No Excuses: 1000 Squat Challenge: →
I will do this, just not till after I finish the open wod. Actually the month of March I will be working on my air squat, goal is to get 200 unbroken by the end of the month so who knows I may give this a go a few times.

Birthday WOD Video →
Video of my Birthday WOD at Capital City Crossfit, doesn’t do the workout justice, but here ya go.
sierrafit asked: Thanks for answering my post. One of my close friends is doing it about 75% of the time and she doesn't seem to know exactly what it is about. What does your daily intake look like? Mostly meat? I'm just curious as to what the basic tenets are of the diet, effects you noticed, & struggles to stick with it. Any help would be great! Thank you!

Birthday Dinner
paleo pizza, crust recipe was from Paleodietlifestyle.com pretty good overall, but I think I’ll stay on the hunt for pizza crust recipes that are a little thinner. Until I figure out how to turn a paleo crust into a Chicago Style deep dish this just isn’t the right consistency for me.
I have to say that I earned this pizza today, in addition to it being my last day as a person in...

Mid week running
Nice outside today so the Wod included some running. Great to get into the box on a Wednesday and do a workout, I’ve been putting in overtime at work and getting in a good workout in the morning just makes everything feel better. To follow the WOD up with a taste test of a paleo cake that will make an appearance for my birthday next week and some coffee before having lunch with a good...
auryonblue asked: Hi there! Just wondering what pieces exactly did you use to build those parallettes? I'm practically next door to a Home Depot and would LOVE to build my own! Thx!!!

Gum
For the last two weeks I’ve been chewing gum like crazy, I don’t know why but it seems to be a combo of the extra coffee at work and my talking to people all the time and being self conscious. I think it’s time to cut back, chewed over a pack a day the last few days. On a side note, tomorrow is weigh in day, wonder what I’ll be at after a long week of work and a few extra...

Love visitors, and funny customer encounters
that1tallbitch:
^ I went to visit Steve (student teacher from first semester) with Evan at his place of employment: Starbucks. LOLOLOLOL. only in america.
It’s funny now she calls me Steve and that the three of us can just sit and joke around. I love it, and it’s one of the things that I hope to keep going, so if you’re a former student of mine feel free to come in, call...

A win for Friday
Coming in off a couple days outside of the gym I rocked the row today. Best time for 1k at 3:36 was a nice number for me. The death by Burpees that followed was not so fun but I made it through. Post WOD was strength sets, Wendler for Strict Shoulder and Juggernaut for squats. Pictures of my morning.

Crazy, 13 years old, crossfitting, heavy lifting and showing love for bacon.
Paleo shirts that I want.

First week at work
Good first week, I started the new job and it’s giving me a sense of purpose. Going along with that it was a good week of crossfit and I had some fun even with some pretty rough WODs. There are really only two issues that I can think of for this week. First is that Dad is still struggling with the infection in his hand. He had to go back into the hospital to have his hand opened up again...

Day off, and new clothes
No work today, but I start with a full day of training tomorrow. Today was a day for me, I rested, read a book, and worked out of course. Then I picked up new clothes for work.
Today’s workout:
5rds
15 weighted walking plate lunges - 45 lbs
10 Chest to Bar pullups - used a band
Was a good workout, came home and had a big steak for dinner, and then picked up things for work....

Big Day
Well this was my last day unemployed. I got the call at 1 asking if I’d take the job at Starbucks I interviewed for last week and I took it. Besides it being an awesome company, and my overriding love of coffee it brings a paycheck back into my life something that I need. To celebrate I picked up my diploma since I graduated in December and spent 3 hours at the box between strength...

Eating in a hospital makes it hard to stay paleo
Ran home today to spend some time with the family, Dad is in the hospital with some sort of infection. That meant that I didn’t CrossFit today, and likely won’t do a WOD tomorrow either as I spend the day at the hospital with him. Part of me feels guilty for not working out but at the same time I need to be around my Dad too. I hope that things go well so that I can head home for...

More days more applications
Another day on the hunt. Found out that I did not make the interview stage for Grand Teton or the BLM jobs. Tomorrow I have an interview though, at the Starbucks down the street from my house. I love coffee and am looking forward to working again so I really hope that I get the job. I managed to get just over 200g of protein today so it was better than yesterday and I stayed at just shy of 1800...

Challenge day 2
Another perfect day in the challenge. I’m struggling with energy levels especially in my workouts. At 240 I should get somewhere between 240-360 grams of protein a day but my current intake is only about half that. It’s starting to carry over into my WODs, today’s was especially rough. Here’s some pictures of my meals today.
The last one is the amount of water I had...

Paleo Challenge off to the races
Today is the first day of the paleo challenge and I made it through the day with all my points. In addition to my normal Monday CrossFit I spent time working on weight bags for the Strongman Sunday workouts, and did my sets of Wendler and Juggernaut.
Challenges I see ahead of me:
-Drinking over a gallon of water a day.
-Cutting out the little things here and there.
-Keeping a log of...
