3 rounds:
200 m run
25 back extensions
25 ab mat situps

Pros: I have never done 25 back extensions, let alone 3 rounds.

Cons: Everything else.

The first round of running was fabulous, but by the time I finished the back extensions I wanted to die. It was killing me. I wish I had hustled harder on round 2 and 3, but in the moment, the pain was just too much. My back was really burning. Live and learn, I guess. After the WOD, I had to row 1000m for time (which, incidentally, I didn't write down the time, and I know I went as slow as possible because my back was KILLING me). I kept standing up to stretch my back out. I also was given the assignment of 50 burpees, because I just didn't capture the "intensity" that Shain wanted. I only had time to do 15, but I am going to yoga early today to do the rest.

Danny and I, even on the Zone, ate out WAY too much last month. This month, we are cutting down on sushi to once a week, and that is our ONE dining out a week. I made lasagna again this weekend, and this morning, I threw salmon in the fridge to defrost with a bit of olive oil, soy sauce, and white wine. I have no idea if that will be good for a marinade, but I will brush it with mustard and soy sauce before I cook it.

I went to the endrocrinologist again today. I'm still not regulated, and I'm really frustrated. All I can do is eat right and work out. But, it's disheartening. It's not as if I'm doing anything to screw up my thyroid, that is on it's own, but...my body drives me crazy.

I also saw my infertility specialist. I told her how I had been pondering Paleo, and she said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I guess the Zone is better for PCOS. I'm really going to bust my butt the next few months. It's hard when I get so emotional, between exhaustion, medical issues, and everything else. She said I need to be nicer to myself. That made me cry. LOL. Surprise.
