I have a bad habit of not eating on the weekends. I always ensure the kids eat, but it seems as though they are bottomless pits, but myself...I rarely eat more than two meals on the weekend. So you can imagine how yesterday went.
Breakfast consisted of avocado and scrambled eggs for me...everyone else got bacon with their eggs, it is almost impossible to find bacon that doesn't have sugar added that is also reasonable cost.
After breakfast/brunch we went to Centerville Crossfit (CCF). Really this is our home away from home. We were just going to support our friends who were redoing 13.3. I wanted to redo it, but my legs were so sore from Friday's attempt as well as the 5K I ran on Saturday with my 11-year old son, that I was willing to accept my score of 161 (better than last year) and look on to 13.4. Well as fate would have it, that was not how it ended up. Our friend was moved to a heat by himself, and so he didn't have to do the workout by himself, I decided to redo 13.3 too.....and I am happy I did. Sets of 10 to 130 then sets of 5....I came of the wallballs a full minute faster than Friday. The entire time, my thighs were screaming, protesting the repetitive squat action...All I could focus on was my pants...and knee socks. I was not dressed to workout....I was in workout clothes, but not the proper attire for this workout. I was hot!!
Finished the wallballs and went to the double unders. Double unders are NOT my friend. It doesn't seem to matter how much I practice, this is just a skill I can't seem to master. JELLO legs and double unders are NOT fun!! One...two...three....mess up...I was able to string together 10 at some point, I am not sure how that happened. By the time "TIME" was yelled, I had jumped my way to 45 DUs. WAY BETTER THAN FRIDAY! 195 reps, not an awesome score...but I was very happy with it, considering one year ago, after only doing crossfit for three months, my score was 155 reps. That is improvement!
This is a picture from Friday's 13.3
After our CCF fun, it was grocery store time. I am so happy that I remembered to bring my list, else I would have failed the 21 DSD before I really even started. My brain was mush! I was so hungry!! Went home and started meal prep....we made lunches and parts of supper for the entire week, this will save A TON of time. I finally sat down to eat my second meal at 7:30. There was a lot of grumpiness in here...probably not because of the sugar detox, more because I was hungry and tired and trying to prepare food while simultaneously helping my son with a school project.
Lesson learned here - EAT MORE FOOD!!!!
Sorry for the lengthly post. Yesterday was quite an eventful day!
