Was anyone else naughty over Christmas with all the tempting turkey stuffing, cheesecakes, pastries and much much more?! I was =(
We had lots on the menu from zucchini frittas with dahl (delicious), beef wellington, brownies and icecream (I may have got sucked into these...) and lots of salad and veggies. It was amazing! A great way to enjoy Christmas with a bunch of girls, on a mountain, in Canada! It wasnt feeling very Christmasy until we had our dinner. Too much work and no play..
I have been working split shifts this week and haven't had the chance to really cook anything =( Aaron has been Master Chef the past few days and made amazing stuffed capsicum and burgers with the left overs which I have been eating for breakfast with egg, avocado and tomato. So good!!!! I have been eating my dinners at work as I dont knock off until around 10 or 11pm. I usually opt for the wild salmon as it is the most paleo item on the menu. I had lamb shanks last night and the pork tenderloin the night before. And I have been pretty good taking my banana, apple and two mandarins to work to snack on during the day. However, the deli next door make these AMAZING cookies which I really should stop eating....
I am feeling pretty crap after this past week of non-paleo foods and am really noticing the difference as I have been suffering severe bloating and my pimples are back =( So I have to work on my snacks during the day as they tend to wander to the cookies or a muesli bar. I am always good with my breakfast as I have all my paleo foods at home but its when I am at work constantly rushing around serving and never sitting down that I go for the easy snack option of a cookie which I can pick at... Not good enough.. I have bought the mandarins now which I peel before work and leave on the counter at the back so I can pick at one of those every now and then which seems to be working. My lunches have been ok if I come home during my split shift and get something to eat. The dinners are hard as I dont know what exact ingredients are in the dish or what is used to prepare them i.e. oil, butter, etc. and a lot of the meals have mashed potato or are covered in bread crumbs or have a creamy sauce or gravy over it... There is no fridge for me to put a packed dinner in so its my only choice if I want to eat dinner before midnight..
I haven't done many workouts over the past two weeks. Three actually and I am starting to see the consequences! Tighter jeans =(
This work out we did outside and it was -18C! I am not a big fan of working out in the cold as it stuffs up your lungs and you have a numb cough for days afterwards. I used a wooden block to do my clusters which Aaron found in the woods. It was pretty awkward but still did the job.
-WOD-
AMRAP in 20min of:
200m Run, uphill
10x Cluster with 15kg wood block
Score- 6rds + 100m of run
I got both these workouts off Crossfit Darwin site. My gym which I miss SO much!

-WOD-
Tabata: 8rds of 20sec work + 10sec rest
Push Ups - 10
Sit Ups - 10
Ring Dips (assisted) - 7
Burpees - 6
Total - 33
This next workout is from the Crossfit Tallahassee Offsite WOD page. It is like the song '12 Days of Christmas'. Goes like this; 1 rep jumping jack; 2 reps box jumps, 1 rep jumping jack; 3 reps pop-ups, 2 box jumps, 1 jumping jack; 4 diamond push-ups, 3 pop-ups, 2 box jumps, 1 jumping jack.
Go to the next number, perform that number of reps of that item then count your way back down to the first item (jumping jacks). Continue this pattern until you get to number 12, then count all the down to 1 for the last time. Very exhausting..
