So the weekend turned out to be highly productive and filled with tons of fun! Woke up Saturday morning and headed to the gym, did a really fun team wod. I was pleasantly surprised at my performance seeing that I had consumed more booze over the past week then I do in a year probably. It was a nice concoction of every movement you could think of. Oh heck, here it is... “Choose your own WOD-venture”
This is a team WOD and will be completed in teams of 4.
At each “Choice” the team must choose which exercise they will do and then all members must complete the RX’d distance or rep scheme for the exercise chosen. Only one choice per team is allowed. e.g. A team cannot have two members choose to do handstand pushups while the other two choose squats. In between choices each member must complete each of the exercises at their “Base Station.”
At the Base Station team members must complete 15 reps of each exercise. The base station is completed once all team members have completed 15 reps of all 4 exercises. Once the base station is complete the team moves on to the next choice.
Base Station:
15 KB swings (1.5 pood/1 pood)
15 Thrusters (45lbs/35lbs)
15 Ab Mat sit-ups
15 Box Jumps (24″/20″)

It's confusing, I know. Head trainer, Chris had to explain 6,000 times. But we all eventually got it. Short story long, my team finished in 28:05 and I am still walking around like a crippled woman. It's fine... Ill be okay.
So later we went to Dinner for Oliver's 12th birthday and to see Iron Man 3, which was pretty awesome besides my RLS. Sunday was full of yard and house work, planting flowers, building stones and some Dracula coffin like cement thing to carry around, pressure washing, new BBQ purchase, laundry and ended with beers and tacos with friends! Whew!
Today is day 1 of a reset on this bod, Scott is going to do this with me cause honestly...our stomachs hate us and it doesn't feel good. TMI, sorry.
So these tacos were a recreation of some tacos we ate down in Mexico. I'd say I got a A on this one.
Authentic Mexican Chicken Tacos
1 lb chicken breasts or thighs (I used both)
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ancho chili powder
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
Toppings
Chopped cilantro
Diced white onion
Valentino hot sauce
White corn tortillas
Combine chicken and all ingredients in a ziplock or bowl and let marinate for 4 or more hours.
Grill the chicken on your BBQ until cooked through. Chop chicken into tiny pieces.
To make the taco, heat tortilla in a hot pan on both sides and add some chicken, cilantro, onion and squeeze a lime wedge. Dash a little of the hot sauce and your finished!
Eat as many as you want, Scott had 7, Mike had 9 and Chris had 10. Me? I had 2. So however many you have, they are still yum.
Mike, enjoying his tacos!
