mondays |

Usually ~~Mondays~~ Mondaze are so difficult for me. I’m grumpy and sluggish. Just wishing I was still enjoying my weekend with Tyler and nailing some good workouts. Mondays usually equal 3+ cups of coffee & today I scaled down to 2… progress 😉

But today was so much better than any other Monday!

Once I finally drug my booty out of my amazing comfortable ~~cloud~~ bed I started off the day with a Holiday Shred tabata workout with some 400s! The fabulous NHerShoes is hosting a Holiday Shred this year and I made sure to get on board. Couldn’t pass up 6 weeks of healthy eating and workout recommendations from that gorgeous momma! Bobbi certainly knows what she is doing and switches it up–which is something I love and need.
{I’m going to pretend those thunder thighs are half the size!}

Work also went really quick because the massive mound of work I had (by work I mean countless e-mails and powerpoint preparation….boring)!

But after work is where it got good. Usually after work I want to sit around and relax for 45 minutes or so then hit the gym. But the WOD today at my CrossFit box was one I wanted to get to…and they have a 5pm class. So I quickly changed out of my ACUs, threw on my knee brace & clothes & hit the gym. And 3 hours later I’m still riding the workout high. This is the first time I have sat down since.

Today’s WOD:

10 rounds AFAP:

6 over head squat (scaled to 20kg to work on snatch form)
8 ball slams (15#)
10 hand release push-ups
Time: 14:02

There’s something about mixing the strength with the cardio, the non-stop sweat, the grunting & the motivation from others at the box that really has me LOVING CrossFit.

I had a workout high like I’ve never had and I came back and made an amazing dinner. Roasted nuts for a clean treat for the week. And just about to make my favorite pre-workout snack before relaxing with the feet up, hot tea & Hostages (best.show.ever.)
