Average Heart Rate: ???. Max Heart Rate: ???. Apparently didn't save my activity tracker after.

VERY tough to get out of bed this morning. Only 3 hours of sleep didn't help, I'm sure. Felt a bit strange at the gym, a little queasy-like. But, I pushed through and got it done! However, I did stop at one point after the mountain climbers and lateral bear crawls. I got a bit dizzy and skipped the high knees in favor of lying on the floor with my feet up the wall to get blood flow back to the brain. I've always had that problem with those two exercises. As with anything, it'll get better the more I do it. But, I jumped right back in with the in/out ladder hops! (I started the round at station 5.)
Walking was very wobbly today. Getting in and out of the truck and getting up off the couch were challenging. Hooray leg day! Tomorrow will complete the first week. Looking forward to the weekend!
