2k, schmoo kay

Well I didn't hit the 245# I was gunning for.  I definitely could have gone heavier, but not much more.  I was really light headed and hungry.  My back didn't hurt at all, but was weak and got tired fast.  I didn't want to push to the point where I was going to round even slightly. 

Deadlift 3-3-3
165-185-205#
Then 21-15-9
Kettlebell Swings 16kg
Burpees
4:20

Shoulders were tired!!! Should have pushed harder in my burpees.  I need to get used to being uncomfortable and then push through it. 

Tonight was 2k row night.  Oh man, about 300m in I was thinking, "why did I do this?"  made the remaining 1700m really long.  I learned some new techniques to rowing, to use my legs more and work on my return.  I don't know what my 2k time was previously, all I have written down is PR back in June(?).  Jenna thinks sub 8min so my 8:05.9(?) tonight disappointing.

Here we go....

Today's marks the first day of a new diet experiment.  Well not entirely new, but kinda.  Lets do a little back tracking.  On my dieting/lifestyle changes in around October 2009 after attending CF Nutrition cert with Robb Wolf.  I decided to give Paleo a serious go.  Everyone had a blog talking about all these great changes upon going Paleo, weight loss, feeling great, performing well, the world becoming a new a brighter world. Well I quite frankly didn't really have any of that.  I didn't really lose any weight.  Performance did well, but I had never plateaued, so was it diet or just getting better at CF?  I will say I think it did help with my recovery and soreness, but other than that I didn't FEEL any different.  Other then when I cheated, then, then I paid a mighty price...but only sometimes.  My stomach became bipolar.  One day good eating 'good', another bad while eating 'good'.  And both of the opposites there too....

This was AWESOME!

I tried the intro to trapeze a few weeks ago, but his was a lot more intense! I went to an aerial fabric dancing workshop. This was very challenging but a lot of fun. Especially because have a problem with being up high (I wouldn't say I am afraid of heights- I just happen to panic when I notice I am up high that's all). I don't think I would have been able to do this had I not gone climbing/bouldering a few weeks ago and got a little more comfortable with my strength and trusting myself.  Also I officially climbed the rope at the gym for the first time the day before, again the up high thing.  So the first picture I am doing the 'gazelle' (?)oh  I wish I had pointed my toes.  The next pictures I don't know what the moves were called but I got to do a drop.  You get your legs wrapped in the fabric (the diaper- wow uncomfortable- you can see my butt being squished), and you have to pull yourself up, pull your legs through, cross and pull legs through again....
