Hello Loves! Happy Saturday friends!! Guess who's back in the Dirty Jerz? This girl! I miss my babies - a lot. Yesterday morning before I flew back I got to keep the Princess. SIL had to go into work early - so I got up with the baby. Broski had already gotten Tank up and off to school and had left for work. We had a nice little bonding time. Mama Dukes came over and hung with us too. Silly me - I must have been SO excited to get back that I told Mama my flight was at 2:30. LIED! I wasn't flying out till 3:20. It worked out ok -- getting through security was a mess. I got totally felt up in my wheelchair and my boot became an issue because of the wire for the pump. BLAH - whatever. It's over right?!? The AWESOME Nilda from my box came to pick me up from the airport. I felt bad because it was rush hour when I got in, but we actually got back into Jersey pretty fast! Woot Woot! 
Now my CrossFitting folks know it was the LAST week of the open -- and if you've read my post about Fridays - you know my box does the Open WODs on Fridays SO guess where I had Nilda take me?!? Yep - THE BOX!! Happy happy girl I was! It was good to just be back around the crew. A lot of people want to know why my life has changed so much in the last 6-7 months -- really, it hasn't. I've just weeded out people/things/situations that don't support me and my goals. Life is short -- and I have SO much I want to do. If you're not on board with that, then I don't have time. I'm not changing or being mean -- I'm just focusing on myself, figuring out the DA situation, healing this broken ankle and keeping my fitness/health journey going :)
Anyways - after the WOD - AC came here and we changed and decided to head to La Esperanza with the CrossFit Aspire crew. After dinner - Alycia, Justin, Jim, AC and I went to Kaminskis for a few drinks. It was a good night! Much needed after a week at home not doing to much. I was exhausted to say the least by the time I got home. I knew I was WOD'ing in the morning - which happens to be TODAY!
Started with skill work on pull-ups -- and guess what?!? I got to go down a band!! Woot Woot! I did 6x6. Then I did a mini metcon - 10 regular bicep curls, 10 hammer curls, 6 knee push-ups and 6 reverse DB fly. I got 5 or 6 rounds -- I can't remember haha. Then I did strict press - sets of 5 -- I got up to 75# -- I got 3 at 80 so I'll take it!!
After my WOD I came home and got ready then did a Costco run with Jilly. Had fun playing in the wheelchair. I need one of those bad boys. After that I just came home and relaxed on the couch. Had Elevation Burger for dinner with Allie and just chatted for a while. PS I bought these bad boys at Costco --> DAMN -- they are amazing!! Good thing I'm starting a Whole30 on Monday -- I need this. I need to get focused again on my body. Jilly is helping me with my food -- because she loves me! I have my push-up challenge, Whole30 and as much WODs as I can :)
Are you on a Whole30/food challenge right now?
Any fun challenges you're doing?

Glad you made it home safely. Girl doesn't it feel good to weed out the time wasters..UGH! It's like...why did I wait so long to do that!
ReplyDeleteGirl, it does! I don't know why people get so frustrated when someone's path changes -- not everyone you meet can stay in your life ya know? Plus if you aren't supporting my goals and what I'm doing...what is there?
DeleteI am really interested to here about your Whole 30. It seems to be popping up all over, but I have no clue what it is.
ReplyDeleteOh yes!! Girl it's an awesome way to refocus on what I eat. It's 30 days of strict Paleo eating - so no grains, dairy, sugar, legumes -- LOTS of veggies, meat, little fruit and nuts + healthy fats (coconut oil, avacado, etc.). Being injured - I know I need to go strict or I'll eat like I am still WOD'ing really hard 6x a week + running haha :)
