Strugglin' & Strainin'...But I'm On My Way Home

Well, my first week of semi-Paleo went okay, but could have been so much better. I'm really trying this week. It's been super hot, and I have no AC, so I haven't felt like cooking, hence a lot of eating out. (Love WHOLE FOODS!!!)

Crossfit is still going great! I wish I could go more often, and I may step it up after the wedding. Right now, I'm paying for 3 days a week, but only going 2 days most weeks. And I need to step up my cardio outside of Crossfit.

My squat for the thrusters are looking really good. I'm trying to go much lower. Steve wants me to focus on my row too, and I think me focusing on form will make my times go up, but will be better for me in the long run.

I'm focusing on drinking water this week. I've been doing pretty good, but I feel super bloated and I'm not sure why. The scale is also not moving, but I am getting stronger, so I'm trying to focus on that and not get down about it.

I'm thinking about starting Couch to 5K after the wedding. We'll see...
