This morning I got up for CrossFit and started to get ready. But I decided that I just didn't want to go and crawled back into bed. But then I laid there feeling guilty and hating myself. So I got up and hurried to get ready but when I was walking out the door, I saw that it was 6:15am. Class starts at 6:00am and is 15 minutes away. Sigh. So I crawled back into bed so annoyed with myself.
Then I woke up. Yep, it was all a very realistic dream. I didn't know whether I was relieved that I could go to CrossFit or disappointed that I had to get up and go. Ha!
Monday is my weigh in day. After a week of super compliance with paleo (only non-compliant thing was the wine on Monday), I gained 1.8 pounds. Sigh. I shall forge ahead. I promised myself 30 days no matter what, so I shall continue and not dwell on it. I do feel good so it is what it is.
CrossFit was actually pretty great and intense today. After warming up:
A. 10:00 OTM (on the minute) 2 Power Cleans at 80% of my one rep max. We just found our one rep max last week which was 125# for me, so I used 100#. It was heavy but doable and got easier the more I warmed up.
B. 5:00 OTM 1 Power Clean & Jerk at 85% of my one rep max. So I added 5# to be at 105#. This was tougher. Even though you only did each move once, jerking it up over my head was really hard. I think I was really doing more of a push press, but I got it up there.
C. As if that wasn't enough, we finished with 10:00 of burpees. We did get to pause from the burpees every 1:30 to do 30 double unders or in my case, lateral hops (jumping side to side). So, I would break from burpees, by jumping up and down. Yeesh. It was a long 10 minutes.
But I did it!
Today's meal plan:
Breakfast: Black Coffee. Leftover frittata. I made a big oven baked frittata over the weekend with sausage, kale and parsley. It is pretty good although I think I cooked it a scosh to long. I topped it wish some salsa.
Lunch: Paleo Shepherd's Pie. I made this weekend and it is delicious! It is ground beef and chorizo combined with some onion, adobo sauce and some spices to make a meatloaf. Then I topped it with a sweet potato and cauliflower puree. Yum!
Snack: Turkey breast and a boiled egg.
Dinner: Leftover chicken and veggies. My chicken is from last weekend so I hope it is still good!
Snack: If I need it I can have a serving of the homemade honey roasted pecans I made over the weekend. I'm not a huge fan of honey, so there is no danger that I will OD on them.
Hugs!

I keep thinking about trying crosscut because there's a gym on my way home from work but I keep shying away from the cost. Is it worth it? I've been doing 30-day shred at home and it's great but I have a bad habit of getting home and getting busy with other things and then suddenly it's bed-time and I haven't exercised! Lol Maybe I'd do better if I just went on my way to or from work. Thanks for any insight you have into Crossfit!!
I hate to work out in the morning and have such respect for anyone that does! I even consider myself a morning person... weird, right?
Good work! I think that you will see your weight drop sometimes crossfit just doesnt help it happen as quickly as we think it should.
oooh feelin' guilty about sitting on couch, as soon as I'm done with the blogs and this week's menue planning I'm out the door to walk/jog with the dog :D you've inspired me -- but won't do burpees unless there's someone who knows CPR near me :D
