Insanity Defined

Doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and expecting the SAME results.

My box.

Me: I made this delicious crockpot pork roast. Want some?

Boyfriend: No! I don't understand how you people don't eat beans, but eat pigs, the filthiest animal - even the Bible says so.

Me: First of all, don't you be you peopling me!

SWOD: Power Clean 5x3 (add 5 lbs to last workout) - Don't want to talk about it WOD: AMRAP in 12 minutes of... 50 m Farmers Walk (AHAP) 7 - Deadlifts 275/185  7 - Burpees After Party: Strict Chin Ups 3 x max reps

I did 6 rounds. I wanna say deadlift was 115 or it could've been 135. I don't know. All I know is I wish I could go back to bed and start the day over again. Between crapping out on the strength wod and spilling my protein powder and coconut water mix in my lap in the car, I know I'm ready for the weekend.

Tip: When following a crock pot recipe, be sure to PLUG IN the crock pot.

I'm glad that I discovered this before I awoke in the morning to find that my chicken curry had not curried.

Here's the dress I've decided to make for my wedding/party dress. Yep, I'm definitely off my rockers. But I think I'll look darn good in it.

My left forearm and wrist have been tingling since I crossfitted on Tuesday. Maybe it's because of the explosion and the toxic fumes. 

Anyway the strange thing is the tingling goes away while I do pushups. Hmm.

When I WoD... KA BOOM!! 

Ok so not really. Although some paint factory slash store had an explosion while I was crossfitting. They had to block off the whole street. Ambulances and police were everywhere. People were running out in gas masks, screaming into the street. Ok not really... not all... not even close. 

No, but seriously I think the toxic fumes affected my performance of Nancy:

SWOD: Press 5 RM - 55# WOD: "Nancy" 5 Rounds for time of...  400 m Run 15 - Overhead Squats 95/65

If prescribed is 65# then my dosage was more like 30# and my negative side effect was that I finished 21:00.

So yeah... I need some significant improvement in this next year.

Any suggestions? Try harder. 

Yeah I think you're right. I'll do that.

Paleo + CrossFit + Knitting = PaleoCrossKnitter

3 things I love. Not necessarily in equal parts. Nor always in that order depending on the day, mood, or WoD.

"Hey not another Paleo/CrossFit blog... and wait what?! Knitting?! You mean what my grandma does all day? Snore."

You're probably right there. 

However, I'm getting married next March. And what better way to make sure I follow my Paleo/CrossFit lifestyle like I'm supposed to so I can look good neked on my wedding night all the meanwhile keep my sanity than to blog. Right? Right. (Or have I secretly lost my mind?)  

Only time will tell. 

P.S. (Did I mention I plan to knit my dress?) No? Ok I thought I hadn't.
