2 days into the zone....

So.. I am two days into the zone, and into training.
Days are going to be a combination of both crossfit workouts and strength training workouts.
Strength Training is mainly to assist in my overhead movements. Focusing on shoulders, back, core, chest. Small focus on biceps, triceps and the like.

 Workouts:

Morning:
25 Wall Balls
20 Box Jumps
15 Knees to Elbows
4 Rds.
Evening:
15 Push Press
25 Kb Swings
Night:
Strength Training

After my morning workout my legs were fatigued, but only briefly. They recovered shortly after the workout.

My afternoon workout left my shoulders and arms fatigued for an extended period of time. This was especially noticed during my night workout.

The night workout was just salt on the wound. Not a big factor in overall soreness and fatigue. We will see though, how it feels in the morning.

Diet:
So far it has been going well. I am already a little bored of broccoli and lettuce, but they are fillers. I am trying to find another source of fat blocks to substitute almonds. Not completely, but to get a broader spectrum of foods. I am constantly feeling hungry and dehydrated, but this may be due to it being the first few days of a diet. I did not eat enough blocks yesterday, but the amount has been bumped up today.
I felt drowzy and fatigued around 3:00 so I took a nap.  Not sure as to why I felt this way, but it was not uncommon before the diet.
I will be implementing more cardio work into my regiment gradually to see the Zone's effects on it.

I am looking for some suggestions as to two bench mark workouts and two one rep max lifts to check against later during the diet. Anything will be considered and appreciated.
