ANALYSIS
I was dreading this WOD. In my head it just sounded so long - and really hard work. Now that it's done, I like it!! I could have done without the burpees (obviously ;). I had zero speed getting those done after lifting. But I enjoyed working on "getting under the bar" and performed really well the second AMRAP. Solid performance.
In regards Paleo challenge, I am feeling MUCH better today and am hoping moving forward all withdrawal symptoms are gone. Two new food obsessions: balsamic (on everything) and fish for breakfast. Weird, I know but these two flavors have been the source of my cravings this week. So this morning I had a simple egg and salmon scramble along with some crunchy cornichons. Lunch was quick and easy with 1/2 glass of coconut milk (which I am learning to like), portobello mushroom cap stuffed with browned meat, onions and pepper (seasoned with garlic, mustard seed, red pepper flakes and S&P), heirloom tom's drenched in balsamic - amazing. I poured the extra balsamic over what was left of my stuffed mushrooms when I was done. Continued deliciousness.
Heading over to a friend's for dinner tonight and making chicken marsala and warm arugula salad - and maybe the peach pie which I am now obsessed with because its awesome!
