Box Jumping The Coffee Table!

Hi! I hope your Tuesday has been great! Mine was busy, and not super great. Just one of those days, ya know? It will be better if the Bruins can win this game without going into OT. Today was super busy and hectic for me, but I made it out in one piece. Sometimes that is all you can ask for.

Breakfast was eaten at work this morning while working. I had 1 cup of Kashi GoLean Crunch, a container of honey Chobani, and blueberries with coffee from home that I brought with me.

I love the cereal, yogurt and berry combo. It reminds me of summer- which is hopefully on it’s way! It has been cold and rainy here for the last 4 days and should continue for at least 4 more No bueno!

Lunch was leftovers from last night. Just as good the next day.

On rainy and dreary days, sometimes a second coffee is a must. Today was one of those days, I was busy at work and needed fuel mid-afternoon if I was going to get through and make it to my 5:30 pm Crossfit class. I had a grande mild roast with sugar free vanilla syrup and half and half from Starbucks.

After work I booked it to the gym to make a 5:30 pm Crossfit Bootcamp class. Getting to the 5:30 pm class is stressful at times since I need to walk to the train, take it two stops, walk to the gym and then change all in the matter of 45 minutes- since I get out of work at 4:45 pm. But, it is so awesome to be done with my workout by 6:30 pm. So it is worth the hustle if I can make it on time.

Here was the workout:

Buy in:

3 rounds-

10 side lunges on each side
10 rotating planks
5 inch worms
3 Burpees

Workout:

AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) 20 minutes

10 toes to bar
10 ring rows (love these!)
10 push ups
15 box jumps
20 double unders (60 singles)

I was one exercise shy of 4 full rounds after the 20 minutes. My toes to bar are getting better, I can REALLY get close on the very first one of the set and them I can get my knees up to my elbows on the rest. I love ring rows, they make me feel so strong. I am getting lower and lower to the ground each time I do them. I made my very first attempts at double unders tonight. My wrists are still not fast enough and I have a few welts on my body to prove it. I did singles mostly, which means I jumped rope 240 times. The workout was awesome, I was dripping sweat. Gah! I love Crossfit.

After Crossfit I headed to my part-time job where I worked until 9pm. I was exhausted and just not having a great day, but I stuck it out and got all the work done. When I got home at 9:15 I found these beauties in the kitchen.

Adam bought me flowers to brighten my day. Not jut flowers, but my favorite flowers- gerber daisies! They are so springy and happy on a dreary day. Sometimes, my husband is just so thoughtful.

Dinner had to be quick and easy since it was 9:30 when I finally ate. I had a grilled turkey and cheese on a flax sandwich thin with apple slices and salt and vinegar popchips.

Look at this beauty of an apple:

Adam joked that I looked like I was eating a 2nd graders lunch. Now looking at the photos, I can see his point. It was just what I wanted though. Dinner gave me a burst of energy that made wonder if I could box jump our coffee table. So I tried it out. The answer is yes, I can box jump the coffee table. But, at the risk of getting a “What the hell are you doing, you nut?!” from Adam. Worth the risk! Ha!
