Happy Friday!
My mind is all over the place so it’s as good a day as any to do another round of Fun Facts.
1. McD’s iced coffee is a delicious way to start the day.

On this day, their sugar free flavor was vanilla. It was the perfect addition for running errands on a sunny day.
2. Costco samples were on point yesterday.

Chips, ice cream, ribs, steak tips, coffee coconut water, applesauce, trail mix, and more.
3. Speaking of chips, the samples above were so awesome that I picked up a bag.

Roasted garlic and black bean is a delicious combination.
4. I tried on one of those shirts with a drawstring along the hip.

Just as I suspected, it looks weird. My torso is long already but it looks even longer (and my legs look even shorter)! No bueno.
I wasn’t aware of that white stuff on my pants… I must’ve looked like that all day.
5. Pancakes are still going strong.

I’m eating 1-2 a day. It’s my favorite breakfast and great to eat again at the gym. I find if I eat food with a bunch of seasonings, I get stuff stuck in my teeth.
Trying to avoid smiling and talking with my teeth showing is HARD.
6. This morning’s WOD was so freaking hard for me.
Metcon
With a Running Clock:
30 S2OH for time (155/105)
-3 minute rest-
20 T2B
40 DU
15 T2B
30 DU
10 T2B
20 DU
-3 min rest-
30 Ring Dips
(Track your splits and overall time)
It took me almost 2 minutes longer to complete the STO today than when I did Grace (and Grace is clean & jerks)! I originally wanted to do the rx weight which was 105#, but I tried 95# and it felt so heavy so I stayed there.
This is just a reminder that not all days will be good and it’s humbling to feel that way.
7. I still need to do a review of StrongerRX gloves.
I promise it’s coming soon!
And that’s all I can think of for now.
Your Turn: Share one fun fact with me!

I don’t know where the day went yesterday but it flew by. I began my morning like I do most mornings with a pancake. Topped it with the usual: banana slices, cinnamon, and pb. I used a new to me pb from Costco. It’s Kirkland brand and the ingredients are simply dry roasted peanuts and Read the full post –>
