Funday Monday & No WOD today

Funday Monday! You know what was awesome about yesterday?!? That even with everything going on - it was a really, really good and fun day! I honestly had a great weekend and a good Monday.  I am such a lucky and blessed girl to have such awesome friends and a stellar family!! I'd be lost with out them!! God is good to me to let me have such awesomeness around me :)

Anyways, I started my day with sleeping in since we didn't have school. Then I drove out to Springfield, PA to meet my friend Gina for lunch. She had a beautiful baby girl three months ago (and I forgot to take a picture).  I haven't seen her since summer time so it was nice to catch up and meet Gracie! I love babies!

After lunch, I meet my friend Ro for a movie date! We went to see Identify Thief. It was pretty good -- not exactly what I was thinking after the trailer I saw.  This one is different and is more what you should expect!
BEASTMODE!
After the movie, I headed home to get ready to head to the box! My buddy Erik & I decided to wear our BeastMode shirts from ViewSport.  I LOVE these shirts.  They are show a secret message once you've sweat enough.  Mine only got enough sweat for BEAST to show, but I am a beast so it's ok!
Yesterday was a HARD WOD.  Didn't feel like it should have been, but it was. We started with a clean complex - full, hang, high + a jerk - 3@75% 1RPM, 3@80%1RPM,and 3@85%  -- it was HARD haha. Then we moved into Hang Snatch work - 2 snatches EMOTM for 10mins at 60#s. Our Metcon was AMRAP in 15 - 10 KB swings, 10 box jumps & 10 ring dips ( I did box dips). After that I had gymnastics class.  We worked on handstand stuff.  My shoulder was bugging me so I left a little early.  I really need to get that looked at.  I went home and made a green smoothie -- two handfuls spinach, banana, frozen berries and almond milk! Also whipped up most of my food for the week....

Chicken - baked on 350 in the oven with butter and also put garlic powder, chili powder, paprika and onion powder!
Mashed cauliflower -- steamed a head of cauliflower till it was super soft.  Then put it in my food processor and pulsed it down. Once it looked and had the consistency of mashed potatoes, I added some butter and garlic! They were fabulous today.  I want to figure out how to make them thicker/fluffier.

Also made a crust less quiche - 2 zucchini, 2 carrots and 12 eggs all mixed up then baked at 375 for about 30  or so minutes till sides are brown. Next time I want to add sausage or some type of meat! YUM!

I didn't get to WOD today. It's raining here so traffic is miserable.  I can only do the 6 pm class so that the girls don't have to be in their box all day.  I didn't make it over there till 6:30. Whomp Whomp! Going to go for a run hopefully soon.  After my sauteed veggies and chicken dinner. And snuggles with my girls :)

PS First two days of #30DayPaleoChallenge are in the books and I've rocked them! Though I want chocolate....bad haha

How was your Monday? Did you SweatPink today?

  6. Love viewsport! I've tried the mashed cauliflower before and didn't make it right or something because it was too runny. I'm thinking about doing a whole 30 challenge... I think I can I think I can!
