I seriously feel like I could sleep for days. When I got home yesterday – I took an 1.5 hour nap, got up for a bit and went to bed at 9p. It was super hard to get up this morning and for a brief moment, I thought about hitting snooze. Heck I did hit snooze, but four minutes into it, I got up.  I am so inspired and motivated again to do the work, that I want to get my workout in. Now that I am seeing real results, I want to see how far it will take me. It’s so awesome to be this excited again. And not to brag, but my shoulders and arms are looking quite cut.

 

I have written before about my friend Lidia and how inspiring and strong she is. Frankly, she’s amazing and can’t possibly be human! Here is a video I found online from this year’s CrossFit Games of her getting a PR! Another example of how amazing she is –

I am going to see a bunch of people I haven’t seen in years tomorrow at a BBQ planned six months ago. When I worked at AOL and the Kids area – KOL -they were such a tight group and the lot of them are gathering at someone’s house to reconnect. I am so excited and happy that someone took the initiative to set this up and stick with it. We don’t do nearly enough re-connecting in person in the age of technology in my humble opinion. So my advice to you for this upcoming week – -reconnect with someone! You would be surprised at the joy it can bring you!

Today we did some strength maintenance – so it was bench press. And then a Met-con workout -they never seem to get easier!

I gotta say burpees are bad enough but when you add stuff to them — they are hell on wheels.
