Feeling better today as far as the heart burn. I controlled my eating much better yesterday. I just need to make that happen everyday.

Was only able to sleep 3 hours, 10P to 1A. Still no idea what is causing this. I feel fine as far as body aches that usually keep me awake. Actually, I have not felt this good for quite a while. My only problem right now is that I am exhausted.

At Crossfit at 6A. Tom was there with Brian and Jerry coaching.

I found this WOD to be brutal. I think my lack of sleep really impacted my performance. I was able to keep going but my lunge form really sucked by the end and my burpees turned into a modified mess of body parts moving independent of each other. My legs were screaming for mercy. Something about this combination of moves really hit me hard. In this situation I really was not in danger of hurting myself because of poor form so I just kept going, trying to control the body parts I could and letting the others flop where they might. At least I was moving. Oh, and there were those kind words of encouragement from Jerry as I completed each step…that always helps.
