CrossFit 90 Day Challenge -- Day 29

I need a day off from training. That’s the conclusion I came to this morning. I worked out every day last week – 5 days of regular classes, the Saturday open gym with two of my children, and a 5K on Sunday.

I’m too old for this. I need a day, two would be better, to let myself recuperate and heal.

I had my official weigh-in last week and had only lost 3 pounds on the scale. I’m still waiting to hear what percentage of body fat I’ve lost. I’ll share that with you when I know. It’s hard to not get discouraged at how little the scale is moving. I know all about the heaviness of muscle blah, blah, blah … but I’m human enough to want to see that number budge a little bit more in a month.

CrossFit people like to say “Skinny looks great in clothes. Fit looks great naked.” and while I’d much rather be in the fit category, a little bit of skinny wouldn’t hurt me.

With that in mind, I’m doing my pre-cooking for the week today, starting with Omelet muffins. It’s an omelet made in a muffin tin. The beauty of this recipe is that you can make them today and put them in the fridge to be reheated for breakfast later in the week. I love that kind of thing.

(Double the recipe to make a dozen)

Omelet Muffins

Ingredients:

· 6 eggs

· 1/4 – 1/2 cup cooked meat, cut or crumbled into small pieces

· 1/2 cup diced vegetables

· 1/4 tsp salt

· 1/8 tsp ground pepper

· 1/8 cup mayonnaise

· 1/8 cup water

Optional Ingredient Idea: Make a Mexican Omelet Muffin by adding 1/4 cup shredded cheese, onions, and lightly drained salsa to the eggs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease 6 muffin tins with butter or coconut oil or for easier removal line with paper baking cups. The baking cups also help the muffins hold their shape.

In a bowl, beat the eggs. Add meat, vegetables, salt, ground pepper, and any other ingredients and stir to combine.

Spoon or scoop into the muffin cups

Bake for 18-20 minutes until a knife inserted into the center of an muffin/omelet comes out almost clean. The omelets will continue to cook for a minute or two after removed from the oven. Remove the omelets from the muffin cups and serve, or cool completely and store for another day.
