We are finishing the year out with a BANG or should i say three Hero WOD's to make you remember what a great year we had, but the sacrifices others have made for us in doing so. These all three have been in the gym before, many of you will remember them AFTER you are done with the workout. Then you will know why you forgot them. :-)
We did have some strength on today because this is a shorter Hero WOD.

I love you all, I love my family and friends, please hold your loved ones and anyone else for that matter a little tighter tonight, and when you're done with this workout covered and sweat and on our knees pray for those who lost their loved ones.

Diabetes - What can we do?
Diabetes by the Numbers
We Americans love our sweets, that’s a fact. There are hundreds of varieties of candies and cakes out there; enough to satisfy even the largest of sweet-tooths (you can even get fried Coca-Cola at some county fairs! Fried soda!). Though we do love these treats, there should be restraint used. That’s not to say they should be cut out entirely; eating sweets in limited quantity in a "clean" sweets kinda way every once in awhile might not be so bad, but it’s once you start habitually over-consuming that the problems can occur. One of the (obvious) unintended consequences of this sugar over-consumption is the toll that can be taken on your health, specifically in the form of diabetes.
Today’s infographic from jsonline.com gives us an overview of Americans with diabetes. According to the graphic, more than 8% of the U.S. population has diabetes. While that might not seem like a huge percentage, it still equals out to around 28 million people who are afflicted! Diabetes is also a leading cause of limb amputation, but with comprehensive foot care programs the number of limbs lost could be reduced drastically.
14 FACTS ABOUT SUGAR!
Facts About Sugar
There’s no hiding the fact that American’s love sugar, it’s in everything delicious! From ice cream to French fries, there is no escaping this silent button buster. But as great as sugar tastes, its become a huge problem to the people of America. The problem has been mocked in television shows and has even been addressed in real life with the soda ban in New York.
Today’s infographic gives 14 sweet facts about sugar. After reading the infographic, you will come to the realization that sugar is poisoning us. I know after I finished reading it, I promised on more sugary snacks, but alas, here I am eating ice cream while I write this post. The truth is, sugar is hard to give up, so let’s at least try to decrease our intake. I’m sure well all look and feel a lot better!
BUTTER BUTTER BUTTER
Butter is Good for You?
I love butter. Its delicious, but I didn’t know there were so many different types. I used to think only salted and unsalted butter existed and I still never knew the difference. (Okay.. I guess one has salt..) Now it seems butter has taken the advice from beef and started going grass-fed.
Ready for me to blow your mind? Grass-fed butter has Omega-3s, CLAs, antioxidants and its even chocked full of vitamins. Another stat that I can barely conceive is the relation of butter consumption from 1910 to 2000. Butter consumption back in the day was 18 pounds per capita (holy crap) compared to only 4 pounds per capita now. The unbelievable part of this is that heart disease was less than 10% of the population in 1910. Now almost half of the population dies due to heart problems.
Why has butter consumption dropped but heart health declined? Maybe there isn’t a correlation between the two. Did you know saturated fat has never actually been linked to heart disease? I didn’t. It seems like trans fat is the heart killer in this situation and that saturated fat I was talking about? Its actually good for you.
Butyrate is a short-chain saturated fat found in butter. It it has also been proven to help lab rats with a plethora of health problems and can help to reduce swelling in humans. Butter has and always will be apart of our life. Don’t be afraid of it. If you want to be more healthy maybe just stop going to drive-throughs.

For those of you who have bee with BBCF then you know what this is, and it is a great time to see the AMAZING level of change you have had in a short six months. For those of you who have not done an assessment week with us yet PLEASE BE SURE TO BE HERE for the week. You will get an awesome sense of where you are, and where you want to be by June of 2013. It also gives you the ability to set those NEW YEARS GOALS for 2013 - member we hate the word resolution. :-)

CrossFit Total
The CrossFit Total reflects an athlete's functional strength capacity more accurately than any other test, writes Mark Rippetoe, author of Starting Strength and owner of The Wichita Falls Athletic Club/CrossFit Wichita Falls.
The CrossFit Total is the sum of the best of three attempts at the squat, the press, and the deadlift. All three lifts are done while standing on the floor. They require minimal and inexpensive equipment. They are not technique- dependent to the extent of the Olympic lifts, yet they require technical proficiency beyond mere passing familiarity. They are safe when performed correctly, since they can all be performed without spotters—alone in a garage if necessary.
There is no time limit for each lift or for the length of the session in which they are all performed, but they must all be performed during one session—i.e., you cannot leave the area to rest or perform other activities between the three lifts.
Anyone in a position to attempt a legitimate CrossFit Total should be familiar enough with their capabilities on the lifts to have a fairly good idea of just what might be possible for a one-rep max (1RM). This number is what you warm up intending to do. A meet situation will involve three attempts, and this is a good way to determine a true 1RM.
The first attempt would be a weight you know you can do for a heavy set of three. The second attempt would be a weight you know without any doubt that you could do for a single, having just done the first attempt. And the third attempt is the weight you want to do, based on your performance on the previous two attempts.

