Day Six: A time to Reflect

Yesterday was both an uplifting and very somber day. I attended the funeral of an old neighbor, Daniel Pastirik. He passed last Sunday at the age of 53. He leaves behind two daughters - Stephanie and Amanda - and a wife of 29 years, Julie.

I got to hear a few of the stories that helped define Dan as a person. He was a person who touched others through his words as well as his actions. Within the community, he was a cherished softball coach. At 3M, he was well respected among his peers. In his family, he was a loved father, husband, brother, son and uncle.  To us all, a man who walked with a quiet strength knowing that his faith would lead the way home.


Dan, you will be missed by those you touched.

6:20AM. Once again, thanks goes out to Carl, this time for suppling the shaker cup! Had difficulty sleeping again. So we're gunna go back to the drawing board and perhaps take round three a little earlier. Overall woke up feeling a little sluggish but not really too bad. I'll check back in a few hours.

9:03AM. Stomach is starting to feel not so good. Feels acidic and upset. Going to eat something soon to see if that helps.

10:20AM. Stomach has settled down. The protein bar helped.

11:30AM. I brought the shake mix to work for lunch today. Had that and some chipotle pasta salad for lunch along with the supplements and vitamins.

4:15PM. Taking all supplements except Total Control. Need to see if I can get some decent sleep tonight. I think the TC is one of the reasons I am not sleeping well.

7:30PM. Crazy night. Too much going on. Plenty of energy ....

9:10PM. Body is tired but my mind is still going at a good pace. Feel a little sluggish. Need to get a decent amount of real sleep tonight.

6:23AM. Slept like crap last night. Seemed like I was awake every hour on the hour. Weird thing is though I was never really tired or felt drained. Still don't. Feel alert, like I've been up for a few hours already. Maybe I need to take the final round of supplements earlier? Going to repeat everything today. If lack of sleep continues, then I'll make a change.

7:30AM. Feel alert and completely awake. More focused. Thirsty. Drinking lots of water already.

2:15PM. Plenty of energy. Hungry again. Still focused.

5:15PM.  Took last round of supplements/vitamins w/ Healthy Meal Shake @ 4:30PM. Just finishing dinner (a couple fish sticks, corn and a chipotle pasta salad). Energy level has remained even all day. Energy level isn't so high I can't sit still or causing my mind to race. More of a focused steady level of energy that has lasted throughout the day thus far.

5:30PM. Off to the alley.

9:38PM. Back from bowling. Actually tired. Let's hope for a decent night sleep.

Summary  
After taking the first round of supplements/vitamins I was wide awake within about 20 minutes. I did feel much better today compared to other days in the past. After taking all the supplements, I felt more energetic, focused and aware.

The best part of it was there was no let down, no feeling like crap afterwards. The energy and healthy feeling was consistent all day long ... and I've still got enough energy to burn right now at 9:30PM!

Can't wait to see what tomorrow will feel like with HERBALIFE already in my system!!
