Okay so check out this picture, doesn't it look like some guy is about to kill us with this chair?! I thought it was hilarious. So I guess The Village could have been dangerous. ;)
So we have the next 4 weeks at the gym to work on our gymnastics. Oh yeah...This should be good. Hopefully I will grow in this department :) I suck at this kind of stuff. I am scared to be upside down. I have never in my life been able to do a cartwheel either. Dangit. I know, that's redic. Every time I tell someone that they look at me in sheer disgust. I'm SORRY. Yesterday we did pull ups. EMOM for 15 min. I graduated to the blue band. It was hard, but I did it. And today my my elbow-pits are freaking sore. Then we did a 21-15-9 of power cleans and box jumps. I pushed myself to do the cleans at 75# cause Jason said they should be heavy. Oh don't worry Jason, they were heavy. I cant believe the rx was 135/115#. That's insane. One of my reps in the set of 21 I shrugged it up and didn't get under it (suprise surprise) and it was like slow motion setting it back down. Kinda funny. No? Guess you had to be there! ha. Any who, finished the wod in 7:20 at 75# and 20" box jumps. Scott and Mike KILLED it rxed. I wasn't sure if Scott was going to make it off the ground afterwards. Had me a little worried. :)) Such a stud he is.
I met Annie at the track this morning for our endurance homework. We both had the same drills to work on so we figured, why not do them together?! My leg still hurts. I am icing it as we speak. Good job me!
I had zucchini soup for breakfast again today. But this time I fried up 3 pieces of bacon and chopped them up and put them in my soup. YUM! Just as I had suspected, it was delicious!! I am trying to think of what sort of dessert I am going to make this week. HMMM.... Any ideas? Any cravings? I'm thinking something chocolaty. I absolutely LOVE it when our friend Mike goes out of town because I get huge bags of fresh veggies. I mean we miss you Mike, but I love the fresh produce. :)) Last night he dropped by some zooks, green & purple beans, onions, peppers and something else, I haven't checked it out yet. Thanks again Mike!
I got a coupon for $10 off your purchase at Victoria Secret. Maybe that will be on the agenda this weekend...I need to go bra shopping. My strapless bra doesn't fit the less of boobs I don't have anymore. Dangit. Oh well. I am getting muscles in return. And that's good.
K so last night we ate some more of our old friend Wilber. I discovered that I do not like bone-in pork chops. They are a pain in the ass to eat. They sure are tasty though. I made a blackberry glaze to go on these chops, and it was delicious. Fruit and pork just go dandy together. Such a merry little combo. I want to say the word marmalade with this dinner. I don't know why.
Blackberry Chops
12 oz of fresh blackberries
1 cup organic balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
Combine in small saucepan and cook on low until berries get tender. Mash with fork until berries are broken down and simmer to thicken.
Now turn on your BBQ to medium heat. While your sauce is cooking mix in a small bowl the following ingredients...
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp garlic powder
Rub onto both sides of pork chops and toss those suckers on the grill. Take 1/2 cup of the sauce and use as a glaze to coat the chops with while they cook. Turning every couple minutes, reapply sauce and cook for a total of 12-14 minutes. Not sure if it was just our grill, but we caught some flames. So be careful people.
After they are completely cooked, toss on a plate with whatever side dish you'd like and dig in!
We had sauteed zook and onions and green salad!