The following chart is a GUIDE ONLY. Please always note body mechanics, size, height, muscle mass etc. need to be taken into account this set of lifts. Just because a guy who weighs 200lbs hits a 1000lb CFT DOES NOT MEAN every man should!
Also this is in pounds not kilo's
Hope you guys are ready for this month, we have some great weeks of programming coming up PLUS A REMINDER - the first week of January we have our assessment week coming back around. For those of you who have bee with BBCF then you know what this is, and it is a great time to see the AMAZING level of change you have had in a short six months. For those of you who have not done an assessment week with us yet PLEASE BE SURE TO BE HERE for the week. You will get an awesome sense of where you are, and where you want to be by June of 2013. It also gives you the ability to set those NEW YEARS GOALS for 2013 - member we hate the word resolution. :-)

Strength:
CrossFit Total
The CrossFit Total reflects an athlete's functional strength capacity more accurately than any other test, writes Mark Rippetoe, author of Starting Strength and owner of The Wichita Falls Athletic Club/CrossFit Wichita Falls.
The CrossFit Total is the sum of the best of three attempts at the squat, the press, and the deadlift. All three lifts are done while standing on the floor. They require minimal and inexpensive equipment. They are not technique- dependent to the extent of the Olympic lifts, yet they require technical proficiency beyond mere passing familiarity. They are safe when performed correctly, since they can all be performed without spotters—alone in a garage if necessary.
There is no time limit for each lift or for the length of the session in which they are all performed, but they must all be performed during one session—i.e., you cannot leave the area to rest or perform other activities between the three lifts.
Anyone in a position to attempt a legitimate CrossFit Total should be familiar enough with their capabilities on the lifts to have a fairly good idea of just what might be possible for a one-rep max (1RM). This number is what you warm up intending to do. A meet situation will involve three attempts, and this is a good way to determine a true 1RM.
The first attempt would be a weight you know you can do for a heavy set of three. The second attempt would be a weight you know without any doubt that you could do for a single, having just done the first attempt. And the third attempt is the weight you want to do, based on your performance on the previous two attempts.

Thursday 29, November 2012
So, today is one of those days you dread to see come. No, I am not talking about the metcon, though burpee's suck a whole shit ton. Today one of our family members had to move on to another gym. Breaks my heart, especially since she has been with me for 3+ years. Of course I understand, but I will miss you and your spit fire attitude, your never give up attitude, and your drive to live and live life to it's fullest. I LOVE YOU MELANIE RICHARDS!!!

3 Reasons My Tri Athletes and Runners NEED to STRENGTH TRAIN
If you reflect on your year of triathlon training and competition, you will probably agree that you put in a ton of volume and intensity. Your body is thanking you for taking a few months off before you break it down again. This brings up a great opportunity to understand the importance of how to handle your offseason.
Of course, you will continue to swim, bike and run, only with a lighter intensity and possibly with less volume. One major component triathletes forget about during the offseason, however, is strength training.
Strength training is the key to your performance next year. This doesn’t mean hitting the weight room and hammering out bench presses. Your strength sessions should be focused on preparing your body for next year's volume, preventing injuries, and increasing your performance from the previous year.
Prepare for Next Year
Triathlon is taxing on the body, and if you don’t take the proper steps to prepare your body for the next season of triathlons, you will be disappointed in the outcome.
Think of your body as a machine, a highly sophisticated machine. This machine requires specific preparation in order to perform at its optimal level. Strength training is an extremely important element in keeping your machine’s components healthy and strong.
The components of your machine include your bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles and joints—all of which need to work together to create a well-oiled machine. Without strength training, you will be less efficient and more prone to injury. Prepare your body to manage pain and to give yourself the best possible chance for a healthy and fun triathlon season.
Prevent Injuries
As you know, triathlon is a sport that demands a great deal of volume. Most injuries develop from the continuous stress placed on the joints. Running and biking require the same joint actions over and over again. This can create an imbalance between certain muscle groups, which then leads to dysfunction in the joint. Strength training will help develop underactive or weak muscle groups, which can help develop optimal joint movements throughout the body.
You see it everyday when you are training. The runner who is hunched over and whose knees dive in at each foot strike. Or, the guy on the bike whose knees dart out every pedal stroke. These examples are common muscle imbalances that can be corrected through a proper strength training and flexibility program. The more you can limit or prevent muscle imbalances, the greater chance you have of being healthy year round.
Improve Performance
A proper strength training program will help increase lean muscle tissue and decrease body fat.
Added lean muscle tissue provides foundation, power, increased neuromuscular efficiency, increased metabolic efficiency and a decreased risk for injury. While decreasing your body fat has shown to increase your VO2Max. This allows you to process oxygen faster and provide the working muscles more of it.
Triathlon is an addictive sport. An addiction that will break you if you don’t train properly. Use this offseason to reflect on your previous year, analyze your races, and figure out where you could have improved.
Ask yourself this: “Did my performance program put me in the best position possible?” Challenge yourself to add strength training to your offseason performance program and reap the benefits at your future races. Enjoy the offseason!

