Thrilling Thursday

Its cold today...LIKE REALLY COLD!! I am thankful that I got to sleep in a little bit. I will tell you one thing, my troubles with sleeping are temporarily fixed! AMEN! I guess waking up at 4:40am makes you tired. Who would have known...Ive also been taking melatonin and it works wonderfully! HIGHLY recommend that if you have troubles sleeping. That and kava. Good stuff.

So I'm just sitting here on our new 1960's velvet couch. Its freaking awesome. Some (or most) might think its hideous, but Scott has a thing for that era and I love the retro feel to it! So yesterday we spontaneously decided to 86 the sectional to be the gym lounge couch and try this beaut at home. We already have 2 sweet rockers that match nicely. I never realized how HUGE the sectional was until it was gone. Our living room feels so empty now! Time to revamp and do some shopping! And painting....whoop! So that's whats going on in the home front.

You could say training is going pretty good. I am on week 4. Last week was a max week, I didn't perform as good as I wanted BUT I did PR on some lifts and PR match which I will take over nothing. Snatch and Clean & Jerks are HARD. Glad for this week is low percentages so I am working my tech more (much needed). Why is the jerk so hard?! I feel like its the hardest out of them all. Just gotta keep doing it. Repetition is key. As a matter of fact, today there are jerks. LETS DO THIS!!

Tomorrow is a big day for us at Eternia Athletics! We are having our Open House/Max out session with some local lifters. Its going to be a blast! We are going to have a snack table set up and mingle with people. While watching our platforms loaded with awesome people giving us a little show of snatch and c&j.  Should be a good time. I mean lets be honest, food and lifting...that's like two of my favorist things. And most of everyone else that will be there feels the same way. BaBAM!

THEN.... Saturday we are headed to Medford. Rogue Valley CrossFit is hosting the "Wishing on a WOD" event. This event benefits the Make a Wish foundation. Good things going on here people. Go check it out, and if you live in the area. GO! Here's the link to read more http://roguevalleycrossfit.com/wishing-WOD/ 

So last night I made homemade taco pizza, mainly because Scott LOVES taco pizza. But it was delicious, no doubt about that!! I bought pre-made pizza dough and pretty much built a taco on top. YUM! Then the other day I made cinnamon roll waffles. Just bought cinnamon rolls from the store (I know, I was being lazy) and put them in the waffle maker. Neither of these meals were very...um... healthy?! BUT I enjoyed them both at the time of day that my eating reggie allows. That way my body can use and burn the way it should, So what I am trying to say is I don't feel guilty, or fluffier. So its a win-win. I need to make cookies and send them to our good friend out in Utah. Next week, Johnny. Be patient.

Enough rambles for one day I would say!!! Ha. Time to go be productive. Love ya all, to the MAX! Pin It Now!
