Thrusters,Hang power clean and SDLHP

First workout this morning: 5 Thrusters, 7 Hang power clean, 10 Sumo dead lift high pull. Rx'd was 95 lbs, as many rounds in 20 minutes you can do. I scaled this back to 45lbs (bar only) following the "puppy" work out on http://www.crossfitbrandx.com and managed 7 rounds (6.5 actually, I went over time a little bit.)

I went most of the day yesterday without eating and having only water and some coffee. I did however have a protein bar and a small yogurt after work. This mornings breakfast was oatmeal before the workout and I'm going to have some eggs after. I'll have chicken, salad and nuts along with some fruit and broccoli today. Not really weighing my food yet but seeing what will keep me not hungry and trying to avoid breads at all costs.

My legs are rubbery and my lungs were at capacity during the workout. I'll be going light all this week to make sure I don't pull any thing and try to focus on form. One thing I found helpful was downloading the exercises off the http://crossfit.com/
and loading them on to my Ipod so I can check out proper form as I workout. I had to do this with the Hang power clean this morning.

Felt good to get the first one out of the way and get back on track. 3-2-1 GO!
