7 am workouts are hard for me. I have way more energy at 4 and after a meal. But I have to get it done. I completed most of the pull ups and burpees strict due to the discomfort of any extra spinal extension. (5# deadlift felt more like 135 to me today but it was nice to get my hands on a barbell.

Nutrition was on today, paleo strict.

Catch up. Its been kind of hard to blog about the mundane recovery workouts I have been trying to get in. Almost as hard as actually doing them. I've had a list of movements that I can do without hurting myself and some days the programming is picking a few of the movements and throwing up a rep scheme.

Progress: I haven't needed anything stronger than IBU for 2 weeks. My pain has been more muscular fatigue than low back pain. I have been able to add in a few 5k runs and even got some light weight in my hands. If I can just keep the progression slow I think I will be good to go in a few more weeks.

Set backs: The nutrition has been worse than its been in at least a year for probably a month straight. There has been a lot of beer and a lot of snacking on non-paleo foods. Uncool. Energy level is low and I wake up with swollen feet and sometimes a stuffy nose. Anyone remember the crack symptoms?? I will get back on track for a while and then fall off. Im thinking when I can amp up my training it will help my nutrition motivation. For now I am going to try and get back into my paleo experimental cooking. That always helped. Sending meal pictures to paleo friends for accountability is also helpful.
