I was having a little trouble falling asleep last night because my mind was racing with
all of the things I needed to get done around the house, so I took a teeny tiny
little melatonin tablet.
It’s not like Benadryl, which usually knocks me out for
sixteen days and gives me psychedelic dreams of unicorns pooping rainbows.
Melatonin is more natural, designed to help you get back in
a regular sleep pattern. It does nothing for Matt, but for me…it was awesome. Best
sleep in a long time…until that alarm scared me straight off the side of the
bed.
I’m usually one of those people who wakes up about five
minutes before the alarm goes off…obviously not the case today.
Fabulous.
Crossfit this morning was way better than crossfit yesterday
morning. I OWNED this workout.
5×1 hang clean + power jerk
5×1 clean & jerk, any style (power or full clean; power
or split jerk)
5 rounds for time of
5 deadlifts 275/155
25 Abmat sit-ups
5 deadlifts 275/155
25 Abmat sit-ups
Deadlifts and situps? I can do those all day.
Actually, I wanted to stop and cry at the start of round 4
when my abs started burning, but it’s kind of hard to quit when your trainer –
who looks shockingly a lot like Vin Diesel, is standing over you screaming.
But it’s done, and now I need water and coffee and more
coffee.
We’re leaving after work to get a head-start on our trip to
Alabama. We’re stopping over in Georgia tonight to see my sister, but we won’t
get to her house until after midnight…but that will be ok, because with a new
baby in the house, she doesn’t sleep anyway.
Road trip snacks are packed, but all of the clothes I packed
last night will have to be re-packed after work tonight, because we looked at
the forecast for northern AL this morning and it’s a 100% chance of rain on the
4th and 5th. Less swimsuits, more rain jackets.
Snacks!
I might have also topped off my Kindle with some new books,
too.
Today:
Breakfast - Black coffee, bacon/sausage/egg
bake
Lunch - Leftover roast, watermelon
Snack - Strawberries, baby tomatoes
Dinner - Salad night! Probably once we get on the road. Grilled chicken, veggies, olive oil and
vinegar, apple slices
Paleo Website of the
Day: http://everydaypaleo.com/ - I have this girl's cookbook too. Excellent.
CrossFit Website of
the Day: Confessions of CrossFitters. Hilarious. And true.
Today I love: Getting to see my sister tonight! Or early tomorrow morning, depending on traffic.
