The evening consisted of a BBQ with my Mates which was everyone’s cheat meal, so one can only imagine the indulgences!! My meal was a Cheeseburger, chips and dip, a piece of fried cheesecake (OMG, my first time to ever have this, ridiculous!), some m&ms and a blue moon. It was a full out cheat meal all the way and so good!!

I woke up this morning and decided if I was going to complete my Burpee Challenge for the day, I had better start the day off with it rather than waiting until after a group workout with my mates! So that's what I did. I headed straight for the gym and my WOD consisted of another day of Rowing and Burpees. Today was a little more broken up and a lot less rowing, so it seemed a little less taxing than the row/burpee challenge earlier in the week. WOD: (Burpee Challenge Day #4) 5 RFT 500M Row  30 Burpees (and of course I had to add 10 extra at the end:) for a total time of 26:30  Afterwards, I had just enough time to slam a protein drink, eat a banana, then it was FitIdeals Group Workout Time. Shoulders, Delts and Traps. Never a complaint here with that group of muscles! Love it:) The rest of the day will be consumed by grocery shopping, lounging and dinner tonight downtown. Not a bad way to start the weekend.

First of all, Thank you so much for following my blog:)So…What do I think of Crossfit bashers? I really don’t think about it at all. It’s not worth my time. There are ‘meat heads’ as they are called, that bash CrossFit, and there are Crossfitters that think CrossFit is Gods gift to sports. Personally, I think for anyone involved in the fitness industry to bash anyone’s choice of activity, shame on them.Some people lift weights for mere appearance and could care less about their overall health ironically. There are people that can leg press 1200 LBS, but can’t run a mile in under 10 minutes to save their life. There are people that can walk 200M on their hands, but can’t squat an Oly Bar. There are people with past injuries that can’t participate in anything more strenuous than a brisk walk or a bike ride.Point being, anything is better than nothing at all. Let the a$$holes look like a$$holes.And…to you I say, with all do respect, suck it up buttercup:)Who gives a s#!t what anyone thinks anyway. My friends that don’t participate in CrossFit give me hell constantly about being ‘gung-ho’ CrossFit and poke fun. I joke about it too. It’s all in good humor. Besides, you and I both know it’s a BADASS sport ;)Just do you my friend! 

I woke up this morning, fixed a cup of coffee and off on my mile and half hike to the gym. My morning workout consisted of cardio once again, to accommodate another day of Burpees. A one mile run and at every 200M, 20 Burpees. On the last two sets, I threw down for 5 extra, making for a total of 160. I added one additional lap on the track for a total of 1800M (Just a little over a mile) for a total time of 22 minutes.  Following my cardio session, I spent a few minutes in the sauna working on stretching out my Hip Flexors. Along with overall body exertion, the Hip Flexors take a pounding doing Burpees. Then, once again, hoofed it back home. After lunch, which was a homemade chicken salad and zucchini, I hiked it back to the gym for a lifting session. Thirty minutes of strict muscle focus on the biceps with Supersets. All dumbbell work. On my walk home, I scarfed down a half of Peanut Butter and honey sandwich that was absolute heaven and a Isopure malt chocolate protein drink. (its so nice being able to add a few indulgences back into my diet). The little things make me happy:) Now, my evening is about to be consumed by re-runs of Grey's Anatomy:)
