Training Day Four Hundred Fifty Eight

Heavy... that's how I'm feeling right now, and with good reason. The scale is showing a higher number than it usually does, and the veins are hiding deeper than ever. However, there's good in all the bad. Right now, I'm also feeling less mental exhaustion that I usually do. I'm also having more time for work related matters, and, I'm more stress tolerant. I believe that aspects like these are less likely to be written about in magazines when probing for the things that make you successful during a diet. Then again, perhaps I am just making excuses for the fact that I'm getting "big-boned"?

# Workout Notes:
Big-boned or not, the workouts feel pretty good. I'm in no way a heavy lifter or doing anything extraordinary, but I go through each session with a fresh mind. It's amazing to see how physical and mental exhaustion can actually be so completely unrelated at times. Let's keep on moving forward and through this phase of life!
