Today I spent 30 minutes stretching which I needed to do! Every time I stretch I always feel so much better, yet I never really want to because I feel like it's not doing enough. I need to start thinking differently. I really need to stretch more often.

I was able to get the hip flexor stretch up to 50° and the hamstring stretch machine up to 90° w/ my knee slightly bent. I was able to get the hamstring stretch up to 70° without bending my knee. This is tremendously better than last week when 45 and 50° was a challenge with the hamstrings and only 30° with the hip flexors! My body really tightens up after leg workouts. I guess I really need to stretch more!

For my diet, I have decided to cut out all creatine for this week. One reason is because I ran out and I need to order more and the other is to cycle off of it. I have been on it for about 10 weeks now and have been taking 15-20g each day which is a pretty good amount. This way, I can recharge when more comes in. I will try to keep my strength up the best I can until then.

Here is my log for today:
