day 3

When my alarm clock goes off today I didn’t feel like moving at all. I took a nap the previous day and my plan was that when I got up this morning my body would feel less tired but man was I wrong. After staying up until 1AM watching the basketball game last night I knew that this was going to be a struggle for me. My alarm went off at 4:30 like it usually does and today it seemed like my body was just dead. So once again I snooze it until 4:45 and then I attempt to get up so I can wash my face and start my stretching routine. While I was stretching I thought that my body would kind of loosen up so I could have some sort of energy to get to the gym and start my workout. But today was not that day. All I wanted to do is lay back down under my covers and sleep my day away. Also with the rain down pouring this morning I really did not want to walk to the gym at all and wanted to skip it entirely. But I told myself that I made a commitment to the class to push through so mentally I got myself together and told myself to get through it. As I’m leaving to walk to the gym I try to put on some music to see if it can help motivate me to get me over the emotional struggle that I am dealing with. Going through my playlist the first song I chose that I had on repeat the whole time while I was going to the gym was called blue laces by Nipsey Hussle. Arriving to the gym I thought to myself how can I get quick energy to help me get through the workout? The first thing that came to mind was drinking a monster energy drink. Never having one before I was thinking it would help me out and give me a good energy boost. So I take a couple drinks and proceed to the weight room, then about 10 minutes in my stomach starting hurting and bubbling. I’m not sure what your experiences are with energy drinks monster specifically but as for me this was one of the worst things I could of done. Maybe it was because I was drinking it on an empty stomach and I had just took creatine before my workout, I’m not really sure but what I do know is that it did the opposite of what I wanted it to do. I started sweating randomly so I tried to drink a bunch of water to try and get it diluted in my stomach. I ended up feeling better after about 30 minutes thankfully but as I learned Monster Energy Drink is not for me. I plan on going to sleep early thursday night so I can have a success story for you guys on friday!
