night shiftin'

well, it's tough. working out at night. sleeping is the hardest. peeing frequently is worst.

so, i tried for two straight nights to hit the gym around seven in the evening. i'm not really new to this time except that i haven't been doing that for quite sometime now. it's crazy, tell ya that. too much crowd slash poseurs all over. there are a few strong mofos and select serious lifters. other than that, i couldn't care less what the others are doing.

the cardio area is really full. you'd be lucky to get a slot with them machines.. even the hard-to-use-ones-cos-they're-exhausting-to-do are all jammed packed as well.

there's a lot of consideration when working out at this time.. drinking or popping pre-workout cocktail is definitely a no-no when you have to sleep early cos you need to wake up early... for two straight nights i had trouble sleeping cos i had too much caffeine.. a key ingredient in my pre-workout drink (jack3d). last night i had to sip some brandy to calm my nerves cos the jitter is unbearable.

no caffeine usually means a less than stellar workout especially at these hours as my body is used to relaxing and well, for eons, it means downhill after office hours for me.

that's one of the big reason why i need to hit the gym during the day.

i don't really mind the time.. what's important is i get my behind in there.. the predicament comes in later.. like it's so sleepy driving home and when you wanna sleep, you can't.

when i workout, i usually consume a gallon of water rather easily. i try to shave off that amount of water in the evening but, boy, i'm still peeing like a faucet at night.. i'm seriously thinking about getting an adult diaper so i can sleep like a baby!

guess i'm gonna have to solder on for a few more days.. weeks or months.. we'll see how this goes.

on the bright side, there's plentiful of eye-candy during these times.. when most people are off from work. i just wish i didn't have to wake-up at five in the morning to prep for my food for the day, bringing Neil to school and my arse, off to work... haaaaahhh... i gotta win some lotto jackpot somehow so i could live like a king!

then, i can workout at night 'til i drop, sleep like a log later (or party if i can't sleep yet), and wake up the next day when i wanna. how's that for a life, yeah?

dream big, right?

being lazy is a bad idea though.

bad vibes envelopes the house these days... i hope for 'em to go away.. soon.
