Morning! Guess what the temp is outside in Boston right now! Give up?
Here you go:
Yes- that says” -3 degrees”. It is the coldest day we have seen in Boston for 6 years. There is one great way to get warm in this cold…Crossfit! I got up at 5:45 and braved the cold to make it to a 6am Crossfit class. It was freezing cold, but let me tell you about 1 minute into the workout I was MUCH WARMER!!!! 😉
Here is the workout:
5 Rounds, 1 min per exercise- as many reps as possible.
Wall Ball Shots (I used 8 pounds)
Sumo Deadlift High-Pull (I used 12kg)
Box Jumps (20 inch box)
Push Press (45 pounds)
Rower/Jumping Pullups
It was an awesome workout! By round 5, I was pretty exhausted. I will be okay with it if I don’t do another box jump for a while. I was so glad I got out of my warm bed for it this morning. It made me so happy to get in an amazing workout before starting my day.
There were a bunch of other things that made me happy today as well:
1. The milk I bought yesterday expires on MY BIRTHDAY.
This is a sign that my birthday is coming soon. I love my birthday!!! I am not one of the people that hates being a year older. I think every year older I am is another reason to celebrate!
2. This new flavor of coffee is totally rocking my world!
Chocolate Cappuccino? They should call it “The Ali Coffee”. Maybe I can convince they to name it after me as a birthday gift? 😉
3. Drinking chocolate cappuccino coffee out of a mug that says, “Chocolate” on it.
4. This Bees Knees peanut butter I bought yesterday.
5. The price I paid for the Bees Knees peanut butter:
Not bad at all 🙂
6. How amazing this peanut butter tasted with banana oats. PB+Honey+Bananas= Heaven.
7. Some handsome guy:
and his little sidekick:
(Sidekick is freezing!)
drove me into work this morning so I didn’t have to commute in the frigid temps. I love my husband for waking up and braving the cold on his day off to drive me in. I was so grateful.
8. Corduroys and cardigans…
Cords and sweaters make this weather and my freezing office much more bearable.
What little things have made you happy today?
Hot chocolate. If there was ever a day for hot chocolate, today was the day. And there was one packet left in my work kitchen. SCORE.
Scarves. Hot mug of tea. Yeah, we’re cold here, too. Not QUITE as cold, but brr!
Being able to see my husband for an hour before we both left for work. I won’t be seeing him until Wednesday.
My spinach and turkey wrap that my mom made me for lunch.
My birthday is March 18! Such a great month. 🙂
DACHSHUND PHOTOS always make me happy + smile!! 🙂
Going to see Legally Blonde the Musical tonight! And the fact that Monday is half way OVER!
I am in the same boat here with the temps today but the snowflakes falling from the sky still make me happy!
Apparently it got down to -16 here last night, I don’t know how cold it is right now, but it’s fah-reezing!!! yay for the hubby driving you to school!!!
Have a great day 🙂
Ali, you need to get Oscar a sweater in this cold weather!
