A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

Girl in a CrossFit gym doing a pistol or one legged squat

Holy heck. I haven’t been this sore in a long time. Heavy front squats and then 100 pistols the next day…not a good recipe. Then I decided to so some GHD sit-ups, which I haven’t done in forever, and that was icing on the cake. If you do CrossFit, remember when you first started and you were sore pretty much all the time? That is how I felt last week. I felt better after taking a rest day, but man I was struggling for a few days. It felt good to get that feeling back.

I know I kind of said this last week, but I think I’m finally in my grove again. I am starting to work out in the mornings again and have been really enjoying it. For a long time, I always worked out in the morning. I had a corporate job and I never felt like going to the gym after work, so mornings it was. Well I got out of the routine for a couple years and now I am back in it and it has been helping so much.

Working out in the morning starts my day off right. I feel good that I already got in some movement and then I don’t have to worry about fitting in a workout later in the day. I think it also sets you up for good decisions. I’m not one to binge on unhealthy things anymore, but I feel that when I workout in the morning, I want to eat healthier throughout the day, or at least at breakfast. You need to properly refuel if you want to get stronger and leaner. While I’m all about balance and love some pancakes, I’ve been making a green protein smoothie (similar to this) after my workouts and feel great. I make sure it has carbs, protein, and some healthy fats to keep me full. I look forward to it every morning and makes me feel energized.

If you are struggling with finding some motivation, try working out in the morning. Schedule your class the night before that way you have to get up and go. It might be a struggle at first, but after you get it done, you’ll feel 100x better!

    I like seeing how you’re balancing long runs and CrossFit. I’m kind of doing something similar right now, but you’re one of my CrossFit inspirations Kelly. That pistol squat is DEEPPP!

      Aw, thank you Emily! I really like the balance of shorter high intensity stuff and the moderate longer runs!
