Forced Rest Day (damm....)

Well it had to happen sooner or later, today is a forced rest day. Last night I developed a mild headache around the left eye. This is usually a sign that the following day will not be so good. Well, woke up with the headache (eye-strain) and have felt terrible all day. No way could I have trained. Anyway, I've analysed this to the death today. I trained quite hard yesterday, even when my stomach felt empty. During the session I felt okay. I missed a lunch (before session) yesterday but did have a nice rice and chicken dinner (after session). I had heaps of water as per usual. What is interesting is that my weight this morning was 77.2 kg, 1 kg down from yesterday's weight of 78.2 kg. Over the last two weeks my weight has been hovering around the 78.2 to 78.4 kg mark. Prior to the two weeks ago it was higher. My thoughts on this are:-

1. Probably shouldn't have trained yesterday or at the least not trained as hard.
2. Probably my system working on reserves (if that makes sense) and at the end of the session I was near enough on empty.
3. Which means that recovery will take longer
4. Corroborated by increase in loss of weight - most likely fluids (1 kg)

I believe headaches are a symptom of dehyrdration and at the moment I've got it big time. What annoys me is that I'm pumping heaps of water into my system everyday (at least four 750 ml bottles - I'll start keeping count for interest sake). Looks like I'll be out of action again tomorrow. Until next time.
