Crossfit means a lot to me

This morning's 6am WOD just wasn't as bad as I was expecting though we'll see what happens as time wears on. I have to admit that nothing inspires me to get up at 5:15am more than crossfit does (and nothing, so far, has successfully made getting up so early a habit for me). Since I "eased" into crossfit more than 4 months ago (I started at 3x a week), I never thought I could do anything like this. Every day I learn something new, whether it be about a movement, my limits, or my approach to life. The path from effort to reward is much clearer than in many aspects of life and the journey is exciting, pain included.

2K row this morning as part of Paleo+ challenge. 9:14.7 was not a time I was happy with... I had hoped I could at least do sub-9. Oh well, lots to work on, with efficient pulls being a top priority. Must practice.

Pre-WOD: Trio bar
Breakfast (8:30am): Eggs, bacon (eating up what's left), Americano (black). Boy that bacon was salty... never bothered me before (this stuff is working).
Mid-morning snack: Handful of almonds, cashews, and pecans. One chocolate-covered dried cherry (ugh I know I know).
Lunch (noon): homemade "ratatouille" with ground grass-fed beef (see JJ's post for pic)
Snack (4pm): clementine and homemade paleo kit (grass-fed beef jerky, dried fruit w/ no added sugar, nuts)
Dinner (7:30pm): homemade bolognese sauce w/ spaghetti squash and three Tallgrass grass-fed beef meatballs
