I'm not really tired whilst writing this; however I was after my workout on Friday. I have decided to stray from crossfit for a bit and work on designing my own workouts, as that is what I will be doing for a living. I still like some of crossfits principles though, which I am doing my best to apply to my designs. I am looking to do, as an example, mon, wed and fri resistence circuit training, while tues and thurs I can do cardio either by sprints: 200's-800's, swimming, or elliptical (which I probably won't do much as its ridiculously boring), I can also include some Parkour warm ups that I was watching on the crossfit page actually, not the parkour.
So my workout friday, I completed two rounds of:
20 x and 15x:
Prisoner squats (body weight squats)
Pull ups
handstand push ups substitutions (sitting on the floor using the bar)
21's (which i just did 20)
Dips (couldn't complete second round)
The dips were rough. The whole workout was rough. I almost threw up again. I had to lay down on the bench in the changing rooms and when I got home, passed out on the couch. I'm not sure if I'm dehydrating myself or trying to put too much in there for me, so when I do this workout or another work out like it, I'm going to try and do 3 rounds of 15, 12, 10 or something like that. I can't just jump in with the higher reps as my body can't really handle it too well right now. Plus, I need to start seeing how these workouts I'm designing are going, so when a client asks me to come up with something for them, I'm not doing something that's way to ridiculous.
Anyway...positive news: Kipping pullups are getting much much better and that makes me very happy. I was able to get 7 of them in a row, and while not 100% perfect, the improvement is definitely there. The main reason I couldn't do anymore after that is my hands were slipping on the pull up bar.
Not related to the workout directly; handstands. I held a handstand without aid of the wall for 5 seconds. When attempting a handstand not anywhere near a wall I will now slowly fall all the way over instead of quickly; my stabalization is getting better! Push ups are still rough for me, but I haven't really been working on hand stand push ups as much as actually trying to do a handstand without using any support.

The fatigue and sick feeling you get from your workouts could be and probably is directly related to diet.
