Crossfit will make ya... Jump Jump...

November 28, 2011

This is going to be a quick post today. I had a LONG day even though I took a vacation day from work. I still got up and went to the gym for my usual 5:30am workout, but there was no "relaxing" for me today after that!! I also spent most of my night updating my food blog (HERE) with lots of great recipes that Hubs and I have tried.

The two that I wanted to point out most are the Bacon and Sweet Potato Breakfast and what I am most proud of, Protein Bars. I mean... look at these bars!! They came out FANTASTIC!!


So, why all these "egg-less" recipes. Well, I think I am developing an allergy to eggs. Ok, maybe not an allergy, but certainly a sensitivity to them... due to the fact that I was up to 20 or so eggs a week with my post workout egg muffins as well as eggs some nights for dinner, it was getting to be a little too much. I am cutting them out for two weeks to see if my skin clears up. We shall see... its been one week and things are looking upward!!

Anyway, no real "blog" about the gym today. I have to get to bed... 4:45am comes quick!! Check out the food blog and really... if you like something feel free to comment, as questions and make suggestions!! That goes for both blogs, this one and the food one!! I would love to hear from you!!

The 7's

September 15, 2012 Ahhhh, Saturdays. I love Saturday mornings at the gym. I usually get a little more sleep than normal, I get to have a little coffee and "awake" time before heading over and since I dont have a time constraint (most of the time) so its a totally different feeling than 5:30am. On Thursday night M had posted a "challenge" on the board. He, K and another CFWer had completed it and when I was looking at it on the board he posed the challenge to me as well. Told him that I would go for it on Saturday... so today was the day! I woke up thinking about "The 7's" and I knew that I was not going to back away from this challenge. For some reason, I was nervous about this one. I think I was just letting it get the best of me. I knew after talking to K and M that it was pretty deceiving the way it is written on the board. I mean you look at it and think, well, that cant be THAT bad. Than you quickly remember that when a CrossFit workout doesnt...

Take That Burpees...

August 30, 2011 I was exhausted last night when I got home from work around 7:45. I don’t even think exhausted is the word… my eyelids were heavy and I just wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep. I have nasty fall allergies and I am thinking that the storm may have jumpstarted them with all the trees flying. I was in bed at 9:00 and slept pretty well… Funny thing was, I woke up thinking about CrossFit and what the WOD would be this morning. I was thinking (at 5am) that we haven’t done burpees in a while, maybe I was dreaming about them. I went downstairs and decided to hop on the website real quick to see what was in store… hmmm what do you know… BURPEES! M and K must have been in my head last night! Off to CFW I went, T was there burpee-ing (is that a word) away when I pulled up. I got right into the warmup. Funny how a 200m run feels like nothing now. My feet feel light and my breathing is much more controlled. The 9 fundamentals are coming along every week with my form improving...

January 18, 2017 Tonight after coming home from daycare and watching "a snowman," Mr Z actually said "no" to watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse... which is a miracle in itself. It was too early for bed time and it was bath night, so I brought him up early to hop in the tub with his other favorites, Nemo and Dory. After we ran around and chased each other all over my second floor while the tub filled up, he took a long (and bubble filled) tub. Its really one of my favorite times of the day. I take him out of the bath, we giggle while I kiss his little feets and tell them they are "my feet." He is all warm and snuggly and smells like Johnson Bubble Stuff... his eyelashes are still a little damp and hes sleepy in his eyes after a fun energy filled day. We lay together in his bed (the twin bed in his room), he makes sure he is positioned just right in the bed with his head on his pillow as tight to my side as he can be... legs crossed (always) and we read boo...
