I am finding that it is hard to find a Graphics Design job without any experience. I have a portfolio and I’m working on it to improve it. I have a little freelance experience, but not enough to show for. I am limited to what I can do right now because of the job I have. I work in a reprographics/print room of an oil and gas company that has a graphics department and I am not allowed to reach out to the other employees for freelance work. I was going to interview with the graphics department and show the manager my portfolio when the company got bought by someone else that is getting rid of the graphics department altogether. A few of the employees that know what I was going to school for and has left the company has asked me to do a few things here and there, but again nothing to show for.

This morning i was actually up 30 mins before my alarm...so i was pretty wide awake. 

For breakfast i whipped up a double chocolate coffee molten lava cake protein shake with coconut/almond milk instead of regular milk. The coffee part was actual cold-brew coffee and the double chocolate happened because i added my daily scoop of greens that was chocolate flavored. All this was thanks to unico nutrition. I also had my daily dose of multi-vitamins and fish oils. 

I snacked on some heart healthy nut mix about 9am. 

For lunch i had a garden salad with a grilled chicken breast from whataburger....ranch dressing of course. 

I did about 30 mins of light cardio before i took some of my Athena pre-workout and then got down to the really painful workout. 

For a warm up i did 3 rounds of 10 American kb swings, 100m row, 10 lunges. I then did my shoulder and leg stretches and my is, ys, and ts as my crossfire coach used to call them to warm up my shoulders. 

From here i did a skill/strength workout: 3 rounds of 2 wall-walks then 10 GHD setups. By the time i got to my last wall-walk i was sliding down the wall like in a cartoon or something lol. 

Here comes the WOD:

it was for time (which took me 24 mins and 24 seconds)

40 overhead plate lunges aka OH plate (10lb plate)

20 Burpees to plate aka B2P (25lb plate)

30 OH plate lunges

15 B2P

20 OH plate lunges

10 B2P

10 OH plate lunges

5 B2P

Not gonna lie i had to take some breathers when ever i could...my knees and shoulders were just not having this but i made it through & pretty proud of myself for it. 

After i was thru i mixed up some of my yumino bcaas to help with any soreness. & my recovery.

At first i had a major headache and was sure i was going to throw up but i did not. I originally did not want to cook and then when i looked at my bank account i knew i definitely needed to cook and not be eating out. 

So i had a hamburger patty and a big glass of ice cold milk for dinner. 

Thats been it for today hopefully i can continue tomorrow.
