Welcome to my fitness log

I've created this to keep everything to do with my fitness journey in one place for easy reference.
I've listed links to places I visit regularly or places I think are interesting or valuable resources.

I started doing Crossfit September 22nd 2009 and I loved it - it's totally awesome and it made me a better person in so many different ways!

After nearly 4 years of Crossfit and wrist injury I tried a home fitness DVD for a change and something new - Rip 60 was really great and then I found Beachbody / Tony Horton's P90X!
It's THE best home fitness program ever!!!
It changed my body in so many amazing ways and got my cardio fitness, my core and overall strength including push up strength better than ever before!!

I now do many Beachbody programs as they are all so great.
I 'm a big Tony Horton fan because he makes me work hard but makes me laugh at the same time.
After I completed P90X, I did P90X3, P90X2 and some P90X+. I''ve tried other Beachbody programs including the P90, Piyo, Focus T25,
21 Day Fix Extreme, Country Heat, BodyBeast and Insanity, The Aslyum 1 and 2. Completed 21 Day Fix and 22 Min hard Core.

Did some Insanity Max 30 and Core de Force but my knees can't handle jumping every day so I have to mix them in.
Shift shop is great and looking forward to the new 80 Day obsession.

I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life and still getting stronger every day!

Full x 1-2-3 failed last rep so only 2-1-3 and failed 3rd rep again = Total of 8 full push ups in a session - NEW PR - Still can’t manage 3 consecutive push ups yet but still hoorah for some progress no matter how small!

Completed 1 Rnd + 400m + 10 pull ups in 10 mins
then finished the round untimed.

1st round of chin were unbroken in as much as as hands didn’t come off the bar, but did take a few breaths inbetween reps = PR, 2nd round was broken 5-4-1

Stretch and foam roller

Recovery has been slow this last 2 weeks, diet changes of note - oats, nuts and fruit for breakfast instead of toast and maralade with protein shake and other meals more fish than meat. Also cooking in coconut oil instead of olive oil.
I lacked sleep a few nights but cought and still noticed recovery is slow??? 
I've been trying to reduce protein shakes and get all protein from food - my protein intake is down from 100-130 non workout days with extra 30 protein in postwork out shake on workout days down to 80-100 non workout days with extra 30 protein in postwork out shake on workout days.

Anything glaringly obvious to be the cause please??
