Bar Muscle Ups and Paleo Pancakes

Today I made some pretty bomb Paleo banana pancakes. Did I attempt this yesterday and fail? yes. did I maybe cry a little when I couldn't figure out how to flip the sticky SOB's? maybe. but I was determined this morning when I saw the perfectly ripe bananas sitting on my counter. My secret? Bobbys ginormous grill spatula! It seriously is huge. and it flipped the shit out of those pancakes. I was a happy camper and made 5 paleo banana pancakes and used the organic real maple syrup Bobby bought yesterday on them!

They are super easy to mix(I did not say make, mix)

3 bananas
1/4 cup almond butter
 2 eggs

mix and pour in a pan with some coconut oil. Now when your flipping them you're going to need to have ninja stealth skills and a metal spatula. Flip them quickly and commit to it! Then ENJOY :)

I have been eating pretty strict paleo for real. Last month was a total frisking disaster in the diet category but I am ready to get serious about crossfit and your diet makes all the difference in the world! Sometimes ice cream and cupcakes are just not worth it......baahahaha said no one. ever. no really Im going to try ;)

Got to spend some time with Bobby this weekend finally. We had Saturday and Sunday off together and spent most of the time looking at stuff for our new place. Saturday night I needed a workout to do so I did tabata push ups and squats then Annie which is:

50-40-30-20-10
Double unders
situps
time- 8:07


I had a ridiculous PR on front squat today. I haven't front squat since LAST summer. My previous 1 RM was 145 and today I got 185! :) I cleaned 145lb and attempted 155 twice. Its okay though because my goal is to get 165 by September so I've got time :) I did Invictus tonight with Bobby, Jake, and Sun. The WOD was one of the games woods from next week.

3 rounds:

8 split snatches
7 bar muscle ups
400 m run

I did all of the bar muscle ups. My hands tore. It was pretty easy though other then that. Oh except it smelled like a dead ass when running. There is a fish market down the street from the gym and I feel like something went wrong there today because it has never smelled like that. My eyes and throat were stinging from the stench! Needless to say it smelled like dead ass.

Im feeling pretty good about the half marathon training! Did 7 last weekend and five this weekend. I need to do 8 here in the next few days or at least this weekend! Our ten miler is in two weeks :)

I am stoked for the rest of this year in the gym. Working with the boys has been super inspirational. No girl wants to look like a pansy in front of the boys (especially Sun, if you know him, you know what I mean) and the wods they have been doing are actually fun and structured as far as the strength goes, but not ridiculous like Outlaw. I love Outlaw but I am afraid Im not to that level yet. My shoulders and wrist get trashed from the volume. I think it has def helped me get stronger! I just need to get stronger for the next 3-4 months. Hope to set some goals this fall and get ready for sectionals....AGAIN. hahaha Time goes so fast! Cant believe the games are next weekend! Cant wait to watch all of the amazing athletes in the world kill it! The WODs they have announced so far have been a little strange but you never know until you watch or do it.

I have to give congrats to my boyfriend! He just got a new job AND he started training at the gym last week! So happy for him and he will be a great trainer! AND miss stacie chang got her first muscle up today! I was so impressed! It was basically a STRICT muscle up! and she did it three times! what a bad ass :)
