Wow, this is a revolution for me. I didn't stick to the portion/measuring aspect of the challenge but I accomplished what seemed impossible for me. I haven't eaten any flour/grains/sugar.(except for a few tortilla chips when delicious salsa was present) I am getting my carbs from veggies & fruits. Right now my love affair is w/ mangos w/lime juice & chilipowder & sea salt!!!!!!!! I did use diet soda when I really wanted something sweet @ work (diet usually grosses me out, but I oddly have started to like it....this is a temporary crutch) I also used half/half in my coffee (i will never give it up...) but i only drink one cup/day. I also used cottage cheese for a protein?sp?protien. It works for breakfast b/c eggs start to get boring. Any how, I wanted to come 'clean' about my interpretation of the challenge. Next time we do it I will be ready to measure & weigh my food. Once a gain a HUGE thanks to Jen, Carl & all for the inspiration to change my life for the healthier... my kids thank you, & my super cute fit as hell hubby thanks you. He no longer has to hold his crossfit tounge. Its official I have been bitten!!!!!!!! & I look forward to my first 'real' push up & pull up....... the life challenge is ON!

I love the emphasis on nutrition (not that I expected any less). We have found that this is where the real magic happens with CF. Without the nutrition you're just running on a treadmill of carbs. I also love reading your posts, always thought provoking or helpful. I've been back on Paleo / Zone strict for 2 weeks now. I gained about 37#'s of baby weight and I'm now within 9#'s of my goal weight and fitting into my normal clothes again. All do to the nutrition. So stick with it folks, it's well worth how great it makes you feel. Far more addictive then those evil carbs. Love to you guys at CFworks. Hope to see you in the near future Cherie Chan CF Verve Your website looks great! I love the emphasis on nutrition (not that I expected any less).

The brats sound great and easy enough to make that even a non cooking person like myself can make them. Just to let you guys know, I would definitely be interested in attending the intro Krav Maga classes, that is if I can get off of work in time..Oh yeah just to let you know, I am definitely feeling much better and have noticed a great boost in energy now that I am on the Paleo diet. Keep up the good work everyone! What’s up everyone? The brats sound great and easy enough to make that even a non cooking person like myself can make them.

What is a farmer's walk? Been watching the Norcal qualifier videos. Starting to look forward to a cheat meal, feeling great though!

I was a little burned out from the diet and lack of energy but then my back started hurting after doing one of the workouts at home so I guess I got lazy. Andres says it is perfectly okay for me to workout and it won't hurt my back any more so I have no more excuses. I will see you guys tomorrow. And Jen, I am thinking that you guys should come over next week. Wednesday.... I guess I will see you tomorrow. Ellie I miss you guys so much.

She is absolutely brilliant, and in my opinion, she is what sets us apart from other CrossFit gyms. She brings so much more to the table than she will ever admit, and we are extremely lucky to have her! Carl Ellie,
