Perfect Primal Pizza Crust- YUMMY!

The other night I happened to be looking through some recipes on Mark's Daily Apple when I found a video describing the perfect primal pizza crust. I had tried making a grain free pizza crust using almond meal, but it didn't turn out very good, so I was excited to try this recipe. The crust is made of eggplant, grated parmesan cheese, and an egg. Here is the link to the recipe. Scroll down past the video to see the recipe.

CrossFit

Warm up

WOD
"Helen"
3 rounds of
2 laps
21 KB swings- 35 lbs.
12 pull ups

Time- 12:30ish

Awesome WOD for me even though I was only able to get at most 4 pull ups in a row.  My arms were feeling tired from all the lifting earlier in the week.  Still loved this WOD thought.  I beat one of our top girls, but I heard she was having a bad day.  Still...it felt good!  I love WODs with no heavy weights!

Pull Ups

It's me doing pull ups!  These are called kipping pull ups where you are allowed to use momentum to help get yourself up to the bar.  It took me about about a year to be able to do more than one at a time.  When I first began CrossFit I couldn't even do one.  Now I can do about 8 at a time before my hands start to hurt.  I did 100 pull ups like this in a workout just the other day!  I was so proud of myself.  :)

4 rounds of
40 lunge steps with 25 lb KB and 20 lb dumbell
30 box jumps- 20 inch box
20 KB swings- 35 lbs.
Uneven farmer's carry to the corner of the building- 35 lb KB and 30 lb dumbell
Time- 29:56

I tried a few lunges with the 35 lb KB and 30 lb dumbell before the workout started, but it was tough.  I knew there was no way I was going to make it through with those weights, so I dropped down for the lunges.  My goal was to finish in under 30 minutes and I really had to hustle on the last bit of the farmer's walk to get it.  I was glad that I did!

Food Log:
Breakfast- half a glass of almond milk with sugar free nesquik
Breakfast- 2 scrambled eggs and 3 pieces of bacon
Snack- a few carrots
Lunch- chili and a few carrots
Snack- half a banana
Dinner- Philly Cheesesteak on wheat with bell peppers and jalapenos and pepperjack cheese, potato chips, half a chocolate chip cookie

I was planning to make dinner for myself, but my mom brought me Subway.  Maddie ordered my sandwich for me and got it right, so I had to eat it.  She was so proud of herself for getting it right!  Oh well, at least I didn't have to make dinner and clean up my mess!

Hurting Knee

4 things that might be causing my bursitis to flare up:

1. My new shoes.
2. The deadlifts we did on Nov. 15.
3. My horrible diet for the last month.
4. All of the above contributing to the problem.

Either way it hurts and I don’t want it to hurt anymore, so I have a plan.

My plan is to do the following:
Get the inserts into my shoes right away.
Cut out the grains.

Possibly go to the doctor for anti inflammatories.

***A friend reminded me about taking fish oil to reduce inflammation and low and behold, I think it actully might've worked!  Before I could even implent my plan I realized my knee was feeling pretty good today and it just so happens I restarted fish oil just the other day!  Hmmmm...makes me wonder if there is something to the fish oil thing!  I thought for sure it would be killing me today with all that running I did yesterday, but nope.  I'm still going to try to get the inserts in and cut out the grains, though!
