Day Eight

We are into week two and I think I found my mind that was displaced from my body on Friday.  My mood seems better, and I am not as cranky as I have been the past few days.  I seem to be getting out of the house easier and Jason has made the bus two days in a row! I did think about how nice it would be to have a glass of wine when I got home tonight, as I was driving to work this morning, but since it was 8:30 in the morning it was easy to replace that thought with I can't wait to get to work and have a cup of coffee.

We are starting to get used to the change in diet .  I am eating breakfast every morning and even though I  bring a ton of "snacks" ( cucumbers, hard boiled eggs, tangerine, banana) I find that my breakfast usually keeps me full until later in the afternoon and I have not finished all of my snacks that I brought wih me.  Lunch has been leftovers from the day before or a salad .  Tip of the day don't leave olive oil and balsamic vinegar in the refrigerator, the oil coagulates and leaves you dressing-less.  The funny part is I don't really need the dressing when you add the tomatoes, steak, and hard boiled eggs.  

Dinner was awesome tonight, Michael made a dijon pork chop recipe we found from a whole 30 web site and an awesome side dish with brussels sprouts, bacon and mushrooms.  I could have eaten the whole bowl, but I made sure I saved some so I would have leftovers to take to lunch with me tomorrow! I am already looking forward to lunch tomorrow.

Now for the most exciting news of the day, I PR'd my double unders!!  I have been struggling with double unders since the day I started cross-fit.  I spent a year and a half basically doing singles, not even attempting a double because frankly I just could not get the doubles .  I started dong one at a time about six months ago, and for the past six months I have done workouts wih double unders one at a time and that takes a long time!!  I was able to get six a couple of weeks go but that was my max until tonight.  I was doing the workout (7 rounds 20 DU, 5 HSPU, 5 snatches). .  In round three I totally surprised myself and whipped off 15 in a row (new PR), then in round four I did it all 20  (new   PR) I could have kept going but I stopped because it was the limit in the workout!  It was an awesome feeling, I just hope I can still do them tomorrow.

I promptly yelled across the gym to Tony  "it must be the diet"!
