April 5, Thursday (day 5)

 FOOD:
Breakfast:
Coffee
cup of oatmeal

Snack:
Protein bar

Lunch:
small greek salad (lettuce, garbanzo beans, cukes and light feta), no dressing (usually when we go to coney, I order chili fries...not today and I ate no pita bread)

Snack:
handful of cashews

Dinner:
We went to The Lodge
I had a Santa Fe Salad with barely no dressing (I dip my fork in the dressing and hardly used any)
1 large Cherry Wheat Beer (enjoyed every drop)

Water:
50oz and still drinking

EXERCISE:
Crossfit:
warm up:
Gymnastics: I used the yellow band and did one pull up.  Basically it is not like using a band at all, but in my mind I needed it.  Tried to do one unassisted pull up....just short.  URG.

Skill: 200 KB swings
I used a 25 pound kb.  I did the first 50 above my head and then saw that I didn't have to.  Did 5 knees to chest then 50 more kb swings, 5 knees to chest, 50 more kb swings, 5 knees to chest and finished 200 kb swings in 9:21. 



This is the result of the 200 kb swings. I know I could have used the 35# weight, but I had to get home, shower and get to tennis.

Got home, showered (my arms were trembling when I blow dried my hair from the pain in my forearms aching) and took Matthew & Patrick to tennis.  Matthew & I took an hour lesson with Charlie at 10 am.  My hands ached when I gripped my racket from my blister/calluses.   While Patrick took his lesson, Matthew and I played some more on the other court. 

THOUGHTS:
Boy, am I tired today.  I am glad I got to cross fit. I wanted to sleep in so bad, but I had to take my car in at 7:30 so I knew today was a day I had to do both.  But my body is tired and achy.

I even bought cupcakes for the kids with the Tigers' emblem on them and haven't touched one nor will I!

I am getting up in the morning and going to CF at 9!
