Today's the Day!

The excitement and anticipation I felt today waiting for the regional workouts to be released was second to none. In one week I'll be in San Antonio competing against the best athletes in our region. It's really starting to sink in, and I know I'm about to face the biggest challenge ever...AND I CAN'T WAIT!!! Check out my facebook page for the WODs. 

So today's juice is an easy one - straight veggie!

- 2 Stalks of Celery

-1 Head of Romaine Lettuce

-1 cup of Broccoli 

-2 cups of Cabbage 

-1 Cucumber

Shake what your mama gave yah!

I have a good one for you today. Today's juice was the perfect pre-wod snack. It helped me lift an 800lb dead lift PR! Psyche! It really did satisfy my sweet tooth and give me an extra boost, though. Before I let the juice loose, I'll let you in on today's work outs.

Road Trippin'

Back from Austin in high spirits. Today our BCCF regional team trained with CrossFit Austin's best. We competed in two team WOD's, and got a little preview of what's to come on April 27th. I'm mostly excited about my shoulder holding up and making it through one of the grueling, 40 minute workouts. Ok, I'll tell you what it was...

WOD#1: Team of 2
1 OHS (155/105), 1 Muscle-up
2 OHS, 2 Muscle-Ups
3 OHS, 3 Muscle-Ups
so on and so on...
10 min AMRAP

WOD #2: Team of 4
20 Rounds of cindy
200 Ground to Over-head (135/95)
300 Double-Unders
5000 Meter row
For Time

Damn is right! It was crazy, but I got just enough recovery time to keep the intensity up.

JOTD
I think I'll experiment today and see what happens...

Here's what I'm thinking:
-1/4 lb of spinach
-2 stalks of red kale
-2 c of broccoli
-1 Apple
-2 kiwi
-1 lemon
I haven't tried it yet, but I'll let you know how it tastes. BRB (that means 'be right back' for you n00bs ;)
..............

Well...I'm not gonna lie. It's not my best work, but not my worst. Try it and let me know what you think.

JOTD

Boo yah! Didn't think I'd be back so soon, did you?

Juice of the Day: Green Machine
-1 head lettuce leaves
-2 stalks of celery
-2 stalks of kale
-1/4 lb of spinach
-2 green apples

It's green, DRINK IT!

Today was a much needed recovery day. Off to Austin tomorrow to train with CrossFit Austin's team.
I've been juicing for 6 days now and can feel a significant difference in energy levels. It may also be due to cutting out sugar or getting more sleep, but I'm giving the cred to the juice. 'Til tomorrow, friends. Peace!

I admit it - I'm JUICING!

Not that kind of juicing, fools - the good kind! Firstly, I'd like to share my personal challenge with ya'll. My plan is use my Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer every day for 21 days, and share my recipes via blog. It's really a juicing/blogging challenge.  I will also be sharing my regional training workouts for those of you wondering what we do to prepare for competition. Feel free to give feedback and post recipes.
