Raleigh day

Oh what a day! It started off with my meeting which was ok and then crossfit which was so hard today. In fact, I nearly had a brush with the pavement. If John hadnt caught me I would have gone down. I dont think it was anything serious (seizure) just that I had too much blood going to my head from the crab walk and that it was really humid outside and I overheated. I hadnt properly hydrated prior to group so that was my own fault. I was incredibly embarrassed but I stayed and finished the workout with a slight modification in that for the 1st round I skipped burpees and did squat jumps. Todays workout was 3 rounds for time of clean and press, crabwalk for the first round then could do walking lunges, burpees, 400 meter run. The sets were 17, 14 and 11 which are weird numbers but it did make you think. The cash out was a farmers carry of your clean and press dumbells. My weights today were 15 pounders. I was pretty proud of that since I usually use 12 pounds. After crossfit I came home and cleaned myself up and had a protein shake with some muscle milk while I waited on Meg to come over. When she got here we headed up to Raleigh to meet up with Marci and Terry at the Farmers Market. OMG, I wish we had one here in F-ville. I loved all the fresh stuff. I got some tomatoes, okra, a sprite melon which while it tastes like a melon it has the texture of a pear, and some fresh bacon. Afterwards we went to lunch and I had the most wonderful salad with grilled chicken and an amazing tomato and bacon dressing. Next stop was TJ's and Whole Foods and I bought some ahi, some grass fed beef, some free range eggs and a few other things. I was really proud of myself since I didnt eat everything in sight at Whole Foods today. I did have a couple spoons of some ice cream made with coconut milk with Meggy but really that was pretty much it as far as non healthy stuff goes.
When I got home I separated the meat I bought and cooked a dinner using some of the beef and veggies. It was very good. Okra is delish broiled with just a bit of garlic powder and some olive oil on it. Up until tonight I had only had it fried. I really liked it and wish now I had bought more of it. I am excited over the next couple weeks so cook some of the other things I bought.
The highlight of my day was that I was able to speak with Paul today. He called on the way to Raleigh and it was as usual so good to hear his voice. When I got home I found out that he also had emailed me a lovely 'letter'. I have a good man for sure.
Well, I am going to shower and then take care of some household chores before bed.
Catch you tomorrow!
