Energy level for today’s workout really just wasn’t there … got it done, but that was really about it. I think some good reflection on this is to first look at the importance of recording your workouts! If we don’t write our workouts down in some form, we’re not really able to look back and really even realize that we had a sub-par workout. Second, we can ask ourselves why - was it too little sleep, improper nutrition, dehydration, etc. I think in this case for myself it was likely a combination - but my daily routine wasn’t really that different. If anything, I didn’t have my normal pre-workout energy drink! So in the future I need to A.) have my energy drink or B.) ween myself off of them because I’m really becoming depended on them to a degree.
