Been lifting 2-3 times a week over the last couple weeks. No updates recently due to life being fucking crazy. Between work and family obligations, I haven't had much free time. I've had to lift late at night (which is not ideal for me), but it's better than not lifting at all. Overall my body feels pretty good though, and I Feel like it's probably good to get a little bit of "rest" from things like volleyball before I head into the summer seasons for volleyball and softball.

Volleyball tonight. Body is feeling good so I anticipate playing well. My energy level during the day throughout the week has been better than it has been over the last couple months. I also fall asleep easily. This typically is not a problem for me, but I've just been sleeping well overall.

Still not weightlifting yesterday due to other obligations eating up time. Planning to do an upper body workout tonight. Work still stressful. Home life stressful due to the amount of things we have going on each day.

seems like you might benefit from some improvements to your diet. lot of junk food, lot of sugar, not many vegetables or fruits or legumes. would be interesting to see if your health improves (your immediate health, like getting sick or feeling fatigued) if you made an effort to clean it up and diversify it a bit.

i say that with no judgment: i also eat too much sugar and not enough protein. just a thought.

No offense taken at all. My diet is so bad right now and I feel like I eat dumb shit out of convenience. Last year this time, I was eating pretty clean. I felt way better and I was way more lean. Definitely going to try to work to get away from eating all the "shit" I eat again.

So yeah...going to try to clean it up. I probably need to find a way to assess my fitness too. I pretty go off of how I'm feeling when I play sports, but it's not really quantifiable. Like at least test vertical jump or something. I am not particularly concerned with how much I can lift as much as I am with how I perform functionally.

Felt like shit at volleyball last week, and I play again tonight, so I am interested to see how my legs feel with basically nothing but rest when it comes to lifting. I do feel like I have been drained by the cold, so I am hoping that since I seem like I’m on the back side of it, I will feel better when playing. But who knows. Will report back tomorrow.

Spent most of the day at kid's soccer games. Came home and played more soccer with the kids. Was relatively active throughout the day, but nothing high-stress. I slept like garbage last night for some reason.

Not sure what has been up with my body the last couple weeks, but I have not felt springy at volleyball. It could be the resumption of weightlifting, but I think it might be a combination of things. I have also had some weird psuedo-cold this week that might be draining my energy a bit. I ate like shit on my birthday which is fine since I know I won’t continue doing it. Plus, all the desserts were really good. I am more disappointed with how my body has been performing than anything else. So I need to figure that out.

Also, my sleep was trash. There is a very clear connection between consumption of alcohol and my sleep quality. Just two drinks messed with my ability to sleep well. According to Garmin, I was awake at 12:15 a.m. for a short time, from 12:46-12:50 a.m., from 1:38-1:48 a.m., a short time at 2:18 a.m., from 2:39-2:51 a.m., and a short time at 3:16 a.m. GROSS. So I am going to keep sticking with my general avoidance of alcohol.
