I am hoping with this amp and some training on my weaknesses in my "spare" time that I'll be ready for the open in February even though I haven't been prepping for it all year like I have in the past. Sometimes less is more as my body is responding very well to the regimen I am on now. I have little to no soreness but I am getting stronger and faster in all of my workouts.
I have also signed up for Lurong with CFE which will keep me accountable on my food. This is so important coming into the open. I know last year doing Lurong up until the open that I was lean and mean and ready to compete!! So, we'll see what happens.
I've started to add some personal training clients to my schedule and it's nice to be coaching. I love working with people and seeing their successes in the gym. Between that and my classes at CFE and my bootcamps - I still get to work doing something I love and for that I am VERY grateful!!

Friday December 16th: So I figured out Friday's are Hero WOD's!! Manuel was today. 5 Rounds of 3 Minute Rope Climb, 2 Min Squats, 2 Min Push-ups, 3 Min to run a 400 M: I ended up getting 30 rope climbs, 269 Squats, 160 Pushups and squeaked in my runs for a total of 5. THIS WAS SO MENTALLY MISERABLE!! I honestly spent the entire 3rd round trying to find an excuse that I could give to Nick to get me out of there. Nothing ever escaped my lips and I kept moving and working but the entire 3rd round was negative mind games...but in all honesty we all know I would NEVER EVER quit!! For this workout I just kept telling myself - so what, you are hurting, this man gave his life for our country!! Get over it!!
Saturday December 17th: CFE was hosting a Free Community WOD and I drug Jim out the door and into the gym for the first time since it wasn't "ours!" I am SO glad we did this. I needed it, Jim needed it and we had an awesome workout partner Matt Lundy as our 3rd victim for an awesome WOD with friends. Love my community and the new community I am becoming a part of.
My son came over on Saturday afternoon as we were supposed to travel to Fort Wayne for the Tuttle family Christmas party. It was cancelled due to the weather...we spent the day eating yummy food, drinking beer and decorating sugar cookies. One of our favorite traditions! I found my dad's old cookie cutters in my cookie cutter box. I love carrying on the traditions that my dad did with me...Brandon picked up a couple chickens from Martins and we had an entire chicken leftover. So, I decided to make some chicken salad. It's always delicious.
Chicken Salad:
Ingredients:
Chicken
Avocado
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Grapes
Raisins
Slivered Almonds
(you could also use, colored peppers, apples, anything crunchy you have in your refrigerator!)
I top with pepper and turmeric.
Cut up the chicken, avocado and grapes. Add raisins and slivered almonds. Stir in a little olive oil and sprinkle with pepper and turmeric. You could eat this out of a bowl or make a bowl with a colored pepper and eat the bowl!!
One of my favorite easy go -to's. Works with tuna too!!
