Soaking Saturday

Well today is turning out to not be such a crappy day since it started pouring rain as I was going to mow and saved from the dreadful task until Monday. Monday will be a better day for it anyhow since after cross fit this morning I am TIRED as all get out. Our WOD was in honor of Sweet T's birthday and Ali made it very painful. The workout really challenged me today for sure. I dont think I have ever posted what our warm up is in cross fit so here goes: a 400 meter run, 25 air squats, 20 pushups and situps, 5 mobility swings, and 10 dislocates. We do the warm up on our own before the group begins. I do my run outside as soon as I park unless it is raining. I hate to run on the track inside. Anyhow the WOD was 800 meter run followed by single arm pushpress, hollow rock, turkish situps, and squat jumps. The reps were 22/18/8. Once you were done with your last reps you finished with another 800 meter run. Our cashout was 50 pushups. I used 15 lb dumbbells for the first set of push presses but on the second and third set I went down to 10 lbs which was in hindsight too light and I should have used 12 lbs. For my turkish situps I did the first set with 10 pound dumbbelss but the remaining two I went down to 8 lbs. They are much harder than they look for sure and because your arm is up in the air you really must use your abs. My time for the workout was 25.28.
Anyhow, now that the weather has prevented me from mowing I have nothing to do for the afternoon. I am meeting Tammy Peters for dinner tonight at Ruby Tuesday and I am having the salad bar. I am working really hard to get down to where it is I want to. I would love to see a loss this coming week. This morning I had a chocolate pumpkin smoothie before crossfit which held me until lunch. I love the smoothies for that reason but I do get tired of drinking my meals so that is why I switch things up. For lunch I had 3 oz of white meat rotisserie chicken, one la tortilla and 1/4 of onion and peppers sauteed with a T of salsa. It was very good and filling. I am trying to not have a snack this afternoon but if I do, I will have some watermelon because I dont want it to go bad.
I have planned a lunch for tomorrow with some of the ladies. So far I have a good response. It looks like of the 7 I have invited I have for sure 4 coming. No one has said no but the other three just havent responded. We are going after church to once again, Ruby Tuesday. LOL. A couple of us are watching our food intake and since RT has a wonderful salad bar it seemed like a good choice. Also they have a wonderful regular menu for kids and the other ladies.
This evening I have to finish up my Sunday School lesson. I hope it goes well. I dread doing it because I think I suck at teaching.
ok, going to rest for a bit. I may hit up Target before meeting Tammy because I really could use another pair of workout pants. I love the shorts Paul got me before he left. They are knee length and super comfy for working out.
