I'm so immature.....

Now that I'm done with week 3 of Crossfit I'm feeling like a pro, at least that's what I tell myself when I'm too sore to move and need to get back to being tortured. What has me giggling? Crossfit words. Heheheeheh

Snatch - hehhehehehehe. Makes me giggle every time
Thruster - uh, thrust, thruster, hahahhahah
WOD (pronounced wad) - WOD of what?
Clean and Jerk - again, giggles
Box - I'm too immature to do this.......

Of course when in the zone I try not to let my immaturity show. I keep the giggles in - unless Sam is by me. If  he's close then the giggles tend to be contagious.

We just got back from Super H Mart (Asian grocery store) where we did our Paleo-ish shopping for the week. Tons of veggies, fruit, and meats and spent $108. Pretty excited since our weekly grocery budget was $200 and we've been looking for ways to cut it down. Sundays is also free sample day. It's my fav - who doesn't love to walk around and try free Korean food? It was a little crowded, but totally worth it for the great produce and cheap prices.

I picked up a Naked Coconut water to drink on the way home. I've seen this coconut water floating around so much lately. If you know me I have a slight obsession with coconut. I LURVE it. In everything - lotion, bars, smoothies, chocolate.......yum! One serving has more potassium than a banana - and I've got to think less sugar than one. I did really like it and only 60 calories a box (hehehehehe, there's that word again). They have a few different flavors, but I went Pure for my first tasting. There was mango, Lychee (not even sure what that is), and Pineapple.

I did let my peeps (we've emailed therefore they are my peeps) at Skratch Labs about adding a coconut flavor. I do LOVE their pineapple flavor. It's my new favorite and I love how I don't feel gross drinking it after a really hard workout.

I'm going to try and make my own coconut butter next. Wish me luck!

Strong is the New Skinny

 Who wants to get me this????????

Week 1 of Crossfit. Whew! Who knew? It's HARD!!!!!!!!!! I did my intro WOD last Saturday, then WODs on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. They were all tough, very different, and awesome. I'm totally hooked. I'm also totally sore. Sam and I even came up with the Crossfit hug (patent pending). You just stand tummy to tummy because your arms don't work.

I overcame some fears through my first week of Crossfit. First, I went to Crossfit without Sam (I still had a friend meet me, I'm not that brave). I have a tendency to let Sam break the ice for me with new people. Of course, then I sweep in with hilarious comments. Second, I did my first WOD without puking. I'm terrified of puking. I'm thrown up a total of 5 times since I was a kid. No joke. I hate it. So puking during a workout, in a gym, in front of strangers? Nope. Not this girl. Third, I did wall walks. Push up position, feet walk up the wall, and the idea is to eventually get so close you can kiss the wall. No make out sessions for me....yet. I'll slip that wall the tongue soon enough - wont even know what hit em!

This week we are eating Paleo for dinner each night. Getting used to Paleo now and so far so good. I've cheated a few times: margarita, red wine, peeps. Each one completely justified and delicious.

This weeks dinner menu. Jealous? It's awesome, dry erase marker, and easy for Chef Sam to see and follow. Don't worry, we did eat Sunday - but I wrote the menu Sunday night, so seemed silly to fill it in.

We also took the boys out to look at the neighborhood lights. Their "MiniVan Express" tickets were a hit. We did Christmas music, popcorn, and fuzzy jammies. To be young at Christmas time.....the best!

I will leave you with this delicious treat: chocolate dipped peppermint peep. What?!

Product review coming soon from Skratch Labs. I'm pretty excited about it. I've heard alot about them. They also have The Feed Zone Cookbook - check it out!
