Felt good playing volleyball last night. Bounce is back in my legs. Today will mostly be a rest day. Playing golf tomorrow and other family obligations will take up almost all of Saturday. Back at it with lifting/exercise on Sunday.

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.

Somehow my weight has dropped a couple pounds over the last few days. Seems to point to water weight being lost, but I am staying pretty well-hydrated. Either way, between what I’ve been eating, daily activity, and the amount of sleep I’m getting, I’m feeling pretty good.

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.

Body status: I feel good. I got plenty of quality sleep after having a really bad night of sleep Saturday night into Sunday. I only really played golf this weekend, so that was the only real form of physical activity that I had. I stood most of the night at a concert, but that’s not exactly exercise.

Breakfast: 4 strips of bacon, deviled egg
Lunch: Baked ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, 3 ham/dill pickle roll ups
Dinner: 2 slices of meat lovers pizza

Easter is going to be my last day of eating garbage as often as I currently do. I still don’t plan on counting calories or anything like that. If my wife makes something for dinner (which is rarely extremely healthy), I’m going to eat it. And if I need a snack of some sort outside of a meal, it will only be fruit, vegetable or a source of lean protein. I also need to force myself to hit the weights more regularly and do some other physical activity. It feels like a bad excuse, but work has been stressful lately which has possibly led to me making bad eating decisions and being lazy when I get home. But they are conscious decisions, so there’s really no excuse for them.

Other physical activity: 5 games 6v6 volleyball

Body status: Fucked from drinking two beers after volleyball. I felt way better playing volleyball. This is most likely because I was sick last week and didn’t really think so, and I seem to be getting over it now. But I had very poor sleep quality last night. Overall I really feel okay today, but not optimal due to alcohol consumption.

No drinking tonight or possibly the entire weekend to get back on track. Possible lifting tonight since my body feels better. Playing golf tomorrow. Alcohol is alright in the moment but the aftermath is awful even if you’re not feeling “hungover”.

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.

Cleaned out the garage. Minor cold is annoying. Took kids to the park and played pickleball with them which is not much of a workout. Disappointed that I did not lift Saturday or Sunday, but finding time for everything is difficult right now.

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.

Pretty low key day due to having to visit my mom in the hospital and taking the family out to dinner for birthday stuff we didn’t do on the day of my birthday. My sleep/body battery are technically for today, not yesterday. It is interesting how 6h44m of sleep led to both a better sleep score and body battery recharge compared to more sleep the day before but alcohol consumed before bed.
