Paleo Day 9

Still hanging in there. Yesterday's WOD was Cindy. I did 12 rounds + 5 pull ups with a green band only. Last time I did Cindy, I did 10 rounds + 3 pull ups with green and purple bands, so this is a huge improvement all around. Happy :) I still have been using dumbbells instead of pushups because my elbows tend to hurt. Dan says he thinks it's maybe mild tendonitis or something. But pushups are something I need to work on. The good things is that I used dumbbells both times I did Cindy, so the comparison is accurate.

Today we did AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
5 thrusters
7 hang power cleans
10 sumo deadlift high pulls

I did 10 rounds even. So did Dad.

Heidi and Brent were giving me some good motivation this time around. With one minute left, I needed to do the 7 cleans and 10 high pulls, and it was nice to have someone motivating me to finish. Additionally, Dan and another guy both individually complimented me on my form. (The guy told me two or three times in a row that my SDHPs look good.) Dan says I've gotten WAY better since starting at CF ATL. So hurray. I just need to learn snatches and I'll be set for lifting out on my own.

Paleo still going strong. Still eating more fruit than I should. In the fall at school I NEED to stock up on kale, broccoli, and brussels sprouts, which are three of the more manageable vegetables in terms of block amounts. I'm really not looking forward to leaving my affiliate, though. Hope they don't forget who I am :/

Here is me chowing down on raspberries for dessert last night:
