Crossfit & Hummus

For the past couple of weeks I have been doing the foundations classes for Crossfit and today I had my first real class with the rest of the group. It was a really tough "chipper" workout:

-400m run
-30 push press
-30 box jumps
-30 box dips
-800m run
-30 lunges
-30 pushups
-30 squats
-400m run
-30 kettlebell swings
-30 burpees
-30 tuck jumps

My time was 28:00 but I skipped out on 10 burpees and 12 tuck jumps because I gave blood last night and Chris said I looked "a little white". Anyway it was a pretty wild workout.

I just made some amazing, nutritious hummus. Here's the recipe:

-1 can chick peas
-3 heaping teaspoons tahini
-1/2 cup olive oil
-3 cloves garlic
-salt to taste
-lemon to taste

This recipe I got from my friend's mother who does everything "to taste" so this is not exact. Try it out and see how it is. It's high in protein, fibre, healthy fats, and there is even a significant amount of iron. The garlic is heart-healthy too!

Yum!
