I love a bargain.

This past Sunday my mom brought over a magazine she bought solely because it advertised $70 worth of coupons. The magazine cost $3, so it's a deal pretty much any way you look at it. Anyway, I took some of the coupons and last night I went and took advantage of it all. I only bought the stuff I'd use anyway, else it kind of defeats the purpose of saving money. But GEEZ, I had so much fun. I saved $11, and I still have some more I didn't get to use. It was delightful. I love saving money, because then I don't feel [that] bad for dropping a small fortune on a Lululemon collection. Totally different post right there.

Yesterday I proctored an exam and as a result, I'm home with a stack of blue books to the ceiling and a much higher propensity to blog, cut coupons, and drink my weight in coffee. So, I'm still stressed in case you were wondering.

I went to CrossFit last night, and for some reason, it just wasn't my day. We had 30 minutes to reach a 5 rep max on both front squat and push press. I got 105 on front squat and 85 on push press, both of which I've gotten more on before. It's totally a mental game, and when you show up not ready to play, you're screwed. Afterward, we did a shorter thruster workout, a sort of "pick your poison."

100 thrusters 30lb

or

85 thrusters 45lb

or

70 thrusters 65lb

or

55 thrusters 75lb

or

40 thrusters 85lb

I chose 55 @ 75lb. 6:58. Not great, not awful. Again, it is what it is. Tomorrow is a new day.

Back to grading. See you in a year.
