I'm getting butterflies

Wendler Squat

Could have gone for ten but went to low on the 10th rep, ass was on the floor low!

Pushpress
2(40)-2(45)-2(50)-2(55)-2(57.5)-2(60)

Metcon
For time: (at the top of each minute perform 4 Burpees)
4 Burpees

20 Push Ups
20 OHS 40kg
20 Pullups

20 Sit Ups

Was good to get the butterflies in two sets as I've been having difficulty with getting rythm. All in the hips!

Paleo Challenge

For a month from today I am going to eat 100% paleo.
 
Hopefully this will get results, after I just spent £50 on my weekly shop. And I am sure to spend more later in the week.

I'm not going to 'zone' though, I understand that its the advised diet amongst the crossfit community, but a lot of people say its just a clever way of calorie counting and I agree with them. Emphasis on quality first!

My meal plan looks roughly like this:

Meal 1 - Bacon, Eggs, Blueberries and Milk
Meal 2 - Banana, Pear and Boiled Eggs
Meal 3 - Chicken Avocado Salad/Chilli/Vegetable Soup
Meal 4 - Fruit or PWO Meal (Blueberries, Milk)
Meal 5 - Roast veggies with chicken/bolgnese/chicken sweet potatoe and broccili/roast beef and veggies/ratatouie (maybe spelt wrong)

Updates to come...

First Post & "Nancy"

5 Rounds for time: 14m33s
400m Run
15 OHSquats 42.5kg
- All unbroken apart from the last set, shoulders just involuntarily gave way.

CnJ technique (avoiding bashing the bar on my thighs and looking at jumping into the movement a lot more)
Mobility work (hip flexors and lower back)

Probably one of the best and most filling/balanced post workout meals I've ever had.
1 scoop of basic whey
500ml full milk
1/2 Punnet of blueberries
2 tsp of fish oils

Now time for some meat...
