Aches and Pains

Almost 1pm Monday night/Tuesday morning. Feeling a bit tender and worn around the edges. I wasn't operating at my highest energy level during tonight's workout, either.

Not sure how much is a result of taking two times as many carbs on Sunday as I needed, or the incoming weather system, or some other source of malaise. But I still managed to get in several mini cardio sessions, two big cardio sessions, and a semi-solid weight training session... And I stayed on plan diet-wise.

It wasn't an exceptional performance, but it was a consistent one. I'll take it.

Feeling a bit indifferent about tomorrow's weigh-in. Ready to see how January went, but I'm kind of  unbothered with it to a certain degree, too.

I know I've got an incredibly long road ahead, and that above all else I've just got to be as steady as possible. It'll be good to level set, to see if I need to begin thinking about additional changes, or receive validation that my instincts so far have been correct.

Roughly seven and a half hours from now I'll know.
