17 January

Very tired this morning for some reason. Had the alarm set for 5:30 but couldn't force myself to get up till 7. Wasn't in bed that late last night either (10:30 at the latest) but I did get woken up a few times during the night. Hopefully I'll be able to pull myself together for weights at lunchtime.

Exercise:
TFS
Weights - Deadlifts (58kg), Situps (24.5kg). 3 sets of 10 each. Should have been 5 sets but I couldn't do it.

Food:
Meal 1 (0700): Shake
Meal 2 (1015): Spaghetti with TVP, spinach and tomato sauce
Meal 3 (1300): Shake
Meal 4 (1500): Spaghetti with TVP, spinach and tomato sauce
Snack (1600): Yoghurt + jam
Meal 5 (1800): Shake
Meal 6 (2030): 2 bean, cottage cheese and spinach tortillas

After today's effort I think I'll have to re-think my program a bit. I was really pushing to get to 10 reps on all 3 sets (of each exercise) that I could complete. Part of the problem is that my grip and lower back aren't used to the weight, so the higher reps really knock em around. The weight is 65% 1RM, which is just right for 5x10 for upper body. Lower body just can't handle it though, so I think I'll stick with 3x10 for the rest of the program. Bit dissappointed, but it's not like I held back atleast.
