Oh the weather outside is....COLD...

Well, it's not exactly cold now, but it will be where we're going....Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Our flight is at 6:50 in the morning so it will be a much needed coffee drinking morning.  We are visiting our friends Dan, Andrea and Jacob who moved from South Florida to Michigan over the summer.  Mr. Fitness keeps asking me why we are visiting them in the fall/winter and not the summer!  Ha!  Well, I'm thinking the same thing.  We miss our friends and it was just good timing to see them now and have Thanksgiving with them, like we did last year.

Andrea called me Sunday to tell me they will have a cold front coming through and the high will be in the low 30s and snowing!  Whoa (in my best Joey Lawrence impression).  It's 80 degrees in South Florida.  I finally bought a coat and a fleece sweater today!  Fortunately, the Treasure Coast had a cold front a few weeks back meaning it was going to be high 68 and low 48.  I realized I had zero long sleeves in my closet and bought a few for layering at Target.  I hope these things get me through!  I'm actually looking forward to the snow - it's been a while and then I'll look forward to the body scan/junk touching then 80 degree weather in South Florida on Saturday!

We have some cool things to look forward to upon arriving back home.  We are joining a real-life CrossFit gym - Operator CrossFit!  Remember, when I started this blog and I was posting WODs (Workout of the Day)?  Well, we were doing CrossFit in Birmingham just out of house and local gym but this is a brand new gym opening up and it's completely devoted to CrossFit.  They have rings and pull-up bars and huge tires to flip!  I'm nervous and excited!

Here's a video that may explain CrossFit a little more:



Here's to a happy gobble, gobble to everyone - before the hard core working out, right?!

Raising a glass to a nice, relaxing, rejuvenating Holiday.

Cheery-o,
