But, lucky me, I had a dentist "Crentist" appointment to get to at 8:30! Woohoo! Okay, maybe not. ;)
It was a pretty neat appointment though- As I sat there trying to form words with a numb upper lip and looking like a total idiot I'm sure, I managed to make my mouth work enough to ask if I could work out after I left the office. Dr. Runyan said, "Sure! I guess everyone's on a health kick right now, huh?"
I told him how we've been doing Crossfit for some time now and he seemed VERY interested. He said that he was a member at the gym that Dallas and I just switched to and asked so many questions about Crossfit. It was pretty neat to be telling him about it all considering he works out often and is buff and knows a lot about health and fitness. After we were done chatting it up about how awesome Crossfit is he said, "Man, I'm really motivated right now, I need to go to the gym!!" Guess we can add another Crossfitter to our little family!
After the appointment I headed home to give myself a little time to regain some feeling in my upper jaw. I looked ridiculous! I laughed at myself so hard in the mirror because I couldn't smile straight, speak properly, or lick my lips despite the minutes I spent trying! I sure didn't want to go to the gym and try to talk to people and look like a crazy lady...
I did end up heading up there after lunch and met up with Abbie. We did our Crossfit warm up together and then she headed off to run and I did a WOD (workout of the day).
This was my warm up and workout:
3 sets of
5 pull ups
10 air squats
10 tricep dips
10 sit ups
10 back extensions
15-9-7 (for time) WOD
15- 75 lb. squats
15- burpees
9- 75 lb, squats
9- burpees
7- 75 lb. squats
7- burpees
I finished my workout in 5 minutes and 20 seconds!!! Not to shabby for taking a month off of CF... I'm back in the game!
I felt like a million bucks by the time I was headed out the door of the gym... I still feel good. I can't wait to get back in there tomorrow! I may be paying for the squats though- have your legs ever been so sore that you grab onto the sink or the bathtub or wall even to ease yourself down onto the toilet because it hurts so bad to squat even that far? Yep, that will be me in a few hours!!
You're welcome for the visual!
I also found a brilliant idea for lunches when I start the radiography program on Monday and only have 30 minute lunches... I apologize for some of the bloggers language or references, but really, it's a genius idea I had to share. You'll thank me later! SALAD SHAKERS!
Here's the meal diary for today:
-An Oscar (spinach and blueberries today) for breakfast
-1/4 cup oatmeal, tsp brown sugar, tsp raisins for snack
-Healthy Chicken Gumbo left overs for lunch
-Banana for snack
-Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken, corn on the cob and squash for dinner (sorry, I forgot to take a picture)
-One glass of mmmm mmmm yummylicious peach green tea with a tsp sugar
-WATER WATER WATER WATER!
Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken
- Brown Sugar, 4 tsp unpacked Chicken Breast, no skin, 12 ounces Garlic, 1 clove Butter, salted, 1 tbsp Salt, 1 tsp Pepper, black, 1 dash
This makes four servings, 3 oz per person
1. Melt the butter in a frying pan.
2. Brown the garlic in the butter
3. Add chicken breasts to garlic and butter and cook thoroughly, adding salt and pepper as you like it.
4. When chicken is fully cooked add brown sugar on top of each breast
5. Allow the brown sugar to melt into the chicken (about 5 minutes)
6. Serve with your favorite carb, and veggie or salad.
Also, you can add a little chicken broth to the mix to make the sauce go a little further, or even some soy sauce for a little extra flavor. I'd use reduced sodium on both of those additions if you choose to use them!
I hope everyone has a blessed day!!! And night. And morning. And workout.
