Day 2 of 42

Thank God! Today, my wonderful husband took the early morning shift and coached the 6 and 7am classes for me. By 8am I had our breakfast ready to go, an oatmeal I make with skim milk. Also, please note that I buy the oatmeal from scratch, not the bags in the box. I've already had a tall glass of water so I am having a cup of coffee (the 4oz cup) with my breakfast. For snack, at 11am I ate chunks of fresh pineapples; aside from being a sweet treat, pineapples naturally detoxes our body from toxins. Be really cautious of the amount you take though, I am only having about 6 of those chunks, yeah with another glass of water. Feeling refreshed? I thought so!
I already told you guys I get my lunch delivered to me, so by 12pm I am not hungry so I've put it away for 1:30pm and it is a baked chicken tight and leg beautifully garnished with fresh parsley, yet another detoxifier which supports the immune system when it's fresh. They also sent me a cup of lentils and lots of steamed veggies (carrots, squash and cauliflower). I am going to have to tip these people well because they are doing a great job with my lunches! Eating healthy was never so fabulous!! Right?
Although, I am not a big fan of supplements or protein bars, I really prefer to eat my protein from the natural source sometimes it is just not possible due to time and remember I did tell you on day1 day preparation would be a key component to our success. So, I've bought myself a few bars for days like today, I have to take my daughter to a doctor's appointment and that means I will be out. Therefore, I take a bar with me and by 3pm that's what I am having. Have you noticed that we are eating more and never hungry? A glass of water when I come home and ready to go aaaand WOD!
5pm sharp at my box, my warm up, I am trying to improve to the amount of push ups I can do at once so I go for 20 in a row. Going all the way on your chest and all the way to fully extending your arm and please do NOT do the worm. After 30 seconds, I go for 25, another 30 seconds of rest and I go for 30 in a row. Yessss! I got this!! I move on to another exercise that I want to master, toe to bar, I will start to upload videos so if you are not currently at a CrossFit box you learn what these moves are. I go for as many as I can do without letting go off the bar. the first one I do 8, raising my feet all the way up and my toes actually touch the bar. The second attempt, I am able to do 6, my third attempt I do 7, fourth and fifth still stuck in 7. I gotta video myself to analyze why I am not able to get more.  Now, I look at the white board and the WOD is 4 rounds of 2 minutes max snatches, 2 minutes rest in between each round. I'm down! I love snatches. I used to not like them but that was back when I wasn't getting a good understanding of this Olympic move. Now, I got it so it became one of my favorites. I am going to go for 65lbs because I am anticipating doing lots of repetitions. I ended up getting a total of 68 and my arms are completely on fire.

I coach someone for about 30 minutes or so and do a mini WOD of my own with her. Grab a kettlebell (20lbs) and swing it but from an angle. I made a video, no worries.... you'll see what I mean. I push to do 3 rounds of 10 on each side within a few minutes. Now, I am done. I want to go home and cook. I am baking a whole chicken, and also in the oven ripe plantain, yellow peppers and zucchini. I cut half of the breast portion of my yummy baked chicken, put on my plate a half of a half of that plantain, some zucchini and peppers. Drink 4oz of pure grape juice and it's a wrap. I need some precious rest.
