Today was a very sad day in our home.  We brought our first-born to the airport to take off to begin his college career.  I'm very excited for him, but seeing him fly away was one of the hardest views I've ever had to endure.  When we got home, one less in the house, I was the most unmotivated to do anything ever...  I texted with family and friends, watched some TV, etc. Finally, I got tired of feeling like a blah, and decided to throw myself into a workout to get my mind clear for a while.  Worked like a charm!

Today was a resistance day so I went with Core Synergistics.  Body weight moves mostly, but got a great burn.  All the moves were solid, but the moves that I was happy to improve on were Prison Cell Push Ups, and Plank to Chataranga Run.  The push up move, I was never able to do more than 10 reps, but today, I pumped out 12. And I was never able to finish the run move without a break.  Today, I blew it out of the water.  The big difference was that I was actually holding myself up instead of just propping myself up on the low run.  Distance to the ground was the same, but I wasn't putting full weight down. I got a huge burn today, but not so much a pump. But the endorphins were flowing and I didn't feel down after my workout!  I just took my time and did each move fully.  My glutes and hamstrings were quite sore today, but after getting started, I felt really good.  My core got a serious workout today.  So much so that I considered not doing an abs workout today.

But in the end, I had the time, so why not go for the whole pie!  I ended up dong 0-6 abs L14.  But the groaning and shouting.  My core and abs were really tired, so with L14, the groaning started from the end of set three.  But I also upped my rep count to 20, up from 18.  Huge BURN!

The Splits were really good. Getting low to the mark was much faster than usual. The Flow was as usual, too. Smooth and clean.

In the end, I torched a big 1080+kcals.  Exercise, the best medicine for acute depression.  I'm feeling so much better... but still sad.
