I had the best night of sleep I have had in a long time. In bed at 8:30P and although I woke several times during the night I was able to go back to sleep. Got up at 5A. That is 8 1/2 hours and that is good.

At Crossfit at 6A. Kelly, Eric, David, Matt, Tomas with Brian and Jerry coaching.

It’s Kelly’s birthday so we got to celebrate with Happy Burpees. I really hate Burpees. When we started these this morning I did not use my box (that is my little modification so I don’t have to go all the way down to the floor). My hips were screaming. We are not talking about being tired, we are talking about old fashioned pain. After the first set I did start using the box. If I had not done that I would still be there trying to get them done.

I did prove that you get better as you get more tired with the thrusters. Starting with set 6 the thrusters did not necessarily get easier but my form got better.

I was surprised when it was all over. I find that I really do not have any idea what the rest of the class is doing during the workouts. I am too focused on staying alive. I was sure my performance was going to be really lousy compared to the rest of the class but I did OK. My form sucked on the burpees but I kept going and moving.

Changing my eating plan today, going low carb. I have to get something going in order to meet my April weight goal.

I got 100 dips done today bringing my total to 2000. I don’t see that I can get the remaining 1000 done. There is no class on Saturday so that leaves 4 more days. I would have to get 250 done for the next 4 days. I am having trouble getting 100-150 done with the level of work we are doing during the WOD’s. I won’t stop but the goal is starting to look out of reach.

What is a baby boomer?
People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.
