Thank Heaven today is Friday! If you are feeling like me then you are a little bit tired from your routines, however I push through because otherwise I will disappoint myself and that is a very unpleasant feeling to me. I like to know that no matter what I gave the best of me. I am up today by 8am it's Good Friday so the 6 and 7am classes are scheduled to begin at 9am instead. I drink my tall glass of water, espresso coffee, and grab an orange to head out. Today I am going to try to WOD in the morning hours; I have plans to get my hair done. My warm up is 200 single jump ropes really trying to not stop in between but my body is pretty fatigued and I am only able to jump an average of 55 at a time. This feeling is frustrating and I know to listen to my body. I complete all 200 repetitions, decide to do a mobility WOD instead. If you have not done a good mobility WOD, you are in deficit. I find it necessary, again because I push as hard as my body allows me and I am bound to get stiff muscles now and then. Let's go into the mobility WOD. I go against the wall, leaving a 2 inch gap, I place my feet on the wall and push my hips in. I hold this movement for at least 10 minutes. I do a few more range of motions to release the tension from my muscles, specifically targeting my quads and get going. Now that I know I am going to be on the road most of the day I eat 4 boiled eggs, only 1 yolk, drink green tea and take my apple with me; to the salon I go. By the time my manicure, pedicure are done I eat my apple before we move on to the hair. I know that process will take longer and I am not willing to skip my snack.
It's noon time now, I am done and just on time to have my lunch. Right next door to the salon, there is a grocery store where I bought 2 cans of tuna and toast crackers. I go visit my mother and make my tuna with NO mayo but instead use a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil, chop an onion and dice an entire tomato. I place a scoop on my crackers and it is a delicious lunch. The question is how much of the tuna did I eat? I ate all of it, alone! Both cans! I almost forgot to mention while at the grocery store I also bought a Superfood drink and had it with my lunch. After being with my mom for a couple hours I head home and by 4pm I've already have 3 bottles of water and about to go coach so I take another bottle with me. Fridays the last class I coach ends by 7:30pm, this gives me time to go back home and get ready for a fun weekend. This evening we are being invited to a birthday party and we have made arrangements to attend. I eat a handful of peanuts and start getting ready; party starts at 8:30pm and since I know we normally run out of energy by midnight I need to get there as soon as possible. Off to the party we go.... I'm there, spot the waitress first thing I order is a glass of water and although it may not make sense to you; I am also ordering a martini. From time to time a little bit of alcohol assists me in making sense out of non-sense. Get it? Alright, my significant other orders wings and I am eating about 10 of those, plain and grilled of course, a side of carrot sticks and celery NO dipping sauce. Party is getting nice, I am pretty tempted to order another martini but my commitment is greater than my temptation so I will order some fish tacos with no sour cream. For dessert, of course a had about a 2X2 inch portion of cake and let's call this a night. My energy by 11:45 is gone, where is my honey? I gotta go home!
So what exactly is a Mobility WOD? I tried to Google it and now have an idea that it has a lot to do with stretching...
