Monday: Flex Day!

Breakfast: Two eggs, fried, with half a sweet potato and half a chorizo sausage from Whole Foods

This is one of Vic and I's favorite breakfasts, it's the perfect mixture of flavors and has a good amount of all the fat, protein and carbs we need to start the day. Yum!

Workout with Vic at Flex: I had kept a running tab of my sets during the workout...and then I didn't save it. The highlights are:



I discovered I can do hang power cleans again. This is a big step for my shoulder mobility. I did at least 100 24" box jumps and like seven sets each of 10 front squats and back squats, building from 55  lbs to 85#. I kept them light since both front and back rack are new for my shoulder. I definitely felt my back flexibility being worse than pre-injury, gotta work on that! Vic had me do leg press, working up to a set of 10 at 230# of plates. We did some extensions and curls and I finished with a 500 m row. All together it was a good leg day, long, but good!

Late Lunch: Chipotle salad with chicken and barbacoa, guacamole and salsa, a side of plantain chips.

We ate a late enough lunch that I didn't want much for dinner, so I went for a little dessert of dark chocolate coconut ice cream, some fresh fruit and red wine! Indulgence that I don't have to feel bad about!

We got to meet Baby Emma today, our friends Taylor and Nicole's beautiful daughter. She has the best chubby cheeks and gorgeous dark hair! We also found out that the owners of my Crossfit box had their daughter yesterday, sending our thoughts and prayers their way! So many new girlfriends for Ryker!
