Well yesterday I did. Or maybe it's just my car that has bad luck. I have owned my car almost 5 years in December. December 13th to be exact. In the almost 5 years of our relationship I have only hand washed her like maybe 2 times. The second time being yesterday. I remember the one time I did a couple years ago I royally sucked at it. The side of the doors had dirt streaks still and water spots everywhere. I also remember getting a side ache from bending over to wash it. WOW! That's pathetic. Yesterday it didn't even phase me! I actually had fun washing it. Fun? That might be pushing it. But it wasn't bad. UNTIL... a huge crack spread crossed my windshield when I was rinsing it. Not just one, but two. Sweet right? Nope. Not sweet at all. Whaseva, life rolls on.
What was worse about yesterday?
My weaknesses came out and stabbed me in the tummy at cf. I came home from class and cried. Now if anyone really knows me, I don't cry. Ever. I am not an emotional person. I only cry when I get really mad. Or if I am watching Dave Matthews perform "sister" live with my sissy by my side. But anyways, we worked on the snatch. 10 x 1-1-1 from the hang, then knee, then ground. BLEH. I think why I got so upset about it is because I really am trying so so so hard. But I still struggle doing it correctly. God bless Phi and Scott for having to deal with my emotional escapades. I called Apphia and cried to her about it. I remember saying "This is so retarded, I am crying to you about my snatch" then we both laughed it off. They both put it into a nice retrospect for me. 2 months ago, I would have NEVER ever even tried it. I would have just given up. Now, I try, and finish. It makes me feel good knowing that mentally I am stronger then I ever have been. And as Scott says "Babe, think where you will be in a year." They're right. Nuff said. New day today :)
Who wakes up at 4:30 to do trigger point? I do. Well I didn't really have a choice because I needed Scott to show me what to do. My calves are so bound up and hurt really bad. Probably from running wrong, and then jumping rope yesterday. Ouch. My calves were cramping and my feet too. I have been saying I need to get those double unders down. Well I should have worked on them cause the wod had them in it yesterday. So I had to do 3x the amount in single unders. So needless to say, my calves and shins and everything below the knee hurts. So this morning I did three different exercises with these contraptions. They seriously help. It's awesome!
Even cute with the stripes!
So I met Annie (my accountability partner) at the track this morning and we did our homework for the endurance program. We even did the optional wod, so that means extra credit right?! I think so. It was fun. Back at it tonight for more running for the wod. Yay! Then guess what?!
I don't have to make food tonight. We are going over to Sean and Amy's for paleo pizza. This Amy, she is quite the cook. She makes a mean pizza. So yummy! She's going to let me share the recipe with all yall! So sometime next week I will have it up. How exciting is that!!
This weekend is a Paleo Potluck at Fish Hatchery Park for our box. We are missing it. BOOOOO! They are so fun! And I love seeing everyone out of the gym. It's great. Next time :))
For today's recipe I thought it would be fitting to do the best chicken wings you'll ever have. Seriously. I mean it. Scott goes big with these. Every time. We aim to please around here. We took these to the last potluck and everyone devoured them. In like 5 minutes. These are great to take to potlucks (like the potluck tomorrow), BBQ's, or just crush out a tray to yourself. Whatever tickles your fancy.
Chicken Wings
2 lbs of chicken wings or drumsticks (I prefer the little ones)
1 tbsp fresh rosemary
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp garlic powder
1/2 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp dried sage
1 small bottle of Frank's Red Hot
Combine all ingredients and marinate wings for as long as you'd like, an hour or 2 works. But of course the longer the better :))
Throw these little boogers on your grill for about 40 minutes, flipping them every 10 minutes to get a nice crisp, or you can bake them at 350F for 45-50 minutes. Whichever you prefer!
Dig In! Makes sure you have a napkin ready, they aren't the cleanest things to eat! :))
