Florida In Review

Hello lovely blog readers! I hope that you all had a grand Christmas and that you got to spend some quality time with some amazing people (I know that I did!).
I got to spend a whole week in Florida with my mom and brother and I couldn't have asked for a better time.
Lets highlight some of the favorites shall we.

1. My brother and I decided to surprise our momma and decorate the apartment before she got home from work Saturday.
2. We got to meet up with my aunt Roni for brunch in downtown St. Pete which was amazing! (Who would have thought that sunflower seeds in a veggie wrap would be delicious!)
3. Went to the movies and saw Anchorman 2 (I highly suggest you go see it right now if you haven't!)
4. Me and my mom got to have lunch with my aunt Kim and my cousin Kati.
5. I went to crossfit with my friend Rachel at her box. So different than how my box is structured but I totally loved it.
6. On Christmas day I got to FaceTime with Max so he could show me all his presents he got from Santa!
and best of all...
6. I got a tattoo as part of my Christmas presents from my mom!!! (My brother got one too!)

Before and After!

Treys Half Way and Finished!

I was SUPER excited

I was sad to leave Florida but I was also excited to finally be back home in Philly. And unlike a lot of people, I am actually looking forward to going back to work on the 2nd!

I hope that every one had a lovely holiday! Time to put down all the cookies and pick back up some barbells!

WOD Thursday? Or Friday...

This week has been so crazy. I only worked three days and I'm currently sitting on the plane headed to Tampa. I didn't finish packing for my trip until around 2am (I am a horrible procrastinator if you couldn't tell).

I was so determined to stick to three posts a week but it is a bigger challenge than I thought. I don't want you all to miss out on my workouts so a WOD Thursday Friday will have to do for this week! I'm not going to make any promises about next week with vacation and Christmas.

Thursday December 12th

[1] Power Position Snatch (22 Minute EMOT[2]M)

Roast Beast
15 Minute AMPRAP
5 Pull Ups (Ring rows for the weak like me)
10 Shoulder to Overhead
10 Deadlifts

I don't actually have anything to complain about with this WOD. I'm slowing getting better at my snatch but I think it is because we are always doing some sort of snatch on Thursdays which will only make me better. I'm still at a pretty light weight but it's mainly because I'm scared that I'm gonna fall backwards and hurt myself because I am prone to that.

And that is the only WOD I did this week. I had a lot to do in preparation for my week vacation in Florida. I am hoping to get some regular gym time in while I am here and my friend does crossfit in St. Petersburg so I am going to join her on Monday for a WOD which I am super excited for. I have always been curious how other boxes run their programs. I will definitely have to let you all know how that goes!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

PS- This took more than 24 hours to finish as I am currently already in Florida. So much for a sweet mile high post! Maybe next Friday!
