Still really sore in the quads and traps after yesterday... so I started my training off with a mega jacuzz sesh with the jets pumping straight onto my shoulders. It was amazing. It started raining on me but nobody cared. It was glorious.

They were still sore, but after I got warmed up, I honestly completely forgot about any such DOMS.

Again, Hive account@steemmatt's challenge got me up and moving with enthusiasm... excited to do 10,000 reps of things. Steem has been a boon and a curse. It's got me up and moving more than I might have otherwise, but it's also cut short my training because I wanted to pump out a post and get to bed... this fitness challenge however has had me excited to extend complete my full workouts and not cut any corners.

So that's super exciting.

Worked again on the Titan Trial thingo... I'm going to have to start my application soon. The sooner the better with these things because it gives the casting peeps time to request more information, or more video or whatever to full flesh out your application. It'll be due in a month tomorrow... but I'm away all next week for work.

I don't really feel like my plank is good enough yet... but everything else I'm pretty solid on. So I might just keep working on the plank next week and then get my application done next weekend.

When you research Titan Games this comes up. The whole show is probably based on this gif. Dwayne is the host after all.

Also, got back on my diet today... and instantly felt better and more sporty. Boooo to carbs is all I'm going to say about that.

Planning is everything I feel. I hadn't planned anything yesterday and so my exercises felt late and rushed and we ended up going out for dinner because we were both too starving to prepare dinner properly. I'm really finding that I need to set times to do things, and then actually do the things at that time. It's the only way to fit everything in.
