Stairway to pull up heaven

Today was a pull up ladder...I used the usual green + purple bands and got to minute 11.  Minute 10 was my goal, so this was excellent.  My next step is to cut out the purple band and eventually wean myself off of bands completely.  All in good time.  I can't wait to do unassisted kipping pull ups!

Yesterday's Linda was good.  I finished in 17:22.  The weights were too light for me, and there wasn't much I could do about it...there was a shortage of women's bars, and there were three women, so we kind of had to share.  This made my time a few minutes longer than it should have been, too.

Paleo is going pretty well.  It makes me so much more clear-headed and keeps my energy up.  Last night, I have to admit, I did have some pasta.  I had made it for my parents, and it was delicious, so no regrets there.  Tonight I'm meeting up with friends at Fellini's, which mainly serves pizza.  I am going to try and avoid that, since I don't have a pressing need for pizza, and since I can get pizza any old day of my life if I want to.  The benefits Paleo are really worth being kind of awkward at social gatherings that revolve around eating (most of them do), so I'll survive.
