WOD

I've been nursing a strained lower back muscle. It feels god now so I'm starting the workouts again.

I only did the CrossFit warm-up this a.m. as the villa's gym was unbelievably hot due to the AC being shut off.

I brought a set of Power Rings with me, so those will be incorporated into the routine.

Diet's back on track. I was about 80% complient durng my six-week break, and that coupled with nursing the lower back put me back a step. All's well now and ready to forge ahead.
