The Perfect Day*

So it took me a couple of weeks, but I finally posted the (nearly) perfect day. Got up early went to the 9am WOD at the box. Because I signed up for a new member challenge at the box, and our benchmark workout was happening at 10:30, our coach suggested we go a little easy so we had something in the tank for those moves. Didn't really listen to him and went as heavy/hard as anyone else in the class. My back is barking a bit tonight after the sled-pushing, but felt good to get it done. Felt better to know that whatever happened the rest of the day, I'd just maxed out on points for working out.

Among the only blemishes are the two beers at tossed down at a good friend's 40th birthday party. Avoided the cake, all the other booze and other snacks, but did partake of the Rudy's (no sauce) and two delicious cervejas, if for other reason than just because I needed to fit in and use them as camouflage to avoid more and far worse beverages. (Also dodged all the goodies laid out by the hostess at a neighborhood association board meeting.) The bigger black mark is that fact that I had zero veggies on the day. THAT definitely has to change.
