Ever since that Dallas trip I haven't been able to get into my groove. I am going to have to go back to square one.
So here are my steps for getting into the Zone and staying on it:
1. Choose a menu for the week
2. Make a shopping list based on the menu
3. Grill meats to have ready by Monday morning
4. Cut up veggies and put in tupperware ready to serve
5. Prepare salsa to eat for breakfast
6. Have ready supply of tupperware and ziplocks bags for to-go meals
7. Get at least 8 hours of sleep--lack of sleep makes me crave coffee and sweets
8. Get at least 2 5k runs in the week (5k's help me recover quicker from the Crossfit wods)
9. Drink lots of water, and remember to take my vitamins.
This is my plan for this weekend. Then by Monday I'll be ready go get in the zone and be strict. Hopefully, life will not throw too many fast balls at me!
O.k., I got my groceries, menu, and my meats thawing...
First curve ball: I've got a girls' night out tonight, and it's to celebrate a friend's birthday. We're going to a concert first and then out for a light snack and dessert. I will have to do some careful navigating to be able to stay in the zone. I'll post the results tomorrow or Sunday!

Hey Luila..
great plan! Hope that girls night out wasn't too much of a curve for ya.. but if it was today is a new day to start fresh.
Quick qustion. Do you plan on running the 5k on a rest day or as a sub for a WOD? I'd eventually like to do some more running so I like to see how others fit it into Crossfit WOD.
Thanks.

Hi Angela, I usually run a 5k as my wod. There have been a few instances where I've done a 5k and a wod; but I haven't been getting enough consecutive sleep the last few weeks. I tend to need at least 8 hours of sleep with an early bedtime. In other words, I recover better if I go to bed early and wake up early, versus going to bed late and waking up late. Every set of 8 hours are not created equal! Every athlete is different, but I think it is safe to say that you can build up your strength and stamina over time. I recommned keeping a journal of your wod's to help measure your progress.
