Clothes are either fitting better or

Yeah - so some of my clothes now seem like sacks...
It's a problem being slightly big for "L" sized shirts and yest "XL" look like sacks

Why? well my weight is now 93.4kg - over 5.5 kgs now since 6th Jan

Exercise needs to increase now.  Did a Crossfit comp in the weekend and felt a bit sore the next day.  More met-con and more shoulder/chest and back strength work.

Also need to see how Wall Balls and Thrusters are going to feel

The next week

Well my weight is now 94.3 - A week ago (the 6th) it was 99, and of course on my last post it was 96

All things considered The Paleo Way is working for me

I'm back on the exercise treadmill (so to speak) and getting some of those skills back...

Double Unders - getting there - I can string 10-12 now, just not consistently
Bar Hang - to improve grip strength is coming along
Leg strength is proving difficult, as cycling is the current plan

To do:
1. HSPU
2. CTB
3. Rope Climb
4. Snatch
5. C&J
6. TTB

Wow - nearly two years...

OK - so it's not good news on a lot of fronts...
1. current weight 96.0kgs
2. Bad knee - cartilage knee fissures, in other words when I squat deep it hurts (swells)
3. Uric Acid in the blood - now on daily allupurinol to keep this down - seems to be working

As far as Crossfit is concerned I have been on a break while I try to get my body worked out.  However I do have enough kit in my garage now to do strength and cardio stuff

The 2015 Open was a great event for me, but I was too heavy, and the final 15.5 Thrusters really hammered my knee and bought all the health issues to the fore.

Managed to break through on Muscle Ups - did 9 in The Open wod

OK - so what now...

A. Paleo - the Pete Evans way
B. Strength and Met Conditioning
C. Learn to run in the "Natural"method (or Pose depending on your definition)
D. Get weight back to where it was at the end of 2013 i.e. 88/89kgs
E. Do the 2016 Crossfit Open
