List all relevant info on each day
Day 1 10/3/03
1 pill at 4pm
Nothing really noticeable today, except maybe a little revved up feeling. I am chalking this up to placebo effect. I drank beer today. Body temp upon wakening was 98.0 F and it has been around 97.5 everyday the week before. I think my thermo is off, could be calibrated incorrectly, either way my body temp has increased.
Day 2
1 pill at 10 am upon awakening
1 pill at 6 pm prior to dinner
Woke up with a slight case of morning wood. I generally don?t wake up with morning wood anymore. Immediately after I masturbated, I had a sense of anger that I generally don?t get. Nothing else really to report, but I drank again tonight and had a bit of the chronic, which is very uncommon to me. I guess alcohol is a gateway drug because I never would have smoked that crap otherwise. This will be the last time I drink in a while.
Day 3
1 pill at 9:30 am upon awakening
1 pill at 4:15 pm, at the end of my workout
Woke up with a slight case of the morning wood. Last nights sleep was a little restless. Workout went great. Last week, I could barely do my 8 sets of 3 @ 250 on bench with 3 minutes rest between sets. This week, I blew through all the sets with under 2 minutes rest. Another odd note: Generally when I finish a set, I want to stop but I force myself to do another set. Today, after every set on every exercise, as soon as I finished my set, I was chomping at the bit to start my next set. Finally, towards the end of my workout, I crapped out and was ready to stop, but I finished anyway.
Day 4
No pills, as cycle suggests.
Had a very explosive dynamic effort day. Also, I am hot as fuck now, I tossed and turned all last night as a result of this. It took me over an hour to fall asleep once I hit the hay.
Day 5
2 pills at 9:41am upon awakening
1 pill at 5:10 pm
Day off from the gym, nothing really to report although I still feel quite hot, got pit stains at work which sucks. Also, I went to the movies with this chick and she told me I felt like a furnace.
Day 6
Body temp 98.9 F
2 pills at 9am
1 pill at 3:30pm
Workout went pretty good, but my shoulders are killing me, I am going to have to stretch way more now, but this has nothing to do with the Red Kat since I felt this way last week. I have come to the conclusion that my tendons are not getting as strong as my muscles are. I chalk this up to my taking a layoff from working out for almost 2 years. I am still working from muscle memory, but over the past 5 weeks, I have progressed to being almost where I was. Also, I had a chub that wouldn?t go away today for no particular reason, go figure. On a side note, I am fucking hot ALL the time now. I have to have the fan pointing right at me to fall asleep now. My body temp was 98.9 F in the am, but I feel like it is like 100+. I went to work today with a T-shirt and shorts on and I started to sweat my balls off by like 11am and it was only like 65 F. Took my BP at the grocery store and it was 148/80. I am never over 130/70, but I am going to guess this is probably a result of my walking over there, I will check it again next week at the same time. Regardless, I will be sticking with this dosage.
Day 7
Body temp 98.4 F
2 pills at 9 am
1 pill at
Took me over an hour and a half to go to sleep last night. Woke up with less than 6 hours sleep, but I feel fine. I am still running a higher body temp upon awakening, but I doubt it is all that significant, we will see. I have no symptoms of a cold so only time will tell if I am sick or if it is due to the Red Kat. I drank beer tonight.
