So, December 1 has come and gone and that was my ultimatum for deciding if I was going to compete in the 2017 CF Open or not.  I have decided that I will be doing the open and giving it my all, I don't know how to do it any other way.  So, with that said, I have been trying to get to the gym on a more regular basis.

Monday November 28:  5 min EMOM - 40 Dub's.  12 Min EMOM 3 PP - I worked up to 85#.  10 Min AMRAP 7 C2B, 7S2OH, 7 HRPU.

Note:  I haven't had a coach for a very long time...I am learning so much about myself and my movement patterns and some bad habits I've developed.  My focus is to change these bad habits to make me a better athlete.  In each and every class I have learned a new tip or new focus to make me a better me.

  2. P.s. What are date rolls and what hash browns are you eating? Are they homemade?

    1. My hubby makes them by shredding red potatoes and cooking them in coconut oil...and adding tons of spices to make them healthy. Since you aren't cleared on potatoes you could do sweet potatoes - these are just as yummy but the sweet potato is wetter than the white potato so they take longer to cook.

  3. Date rolls: I buy in the produce department at walmart. They are dates that are food processed then dipped in unsweetened coconut. SO SO YUMMY! You could easily make your own.
