Thursday Fun :)

Hello Loves! Hope you're having a fabulous Thursday. I am! Guess what I got to do this morning?!? WOD!!!!! My girl KellieShea picked me up and we went to CrossFit Knoxville box in west Knoxville.  She typically goes to the north box, but we did west today. It was a partner WOD - 200m run, 20 KB swings and 20 ball slams -- you do 10 rounds and rotate who's working. Well Kellie and I rowed -- we stuck a second rower right by the one we were on so I could set my boot on it. I should have taken a picture - blogger fail haha. And I did DB press (20# DB) instead of KB swings.   We also only did 8 rounds, but it was great! I NEEDED that. I love being home, but this time is different. I think because I'm so dependent on people and they are working so I'm stuck at home. In Jersey, I have school and training so I'm busy.
Here, I'm not so busy so I think that's why I'm a little frustrated. However, getting to see my family and babies is SO worth it.  My Princess is loving me which is nice. I always worry that she'll forget me. I think our weekly Skype dates help, because she definitely knows who I am.  Tank is getting so big!! I love any time I get with him. Plus, I really enjoy getting to hang with the Broski and SIL. Only thing I hate the most about being far away is not seeing my family. And now Mama Dukes is going to be here too. I'm happy for her - job worked out and she is closer to the babies which is what she wants.  DA and I talked about the fact I don't want to be far from my family.  It's a BIG issue for me and the thought of moving to Cali. It's SO far. So, if everything works out, our plans is within 5 years we will be in Ohio. And I LOVE that idea. :) I will be there for 2 days over Memorial Weekend.  Not a lot of time, but we need it.
Starting this week, I will be doing a Paleo/almost Whole30 challenge. Jilly's is going to help and has already made food plans for me. I need changes and I need to buckle down. So, starting Monday, it's go time. Ankle is as good as can be for being broken. Two weeks till I go back to ortho for more X-rays and see what the next step is. Hopefully I get the clear to start putting some weight on it and walk with the crutches and the boot. I'm hoping by Memorial Day I'm at the most in the boot. Will make traveling and visit DA a lot better!! Until then -- I will keep doing what I'm doing.

Off to lunch with Kellie then errands with mom. It's crappy weather - do you know how much it sucks to crutch in the rain?!? It blows haha.

Did you SweatPink or get active today?!? Did you run or lift extra for me today?!?

    1. haha Sitting still has been driving me nuts -- it was GREAT to go to a box and get some stuff done. I took 5 days completely off -- I think it did some good! Take care of that IT buddy!

  2. Technology is so wonderful! Good that you can stay connected with growing children and still have a virtual bond so that real visits aren't so awkward. I too am very family oriented and don't see mysel living very far from my family. We're all in the same town currently...just how I like it. Glad you got some QT with the family...I know you'll be stoked for Memorial Day wkd.

    1. Isn't it? I am very thankful that even though I am 13 hours away I can be in touch with them. I hate living far away, but right now it's in my best interest. Ya'll may get sick of my Memorial Day countdown :)

  3. Family is so amazing. I am glad that you might end up closer to them in Ohio. I skype with my little nephew too, but always wonder if he will remember me when he sees me in person (about 3 times a year).