New Years Resolutions
Now most of you know I don't realy believe in this type of life style change per say, but what I do believe in is all of you and your dedication to your fitness, health and families. So with that said, you have a month to really think of what BBCF and its coaching staff can help you change, tweak, fix for the year 2013.
Maybe you want to run a marathon, the Spartan race, a PR on a lift, clean up your diet completely.
Get your booty back into the gym, any of these things could be your goal or someone you know.
Brainstorm and let's see what we all come up with.
Well we are here to help.
The board will be up in the first week of December for us, including the gym as a place to write down our "resolutions". With it up and visible your BBCF family will help you and me stay on track, so think, write, share, and lets make 2013 the year to kick some serious ass!
XOXOXOXOXO

1908 this was the thought, now 2012 and where are we?
In 1908, the book ‘The Way to Live‘ was released.
Here is one of my favorite quotes from the book:
“It is a well known fact that the majority of men today are relatively weak, whereas the struggle for existence demands now more than at any previous epoch that we should all be strong!”

If it is not, you did not do prescribed, or we have not found your 1 rep max, and if you lost form you may of gone to heavy, it is O.K. to strip weight ladies and gentlemen.

DAMONTE RANCH MUSTANGS WIN
O.K. this is AWESOME!!!!
So Friday night the varsity boys played their second game in the Northern Nevada State Regional Finals and WON!!!!! 21-20 over McQueen. This game was crazy, with four fumbles (on us I'm sorry to say) a missed field goal by hitting the uprights made by McQueen, some crap calling on both sides, but a STELLAR performance by our defense with a blocked kick and some huge 4th down stops.
WOOT WOOT!!!
So, with that said the boys play this Friday night at 6pm at Macky Stadium at UNR for Regional Champions against Reed.
Two things I am asking right now....
PLEASE, our boys have never made it this far and you all know my big old goofy boy Evan, so if you have no plans come out and ill up the stadium and show the Mustangs some support!!!!
Two, no class after the 4 on Friday.
THANKS TO YOU ALL!!!!

