As per my usual, today was a crazy, busy day.  Loads of appointments, phone calls, emails, and everything that falls in between.  It’s easy after a long day to say to myself that I should call it a day and “chill-out”, but that would be the “easy” way out.  Instead, I was off to Crossfit Langley for a quick workout.

Today’s Workout of the day was awesome!  It was a get-the-heart-rate-pumping-metabolic-conditioning workout with a set amount of work to complete as fast as you can.

Here’s the workout (note:  25 minute time cap)

• 50 x 20″ box jumps;
• 25 x 25lbs ball slams;
• 25 x ab-mat sit-ups;
• 25 x pull-ups;
• 75 x air squats;
• 25 x pull-ups;
• 25 x ab-mat sit-ups;
• 25 x 25lbs ball slams;
• 50 x 20″ box jumps.

Secret to this workout – simple, just keep moving.  My time to complete was 11:17.

I kept thinking about dinner while doing my workout.  My reward after a long drawn out day is to cherish a bowl of my favorite meal.  Christie’s Paleo salad “extraordinaire” (note, say this with a French accent as it gives a je ne c’est quoi, un petit peu joie de vivre

Here’s the list of all the goodies that come in it.  (you gotta try it! and once you do, you’ll realize that following a Paleo diet is awesome and not that hard)

The Paleo Salad “extraordinaire” ingredient list (all organic of course): Spinach, Cherry tomatoes, Carrots, Avocado, Strawberries, Dried cranberries, Cucumber, and last but not least, chicken!  Yumm-eh!?

And to wind the day up, what better way than to watch the Canuck game live streaming on our laptop with my beautiful honey, Christie.  Go Canucks go!
