Hi everyone! I am so sorry that I haven’t posted in a few days. It has been a great week, but unfortunately, that also meant that I had little time to catch up on blogging and even my personal emails! I have been waking up early everyday to exercise and then just tried to unwind in the evenings…so I apologize for being MIA!
I won’t do a recap of the last few days, except to say that I think I’ve gotten my running legs back. I was a bit worried at the beginning of The 21 Day Sugar Detox that my energy level for running just wasn’t there, but I think it’s back! I was feeling a bit sluggish, but I am feeling like I got over that hump and have so much energy now!
WOD
This morning, I went to a 6:30am WOD…and it was awesome! I was a bit nervous because I checked out what the WOD was online and it said something about a 1 rep max…so that just sounded intimidating.
This is what we ended up doing:
15 mins to find 1RM Thruster
Rest 3 mins.
6 x 1 min AMRAP of Thrusters at 50% of 1RM.
Rest 1 minute between each round
I knew what thrusters were, but I had no idea what 1RM meant, etc…turns out it means 1 Rep Max. So it’s basically the maximum weight you can do at 1 rep.
I ended up being able to do a 60 lbs. thruster off the rack…I had no idea I could do that! Then for the WOD, I did 69 reps at 30 lbs., which is 50% of my 1RM. I felt so accomplished and strong! I love it!
Lunch (and Dinner)
Food-wise, it was a great lunch today, which I actually also ended up having for dinner. As you can tell from the photo, I was so excited to eat it that I almost forgot to take a photo. I promised myself I would catch up with blogging tonight so I took a photo even though I had already started eating it! 
I had oven-roasted spaghetti squash topped with homemade ground turkey sauce! We also cooked up chicken drumsticks, which we seasoned with Herbes de Provence, and also roasted in the oven. It was a perfect lunch after hard work on the WOD. Here’s a close-up on the squash with meat sauce…sorry that it looks so unappetizing in this photo. I promise it was delicious!
Tomorrow, we plan on waking up early again to run before work and then I’m going to try another CrossFit gym with a friend after work. Then, we’re off to Vermont for skiing! I can’t wait for the weekend!
Enjoy the rest of your night!
