I finally made it into the gym today for a 5 am workout! I set both alarms last night, thinking there is now way I'm actually getting up that early. It seemed especially impossible since I'm still on leave and have nowhere else that I "need" to be today. My friends Misty and Stephanie started a squatting program today and were planning to squat at 5:15 and then do the 6 am WOD. So, like a crazy person, I decided to join. I will be SORE tomorrow! I hate how low my squat weights are right now, but I'm just not too comfortable with getting 100+ pounds on the bar with my shoulder mobility and back flexibility not being what it was two months ago. But, work in progress right?
The WOD was four rounds of a 400 meter run and 50 air squats. Yep, we decided to squat and then run and squat. I thought I wasn't going to be able to even shuffle along for the last 400 meter run, but Danny offered some much needed motivation while we were running in the 15 degree, dark morning. I sped up to try and beat him and guess what...I did! Those last 5 air squats got me though, and he ended the WOD a few seconds before I did. All before 7 am!
I think I mentioned it before, but some CrossFit friends just recently had their baby girl at 25 weeks. There had been some complications with the pregnancy so she's here just a tad bit early. The good news is that she's doing great! They are working with the same NICU team that we did when Ryker got here early, and while he wasn't as early as she was, I kind of understand some of what they are dealing with right now. We were talking about everything this morning after the WOD and it brought back all of the memories of Ryker's first few weeks while he was staying at the hospital. When I got home this morning to my two sleeping boys, I was like a little kid on Christmas morning waiting for them to wake up. When I finally heard Ryker making noise in his room, I was happy to go get his morning started. I held my strong little man and thought about how crazy it is to think of Ryker with a CPAP machine, IV's and the bili lights. I was so excited for him to get bigger and now I wish I could slow down time!
Ryker, his first week in the hospital.
This silly little guy is still on the lower end of the weight scale, but he's so strong and getting bigger, way too fast, every day!
Vic and I are headed over to Target for some basic shopping and I'm hoping to check out some frames, shelves and a little decor for our big wall that our entertainment center used to be on. It used to be full with that furniture and now we just have this gorgeous mirror from Pier 1 and our chair, so it needs a little love. I'll definitely do some before and after pictures!
Breakfast: Post WOD Chocolate, Strawberry Protein shake with one scoop of that Carnivor protein, one good handful of frozen strawberries, two tbs of ground flax seed and a cup of unsweetened almond milk. After I dropped the baby off with the nanny, Vic made our eggy, chorizo goodness. I know, we're boring, but I'm telling you that breakfast is the s**t!
Lunch: Instead of a taco salad today I just ate the taco meat like nachos with my plantain chips. You don't even miss the sour cream and cheese that much!
For dinner we're doing a meatza out of the Well Fed cookbook. I'm interested to try this meat crust, cheese-less veggie pizza. Cross your fingers that it tastes as good as it looks!
