8-18-17 (Friday) HY: Arm Shaper + Tennis + TCF.

Well, today was almost like the past few days, but my lazy time was about half of what it was the past few days.  And the tennis time was an hour earlier than other days this week.  Plus, we only have time for one hour.  But I am getting ahead of myself.

In the early afternoon, I wanted to get my Arm Shaper task done, so I did it.  It was a lot shorter than yesterday so it was easier in that sense.  But I still got a good burn.  Not necessarily from the moves, but from the extra flexing I did to activate the target muscles.  Since it was only a 5 minute routine with 6 moves with only 8-10 reps, I knew I had to put a little extra UMPHH!! into it.  I got my burn.  Also, on the negative Push-Ups, I didn't go all the way to the ground, but held it low before pushing up.  Also, it was supposed to be a weight-free routine, but I used 2kg dumbbells, and that was a burner addition.

I really regret playing tennis yesterday at the gym.  Not because of the club, but rather, because of the surface.  Moving from a slow surface to a super fast surface and then back to a slow surface just totally messed my timing up.  My timing was right on on Wednesday, and today, I just couldn't get that timing back.  Especially on my backhand.  We had only an hour to play, but for most of the time I was spraying balls out and into the net.  To be fair, there were a few shots in which I made good contact, but 90% of the session was full of frustration.  The Flow series at the end of the day didn't do much to calm me down, either.  Two days before the tournament and I am messed up.

In the end, I torched just under 900kcals.  I'm glad it is the weekend, but I am filled with several negative feelings.
