Exhausted, difficulty sleeping (very difficult), resting HR was elevated. At the same time, I just wanted to sleep. Motivation to train was minimal. Appetite was low annihilated.
This was about two years ago now, so I can't remember everything, but I felt like I'd just come out of a concentration camp.
I've gone deep into prep's before and after a contest, simply ate back up for a week or so, got my BF% up above 5% and felt GREAT. Not happening this time. (When I was doing TT - or my best interpretation of it - , I was training so hard that I'd have to sleep after eating for 2-3hr sometimes in the late afternoon, which meant I'd stay up late to work, too, which probably didn't help.)
I was intentionally doing the program all out like this, in hopes of having a great over-reaching rebound, but instead, I drove the hole too deep and got lost in it.

this post explains exactly where I am at this moment. I'm ready to take this next week fairly easy and then get hard at it was fortitude training.
I've made the mistake of not taking a cruise for a significant amount of time, probably eight months or so.
I will start a log! once again Scott thank you so much for all the information!
