Everything Tastes Better With An Egg

Prior to this every hearing of the paleo lifestyle, my food motto was "everything tastes better in a sandwich." Thanksgiving dinner: better in a sandwich. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes: better in a sandwich. You get the idea. I still whole-hearted my believe in this theory but I'm trying to be healthier. 

Sincer going on this challenge, I've come up with a new motto: Everything tastes better with an egg (or two). I came up with this motto tonight as I was dreading making dinner. I had just arrived home from field hockey practice. By the time I took Rocco for a walk, did some laundry and cleaned up living room enough to see the floor, it was 8:00. Where did the time go?! 

I looked in my fridge and I felt like I had nothing to eat and no desire to cook. I spotted some leftover taco meat from last night. However, I was sick of tacos. I had them for dinner last night and lunch today. So I decided to add a few eggs to the taco meat and call it a "scramble." It sounds so fancy when I call it a scramble. It was at this moment when I realized that I make a lot of these scrambles. And that's when I declared my new motto. 

Today's WOD 

This morning I forced myself out of bed to crossfit this morning. The skill for today was thick grip floor press. Have I told you how much I loathe the think grip? Anyway I got up to 70#! That's a lot for me. My arms usually have no strength. 

After that, the main workout:

12 min AMRAP

5 pull ups 

10 push ups 

15 DB swings 35/25

I did this scaled so my rounds were 3, 6, 9, respectively. However I was pumped that I did real push ups and the prescribed weight for the dumbbell swings! I'm still doing body rows instead of pull ups though. But I'm really going to work towards doing an unassisted pull up. It's been on my goal list for over a year...from when I used to workout with my old trainer! 

And just because...

Happy Thursday!
