Let’s just say “Grace” isn’t so graceful!  I’m still riding high on my lack of indulgence yesterday.  That is until today at lunch.  With our April snowstorm, the a.m. class was cancelled so I made time on my lunch to go get a WOD in.  The name was “Grace”.  Now I’ve learned in my short time being there(Crossfit Salvo), that if there’s not a lot of detail and volume to the workout, it’s gonna be a killer.  Such as today.  30 Clean and jerks for time.  Girl’s were recommended to have #95, but I could only do #85.  And it took me all of 7 minutes…and I was the last one to finish.  Ugh.  Better tomorrow I hope!

Food today has been excellent.  I’ve been exploring Eat To Perform.  I’m still not sure what it’s all about, but I ordered some product because they are extremely pure and organic in they’re contents.  And I’m always looking for that.  I’ll let ya know as I go.  The general consensus I’ve found on the site is that most people aren’t eating enough.  I filled out they’re BMR calculator and this spit out.  And yes…I did have a heart attack at the amount.

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): 3,196 calories

I don’t think I’ll be following this without some major, major, major research.  Although, the restrictive diet I had been doing pretty much since adolescence isn’t working…so we’ll see.  After this Crossfit/Paleo challenge I’ll see how my very much abused body does and go from there.

But in the mean time how bout some pics of the beautiful Spring snow?

We had a beautiful day!  April is shaping up nicely with snow, sunshine, and smiles.  Well all smiles until your older and substantially heavier sister body slams you on the trampoline.  A few tears wiped later, all smiles again.  3.3 and 3.4 were relatively smooth.  Continuing with my smoothie mornings, I’m staying full till lunch which has satisfied me till dinner.  I went a little heavy on the nuts for snacks, which resulted in a healthy self loathing shower before bed, but alas…tomorrow is a new day.

As for the workouts.  3.3 wasn’t exactly fun, but it was a welcome relief from “Badger”.  Sunday is my rest day and it lived up to it’s purpose (well, I spent 4 hours at a photo shoot, but we’re talking sweat rest.)  My weekends have been all work with little room for play.  I am SOOOO looking forward to May and Alabama!

Monday and snow.  I’m glad for it.  I’m not quite ready for the blistering heat dimming the excitement of summer.  Got in a tiny 30 min workout this morning before work, then survived the WOD at Crossfit Salvo on my lunch.  Today is the beginning of the Paleo/Crossfit challenge at the gym.  Saturday was the humiliating measurement session, but Lord willing I won’t see those numbers again!

Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of faith and knowing you must!

Really loving this quote this week…”Don’t judge someone just because they sin differently than you”
