WOD

Today was Roy -


Roy
15 deadlifts (225/155)
20 box jumps (24/20)
25 pullups
5 rounds
33:59
----------------------------------
I was really worried about the 225# DL but it turned out to be really good. I felt good through all of it until the last round. I could tell I was getting fatigued so I started doing sets of 1 or 2. They still felt strong I just needed more break in-between.
Pullups were good until the last set. Box jumps were no problem like normal.
------------------------------------
Paleo is going great. I messed up and drank 3 beers on Friday. Other than that I've been strict paleo since January 2. No dairy, no processed foods, no anything other than REAL food. It's been great. I'm over the feeling bad part. I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself but I did. On Jan. 2 I weighed 199 and this weekend I was at 201. It's weird but I think I'm getting stronger and leaner. I feel incredibly good.
