Comments: My legs! My legs! Ow. This was kind of brutal for first time back in almost 2 months. I'm going to pay for it, but really, I'd be paying no matter what the workout was. Oh and I'm pretty sure I miss-counted. Finished way too close to Jenny so I think I might have skipped a round somewhere near the 6 rep mark? I always do stink at counting – especially when I'm under such distress. Used 10# DBs on the first set of 10, then went down to 5. This felt really whimpy, but it had to be done. My legs were killing me before I even started the WOD from the warm up! Burpee planks are way more fun than regular burpees.

So, I've been reading recipes from this 28-day detox thing I found. I'd like to really focus this month on what I'm eating. I'll be interested to see if/how it helps me recover more quickly? So tonight it's the millet bowl. I also started taking this "green" mix with almond milk during the day? Supposed to help all sorts of things. I don't know. The 28-day plan it turns out is really poorly organized. Like I bought week 1 groceries, but half the recipes call for things not on the list? Annoying. Trying to cut coffee at work and drink tons of water. We shall see!

All in all it did feel good to be back. Time to eat my millet bowl, take a hot shower, and go to bed!

*Clean, right lunge, left lunge, push press.

UPDATE: The millet bowl was good and gross at the same time. Started out ok, but there was no way I could finish the portion. I don't know if I've ever had millet before. It was really mushy.
