When I got to the gym, I really felt like the tanks were empty. I had almost no gas to do my warmup, but I did manage to get through my weights. I took a bit extra in between sets toward the end, and had to lower my weights on my last chest exercise. In the past couple weeks, I've usually gone for a bit more cardio after my weights, but this time, I had to pass.
I'm now at day 80 and nearing the end of 12 weeks of pretty much exercising 6 days a week. I know in BFFM they recommended to take a break every 12 weeks or so. I'm kind of still committed to seeing things through until the Christmas break. I have my scheduled rest day on Saturday. I'm still going to try and get my workout in tomorrow, but if I'm really low energy again, I may have to re-evaluate and maybe take a week off. Or maybe it was just an off day and I just need to get some better sleep tonight and eat a little better tomorrow (my meals were a little off today).
Here's today's pics:

Hi Raiden, I know how you feel mate, some days are tougher than others. How's your nutrition and caloric intake? Are you re-feeding?

Thanks for the comment Adam! I think it's your first one on my blog, so it's an hounour :D
I actually am not doing carb cycling as I mentioned before since I'm going on a mini-bulk soon for strengthening and endurance rather than fat loss. I was aiming for maintenance calories this week. I think my energy level was more a result of lack of sleep. As far as nutrition, I hit my maintenance calorie level or even went above a little, but my ratio of fat content was a little more than I wanted it to be (still good fat though, coming from nuts and seeds). I was also a little off by having my pre-workout meal a little closer to my workout time than it usually is, which meant it wasn't digested enough.
