. I of course kept going, but it was interesting. Heck, the walk home I was totally drag-assing it and kinda “condition white” spaced out. So yeah, I think I’m nearing the onset of ketosis. Huzzah.

In other news… it was a fun critter morning. Finally saw a skunk… and that owl was back, perched atop the house upon my return. Stopped and watched him for a bit, then he watched me and eventually flew off. I think seeing all the critters in the quiet of the morning is one of my favorite things about going to the gym in the early morning. Almost no people, but lots of cool animals. 🙂
