Wow, it was a great 3-day weekend and I got in only 1 workout, but it was totally killer, thanks to Charles River CrossFit. The workout was "Cletus" 21-18-15-12-9 of thrusters (65#), box jumps, Sumo dead lift high pull and situps, with a firm 30 min cap. While talking to Mel before the workout she mentioned it was only 15 reps more than Fran...I politely reminded her that it was in fact 30 reps longer than Fran, and that's a lot when your in the midst of them. By the last 9 thrusters it was muscle failure and sheer mental power to get the job done. I wasn't even able to workout a 3-3-3 rep scheme, and had to fight it out 1 rep at a time, but still finished before the cutoff which was a huge boost!
We cooked tons of great food and now we will have recipes throughout the week! Chicken casserole, meatloaf, artichoke salad and omelets are one the roster!
Artichoke Salad is super simple, just spinach, tomatoes, shredded carrots, peppers and sliced artichoke hearts on a bed of spinach. I always hear requests for salad dressing ideas, but I often just eat it plain, enjoying the crisp clean taste of the healthy veggies.
