20 Days to Vegas: Home WOD

The last few weeks I have been on a "cleaning out" kick.  Since I have been losing weight and inches for the last few months and since Dennis and I have moved our bedroom upstairs, I have been wearing clothes and then deciding on whether to keep or heap them!  It's kinda fun.  So far I have collected 3 trash bags full of clothes that either don't fit (whether too big or too small) or that I just don't like anymore.  

Since this has been on my mind, going to Cape Cod was a great way to try out old bathing suits that I have collected over the years.  I bought two new ones last year for my Honeymoon which I will keep for now, but I had some other ones from earlier on that I hadn't worn in a while but kept.  So day 2 at the beach I wore one that was from years and year ago, fit perfectly, but the elastics on the bottom were completely shot.  DARN IT!!

21 Days to Vegas: Beach WOD

Since I was without a Crossfit box for the whole long weekend, I knew I had to do something while away. 

Fortunately, I packed my trusty jump rope and my new CROSSFIT JOURNAL that I won on Facebook from JournalMENU.com.  In the journal it provided me with several travel WODS to do while away from the box.  I had also recently downloaded a TABATA app on my phone (free of charge) for such instances. 

So along with my sun glasses and sun block, I grabbed my journal and my phone and headed to the beach. 

While my three friend went for a leisurely walk, myself and Jackie decided on doing the Travel TABATA WOD. 

I must admit that when we first started, I was really embarrassed.  I could tell people were staring and after the first set, I just focused on my  movements and getting the reps in.  After we were done, I was covered in sand but felt really happy about getting in the WOD. 

After a couple hours on the beach we decided to do some day time drinking on the beach.

Amazingly enough, I was able to stay up the entire 21 hours, even when 8 hours of it were in a car. 

This Labor Day Weekend we are taking our annual girls trip up to Cape Cod to visit our friend Sarah who's parents have a vacation house there.  The drive is exceptionally long, but worth every mile. 

I have to laugh that the town name is Dennis, since obviously that is the name of my husband, so no matter how much I TRY not to think about him while on vacation, all the "Dennis" signs are always in my face. 

I am glad that I got a WOD in this morning since I know I won't be going to any Crossfit boxes until at least Tuesday.  It is up to me over vacation to do travel WODS.
