Miscellaneous

My workout this morning was hella tough-

as many round as possible in 20 minutes (AMRAP20):
5 thrusters
7 hang power cleans
10 sumo-deadlift high pulls

The last time I did this workout I completed 8 round + 5 thrusters and 7 cleans so almost 9 rounds. That was on August 31st so about 6 weeks ago.

This morning I beat that with 10 full rounds and 20 seconds left on the clock. I know, 20 seconds--- I should have kept going, but I couldn't. I was pooped and my forearms were killing me. The worst part about this workout is afterwards when I'm doing my hair and I have to use the curling iron. My forearms are so tired that even curling my hair is a chore. Note to self- next time I do this workout, the hair is going in a ponytail.

The next time I plan to bump up the weights a little bit. The scale higher than my current one calls for 65# (I did 45#). I'm not sure I could do 65# but maybe 55#. We'll see...

Another workout in the books...

So, remember how I said I'm trying to not go crazy with food this week and actually show some restraint?

Let me tell you that by 9 AM yesterday, someone had brought in donuts AND (get this) someone made pink ribbon cookies for the 2 ladies who walk in the 3-day (60-mile) event for breast cancer. She even took the time to write inspirational messages on each one! She was selling each cookie for $2 and the money went to our two walkers. What a great idea right? I only wish I had thought of it. I did end up buying a cookie but I gave it to one of my employees as a "thank you for your hard work" gesture.

THEN--- in the afternoon, someone brought in apple cake!

Argh! Seriously people? No wonder I have a hard time sticking to a diet... can't someone bring in fruits and veggies?

I have to say, I did not eat any of them! It was tough... I even had the knife in my hand to cut a piece of cake but then set it down and walked away. Hells yeah! It was not easy! I wanted that damn cake... lol

Last night I made the grilled tuna patties with zucchini and we'll be eating them for lunch today. Hopefully they taste yummy (I already stole a bite while making them, and they were yummy). They totally fell apart and were not in the shape of patties in the least bit, so I'm actually calling it grilled tuna mush, but it's going to be good anyway!!!

Until tomorrow,
