A Workout Update and Positive Diet feedback

Monday and Tuesday did not make anything look too promising this week. At least today slightly made up for them.
Monday:
Strength Training
No Crossfit
Max 1RM Deadleft: 365
- I tried 385 before this, got it off the ground but could not complete the lift. Had I tried again or just dropped 10 pounds it may have been successful. I just needed to get a number up there, nothing would be worse than expending all my energy then have to drop a bunch of weight off!

Tuesday
Max 1RM Shoulder Press: 125
- This is way lower than I would like it to be, by the new year I would like to see it at at least 145. Overhead movements are my greatest weakness though.
Grace: 5:42
- I chose Grace because I feel that it is comprised of a movement which I am not very skilled at yet. There is much room for improvement, and is a high weight, quick workout. (Contrast of Angie)
Instead of Strength Training Tuesday I played a high intensity game of dodgeball.

Wednesday
3x Crossfit Workouts
1 body weight deadlift (205) every 10 seconds for 10 minutes
- No Problems here, just some irritation from grinding my shins.
10 Over Head Squat
10 Burpee Box Jumps
AMRAP 15 minutes
- This one came down to a lack of strength on the OHS. It was one of the more painful workouts I have done in a while. I ended up doing 8 rounds completely.
TABATA: Air Squat, Push Up, Sit up, Donkey Kicks
- scored a 431 fatigue diminished quickly after. nothing to seriously note here... it just sucked
-Darren (roomie, workout buddy) scored  360 (?) on his first tabata effort :)


DIET:
So far I am feeling great, Monday and Tuesday felt sluggish. I really felt like a was going through a detox stage, but with how quickly I was able to recover from my 3 Crossfit workouts today, I feel like I am over that hump. I have been strict zoning since my binge drinking on Saturday night. I have noticed some shrinkage in my gut through the last week. I have bee feeling severely dehydrated all the time though. I have been drinking plenty of water. Hopefully I will start being able to keep hydrated.

So far, So good. I'll keep ya posted :)
