Yesterday was what I would call a perfect Saturday. I fit in all of the things I love! A great crossfit workout to kick-start my weekend before we headed to the vineyard to enjoy some wine, cheese, and time with friends. What can be better than that?
Here is the Crossfit WOD I chose
45 pound barbell Overhead squat, 50 reps
100 Abmat sit-ups
115 pound Overhead squat, 25 reps
50 Toes-to-bar
185 pound Overhead squat, 10 reps
20 GHD sit-ups
Here is how I modified it (I ended up completing it in 15:50)
20 pound barbell Overhead squat, 50 reps
75 Abmat sit-ups
30 pound Overhead squat, 25 reps
35 Leg Raises
40 pound Overhead squat, 10 reps
20 GHD sit-ups
I ran a mile before this workout and then did some yoga on my own after it. My abs are pretty sore today, so I guess that means it worked! After our workout we came home and made our go to Saturday omelet, which is also my go to dinner many nights. It always does the trick.
Later we headed up to Wallingford, my hometown, to Gouveia Vineyards. Gouveia is a gorgeous winery set up on a hill in Wallingford, CT with breathtaking views and beautiful sunsets. I still can’t believe we have such a fantastic place in my hometown and I didn’t know about it until just the past couple of years. Here is my Yelp review. If you ever find yourself in Connecticut, Gouveia is a must – see!
We made a stop at Whole Foods to grab some cheese and crackers. One of my favorite cheeses from Whole Foods is called Midnight Moon. It’s made with goat’s milk and tastes like a mix between goat cheese and gouda. For crackers, we usually get Nut Thins. They are gluten-free and made from almonds. You can find them in most grocery stores now a days.
We met up with friends, some who I haven’t seen in a while, so it was really nice to be with everyone. Once the sun started setting we went picture crazy as I always do!
We all had a great time and a perfect Saturday. What’s your idea of a perfect Saturday?
