Good morning, friends! I hope your week is off to a wonderful start! šŸ™‚

My week started bright and early at 4:45 AM. I was up and at ’em for the 5:15 AM class at CrossFit. I hadn’t attended the early-bird class for a couple of weeks now, so I was especially glad to get back to it. My day goes SO MUCH BETTER if it starts with a workout! #fact

The workout at CrossFit was a good one. After a warm-up, we worked on Front Squats and then headed into the WOD, which was two quickie workouts with a 5-minute rest in between. I scaled the OHS to #65, which was a good idea after the Double Unders (and it being 6:00 AM in the morning). I was just not feeling strong. I used a band for the pull-ups and managed to do all 30 of the HSPUs, but they were… ugly. I finished the workout in 16-something.

On the way to and from the gym, I listened to an episode of Revolution Health Radio about “why your brain makes you fat,” and it was super interesting. A lot of us get wrapped up in the whole idea of “calories in versus calories out,” and there is so much MORE to the weight loss story. It’s definitely worth a listen!

When I arrived home, Mal was just packing up his stuff to leave for school and Quinn was still sleeping – and he slept until 6:45 AM! Woohoo! World record! Ha! But, seriously, the kid has been ripping-off sleep lately. On Sunday morning, he woke-up at 6:30 AM, napped from 11:30 – 3:00 PM, went to bed at 7:45 PM, and then woke up at 6:45 AM on Monday morning. Whoa, right? Qman has also eaten quite a bit lately. He ate an entire hot dog in Arizona (his first ever) and then 6 (!!) fish sticks, apple slices, and milk at dinner last night. Mal and I were super impressed. I’m pretty sure the little dude hit a growth spurt!

My post-workout breakfast was a bit of a random mix, but I was craving something savory and filling, so I reheated some leftovers from the fridge. In the mix: Mashed sweet potatoes, Parmesan Roasted Fennel, shredded chicken thighs, and bacon. Not pretty, but delicious and nutritious!
