Ugh and Delicious

One of the above words describes my workout from last night and one describes the lunch that I made for myself today. Can you guess which is which?

For someone who has run multiple 5k's, running during a crossfit workout is UGH. Because doing front squats for 20 minutes and then some wall balls and toes to bars (or rather knees to chest) isn't enough they had to throw in a 800 meter run followed by even more workout! I don't think I would've been so miserable if it wasn't for that run right in the middle. It wore me out and the thought of giving up ran through my mind, but you just can't give up at crossfit. Too much encouragement from the coaches and fellow crossfitters to give up. I did the best I could but I hit both time caps which is frustrating. However, I got up to 90 pounds on my lifting which I was quite impressed with! Try it out, maybe you will have better luck than me!

1 Full Squat Clean + 2 Front Squats (20 Minutes)

Standing on the Wall, Hands on Your Balls (Gotta Love the Name!)
7 Rounds For Time (6 Minute Cap)
12 Wall Balls
5 Toes to Bars (I did Knees to Chest)
Metcon

800 Meter Run
5 Rounds:
30 Dubs
10 Hand Stand Push Ups
Then
30 Burpees

Now onto the DELICIOUS part of my day. When I was working Sunday I wasn't sure what I wanted do make for meals this week. Well, my friend Sandy had a fabulous idea and it turned out so so good I thought that I would share it with you so you can go out there and make some yummy vegan Asian inspired food. And there are only 4 ingredients. Yes, F-O-U-R.

1 Package of 365 (Whole Foods Brand) Frozen Stir Fry Vegetable Mix
1/2 Block of Tofu, Cubed (I used Nasoya Sprouted)
1 Package Noodles (I used Organic Hakubaku Soba Buckwheat Noodles)
Soy Sauce (As much as needed for your taste)
Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)

1. Cook the noodles as directed on the package, mine only took 4 minutes!
2. In the pot used for the noodles pour in frozen veggies with a little soy sauce to start. Cook until hot and then add tofu.
3. Add noodles back in to the pot.
4. Pour some more soy sauce until it tastes like heaven.
5. Sprinkle in some red pepper flakes if you wish. I wished and it was delicious.

You will thank me later. I promise. You can even add more veggies if you wish! Use your Vegan imagination.

And since I'm getting even more excited, 3 days till I'm on a plane!

Happy Hump Day!
