CrossFit at 6AM. Cold but still no more snow.

Not real productive prior to class. Did get some light deadlifts in.

The ring holds on the big rings went OK. I was able to get up in the hold position but I have to get a better lock out with my elbows. Also, my neck is slipping down into my shoulders, like a turtle, and I need to correct that. I feels good to be successful with the ring holds.

The WOD was a challenge with the thrusters. Getting a deep, fast and consecutive squat as part of the thruster is just not happening for me so my thrusters are really a mini squat push press. Swings were good and I did box steps rather than hops or jumps. My heels and ankles are actually starting to ease up a bit and I am not going to do anything to set them off if I can help it.

Eating—On track. Still holding at 242.

What hurts today—Feeling good, just a bit of soreness in my right ankle/heel. I have had a headache since yesterday afternoon. When I started back on Paleo on 1-4 I had headaches for about a week then they stopped until yesterday. No clue where these are coming from.
