Day one

Sleep
I have not been sleeping well and last night was more of the same.  I was having a very vivid dream that left me feeling like I wasn't sleeping at all.  Then I had to use the bathroom and could not get back to sleep.  I was definitely up before 6am not sure how long.


Supplements
I haven't taken the iodine in about 6 days...I need to get back to that this week.  I'm not sure if it is helping but I think tracking while Im taking it will be helpful.  I took the magnesium last night.  No stomach issues this morning so that is good news.  Need to get back to the pro-biotic as well.

Workouts
I have not been very consistent with my workouts recently.  For most of the summer I averaged 2 workouts per week.  My goal is to get to 3 crossfit workouts and 2 walking/interval sessions per week. Last week I got 2 crossfit workouts and 2 walking workouts in so that's a pretty good start.  Today we did the Lurong Challenge WOD 1: 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 of Wall Balls (12#), Deadlifts (75#), Box Jumps (16 in.) with an 18 min time cap.  I finished in 14:17, I modified the wall balls towards the end because my started to seize up.  We'll do this one again in a few weeks so I can see if I improve.


Food (not calories just kinds of food)
Been eating out quite a bit lately including lots of treats...need to get back to cooking as I am kind of missing the veggies.  So weird that I need veggies, I almost crave them sometimes.

Feelings (body & mind)
Today I feel lethargic, like I need to sleep for 2-3 more hours.  My tooth hurts and it is causing my head and neck to hurt a bit.  My neck is also slightly stiff...I've been trying to find a good pillow but I have not been successful.

Weight (occasionally...don't want to focus on this)
180.0 this morning
 
Measurements ( more than weight but still only occasionally)
will take these later in the week

Keeping track of EVERYTHING

As I get older and my body starts to do little acts of rebellion.  There are soooooooo many variables that affect our health and wellness that it is impossible to make sense of the things that are having an effect without keeping track of what I'm doing and how I feel.  With that in mind it is my goal to keep track of

I considered doing a paper journal, but considering how much time I spend online, this might be easier to keep up with...
