Under the Azaleas

Sunday Brunch
Scrambled eggs with veggies & canadian bacon
Mixed greens with tomato and avocado



I'm definitely back on track. Yes, the nuts and ice cream are out of the house; I took care of that Tuesday night! (Thanks for asking Rachel!) Yesterday was a good day. I'm proud of myself for limiting Tuesday night's failing to just what I called it. A blip. No big deal. It's not what we do on one particular night that matters so much but what we do consistently over the long haul.

On a different note, I have to share the highlight of my day yesterday. I did a CrossFit workout on my own, at home, after I did the scheduled HQ Push Jerk at the gym. I did the CFED dumbbell workout from Tuesday. What a great little workout. It's hard for me to keep the intensity up when I work out by myself, but since this workout is so quick (I finished in 10:10), I was able to really keep the pressure on. Plus I was gunning for Meeks' time of 8:54. When I finished, I collapsed on the patio--that great CrossFit collapse that we all love. While I was doing the workout, Melvin hid under the azaleas. When I was finished, he came over and gave me a lick. That's Wednesday's happy grateful bit.

Do you remember that cheer from high school: I am proud of you! Say I am proud of you! Well, imagine me doing my best herkie, and shouting it at the top of my lungs! To see a great herkie, you can watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrPZL-zbZaI! :-) Good job!

The azaleas in my yard are blooming already! The Spring Awakening is coming! Yeah!

Byron, LMAO. Too funny.

Here's the direct link to Byron's Herky video.

I'm sure Shana knows what a herky is. Melissa too. I've seen them both do them at the gym. Not as well as you, of course, Byron.

Too early for azaleas in Atlanta. Let's all head to Savannah and do herkies in Byron's yard.

I have no idea what you are talking about. A herky? What's that? I can't even spell it...
