What an awesome day!!!  love friday and saturday...have so much time to push myself beyond limits!
just held back at the right time or else any more workout would lead to unnecessary muscle burnout...abs feel awesome!!! :D

Tomorrow might go in for a leg workout, been 2 weeks since i've done any weights on my legs thanks to the darned hamstring injury. however bn good for a while...the pain is still there....but maybe 5% of what it was on the 1st 2-3days(was like hell then, actually maybe hell would've bn better)....anyhow enough of the sob story....a positive that came out of the injury was that i realized i havent been doin all my stretching exercises for a long time now....so voila! i started stretching and now i stretch better than 2 weeks ago :) ....Lookin forward to an exciting day tomorrow!!!
Off to bed now :)

Quote of the day: “I am personally convinced that one person can be a change catalyst, a "transformer" in any situation, any organization. Such an individual is yeast that can leaven an entire loaf. It requires vision, initiative, patience, respect, persistence, courage, and faith to be a transforming leader.” - Stephen R. Covey
