On the move

Another busy weekend in the Chase household but we did manage to get to see The Avengers Saturday afternoon. Had my doubts, since I may have been expecting too much but overall it was an enjoyable 2 hours. The kids liked it even though my diva fell asleep towards the end.

Had some decent workouts over the past few days, got some much needed yardwork done, watched the Derby, played baseball with the kids... good weekend.

Made a fantastic mexican beef recipe although I used too much salt. Noted for next time. Easy heck to make with the exception of planning ahead to allow the 3 hour cooking time. I popped that sucker in the oven while we went to grandmom's on Sunday. Came home to a house smelling like a Mexican restaurant and dinner was just about finished. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

Disappointed with my front squats. Thought for sure I could at least get 165 if not 170. Just wasn't in the cards for me yesterday but I did make a good 10lb increase, so all is not lost. I'm thinking this week I'll do the regional metcons then jump into Outlaw CrossFit. I love the strength and metcon aspect (and I'm used to it now) so I may have to jump ship from mainsite programming for a bit.

Off to get some more yard work done before the rain moves in.
