Workout: 1100 yds swim
weight: ?

Went to the gym this morning and swam.  Alternated 100yds breast / 100yds crawl.  It was enjoyable - I'm definitely getting faster and more fluid with my crawl stroke.  I did 100yds backstroke (frog style) as a cool down, which is so relaxing.

I had a small square of ghiradelli dark chocolate yesterday.  Before I bought it I looked at the ingredients and soy was bolded.  I figured it wouldn't be an issue.  But I did not sleep well again last night.  And when I say that, I mean I sleep most of the night, but I can tell when I wake up (at 4:45 for no reason) that it was a restful sleep.  Hard to describe, but I feel it in my eyes.  Other than chocolate the only other thing that I ate that could perhaps be questioned was a corn tortilla.  But I don't think that should be an issue.  

My neck is also achier than it has been in the last couple of days.

Today I had half of a Corner Bakery salad with minimal dressing.  The salad itself is fine - chopped salad: greens, bacon, bleu cheese, avocado, tomato.  From what I read online, all of their salad dressings are GF, so hopefully (fingers crossed) i won't have a sleeping issue tonight.  Hoping that whatever I had yesterday was not enough to have to work out of my system over several days.

Not to be contradictory to your deductions, but corn causes a lot of trouble for me like that. I get the achy joints from it and often times it will make me fatigued and sometimes I even get acid reflux from it. I was eating it as a replacement for gluten and found I had to give it up too. Glad that before that you were feeling better.
