Today I don't feel like doing anything...

I just adore this song....sometimes I just feel this way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLexgOxsZu0  This is how I felt with respect to training in general yesterday.  I didn't want to metcon, I didn't want to run.  But I did metcon: 10 deadlift 115#, 10 hand-release pushups, AMRAP 12.  I did 8+ rounds...the + was 1 deadlift.  I did half-ass it.  Not gonna lie.  I was done 5.5 or 6 rounds by 6 min, so I knew I could slack a bit.  I still had a good WOD (I'm quite sore today), but I didn't kill myself.  So I managed to maintain my lazy status.

This week's CFE WOD was another set of 200m sprints with shorter rest (90s instead of 120s.)  I decided that would happen on my second WOD of the week.  I went for a prowler sprint, reverse Tabata (10 sec on, 20 sec off.)  Small amount of work, probably should have done 16 rounds instead of 8 but at least it was something.  It was challenging too.  I know Jeremy thought so!  :)  Then again, he did 6 30 sec sprints before the Prowler.

Since I sort of slacked yesterday I will likely do 2 more run WODs this week...the 200m one and possibly the 30's (3 rounds of 30:30, 30:25...30:5 with 2 min rest.)  I'm planning on doing the ECF WOD today...LOVE me some cleans of any sort!

A few days ago, I attempted a recipe I found posted by PALEOdISH on Facebook.  Paleo "Chicken nuggets/fingers".  1 word....AMAZING!

Ingredients

- 4 chicken breasts- cut into strips or chunks (fingers or nuggets)
- 2 cups ground almond flour- to coat
- coconut or olive oil- for cooking (I prefer coconut oil)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 lemon- juice squeezed and other 1/2 for garnish, squeeze on after
- 1/4 can coconut milk
- 2-3 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp paprika and 1 tbsp cumin
Prep

- cut chicken breasts into strips or chunks, set aside
- in a dish, combine eggs, coconut milk and lemon juice and whisk thoroughly
- then combine almond flour and spices together and stir
-i n the meantime in a frying pan heat coconut or olive oil on medium to high heat
- next, take chicken stripes and dip in wet mixture
- then, roll and in dry mixture to cover completely (will have to get "dirty" and use your hands here)
- when ready, arrange chicken strips in frying pan and cook on both sides until golden brown
- drizzle with squeezed lemon juice and serve with grilled veggies
- enjoy! =)


I believe I will be making these for Mr. Brooks for dinner tonight.  I hope he enjoys them as much as I did!!!