Quitting CrossFit - a Coaches Journey
So as I am sure most of you, all of you, some of you have heard me in the last week or so say that I quit CrossFit. A few of you laugh it off, some of you believe I'm joking, I even got a "recharge" break comment, some of you are visibly worried, some of you have told me so.
I feel like I am going out on a limb here, and with another Living Social promotion running soon, I could be doing the gym a great disservice, but I need you all to know and understand what is going on with me. So, if you don't want to know, that by the end of this I am sobbing uncontrollably, or that my heart is breaking by realizing that right now CrossFit is not the best fit for me, then STOP reading now. Go to the gym tomorrow, see my smiling face and my pat on the back for you and do your BEST, and know I watch you all walk out the door after your hour or so with me and feel a tremendous sense of pride I get to lay claim to the best group of athletes a coach could ever wish for!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE what you need to know and understand is that I am not quitting you, BBCF, or the belief that CrossFit is the best (if done right) hands down fitness program there is.
I will still be by your side laughing with you, taping your wounds, yelling for you to "drive", changing your weights out, screaming "good job", hugging you sweaty and disgusting, crying tears of joy when you come to me like many of you have and said I have changed your life, made you feel ways you hadn't in 20 years, that because of me I helped you become... or change... or grow... or see a new way of life that you had given up on so long ago.
So you know, every time one of you comes to me and tells me I made a change in your life, I smile, I tell you how proud of you I am, thankful to be a small part if any in changes that have made you a better person, mate, physical specimen, motivator for others. Then I cry like a big old baby on my way home. I don't know why you feel I have done so much, I gave you the path, laid the foundation for you, but you all put the hard work the discipline the day in and day out to change. I held your hand and cheered you on knowing all along you had it in you, even if you didn't until the day you finally did know.
With that being said, I'm sorry to say I have lost that knowing, that I have it in me. I lost it a while ago, maybe last year before Fittest of the Sierras when my knee went and I tried to push through anyway, and then there in front of hundreds of people it went and I had nothing left, and so many of you asked me why I didn't place in the top 3, revenge my win from the year before. I felt like I had failed you all, to the point of vowing to never compete again, so I may never let any of you or me down again. Maybe it went when a load of personal crap happened, maybe it slowly wained over years of over training and destroying myself to quiet the things raging in my own head. I truly cant pinpoint the exact moment I lost it, but I have lost it, and that is to be no effect on any of you, ever! I AM YOUR BIGGEST CHEERLEADER!
Watching so many of you over the last two weeks PR on lifts, multiple lifts, not just one but multiple - Adam PR'D on two lifts today, two!!!!! Shaving minutes off of your Lurong Living Paleo Challenge benchmark workouts, watching my girls get bar muscle ups, is the greatest feeling in the world. Seeing the joy on your faces when you do it, the awe of realizing the potential you have, makes my heart soar for you all. I will never give up that feeling or on you, that I can promise!!!
It was brought to my attention today that I motivate, drive you guys, I am looked up to, a desire to be like, and I can not thank you all enough for those kind words.
But if you may, what happens when there is not that coach there to drive me, to cheer me, to watch me falter and tell me the good there was in it, but what I need to do to correct it. To watch and help me PR, to watch me fail, and I feel OK with failing in front of that person, and not that my failure just let you all down. To make sure I am getting stronger and not over training, to talk about my diet, my goals, or to even find the path to what my goals may be.
Who is my coach? Who do I look up to? Who do I aspire to be like? Who keeps my demons in check? Who looks at me when I walk in the gym and ask if I am OK and maybe I need to take the day easy? (and yes, Gene, Jason, and Adam, I know that last question was loaded because you all have and I recognize it)
So, with this and all that written above - I want you to understand I am by no means quitting any of you, or my belief behind what BattleBorn CrossFit and its coaches stand for, I am taking a break to find what it means to me personally and to my level of fitness and desire. To find a coach or a partner to help me work through my stagnant points, to help me get stronger or more mobile, or faster, or whatever the hell I determine I need to do or become. I might go to a spinning class a few times a week, back squat heavy loads and nothing else, I may just let my body and soul recover as the more time I take off these last few weeks the more sore and tired my body becomes. Try to get my diet in check again, discover what proper nutrition can do for a body less working out. I have even toyed with the idea of good old conventional body building again.
Whatever it is I choose, I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU! I will always be motivating and cheering and tough when you need me to be, and that person for you all to listen too. My credentials don't change, my desire to be more educated, to see your aliments fixed, your bodies stronger, those looks you give that in your head I know you are spewing words of yuckiness to me, but when your done and laying on the floor the look of lets call it "grat-love" (gratitude and love). None of that changes, and hopefully before you know it you will walk in and i will be WODing next to you again, with a smile and new found determination!
YOU ARE MY HEROES and I THANK YOU ALL, and LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

WTF - Girls can't do pull-ups??? REALLY!!!!
So a lot of you have already seen this, but I just needed to post it on the blog as a reminder to all my ladies HOW DAMN AWESOME YOU ARE!!!!
Even if your still using a band, you are kicking way more ASS than most!
I am proud of you (and you too my men) KEEP IT UP!!!!
You are all BEAST MODE in my book!
This column appears in the Oct. 28 issue of The New York Times Magazine.
The Well Column
Tara Parker-Pope on living well.
While the pull-up has been used by everyone from middle-school gym teachers to Marine drill instructors to measure fitness, the fact is that many fit people, particularly women, can’t do even one. To perform a pull-up, you place your hands on a raised bar using an overhand grip, arms fully extended and feet off the floor. (The same exercise, performed with an underhand grip, is often called a chin-up.) Using the muscles in your arms and back, you pull yourself up until your chin passes the bar. Then the body is lowered until the arms are straight, and the exercise is repeated. The Marines say a male recruit should be able to do at least 3 pull-ups or chin-ups, but women are not required to do them. In school, 14-year-old boys can earn the highest award on the government’s physical fitness test by doing 10 pull-ups or chin-ups: for 14-year-old girls, it’s 2.
To find out just how meaningful a fitness measure the pull-up really is, exercise researchers from the University of Dayton found 17 normal-weight women who could not do a single overhand pull-up. Three days a week for three months, the women focused on exercises that would strengthen the biceps and the latissimus dorsi — the large back muscle that is activated during the exercise. They lifted weights and used an incline to practice a modified pull-up, raising themselves up to a bar, over and over, in hopes of strengthening the muscles they would use to perform the real thing. They also focused on aerobic training to lower body fat.
By the end of the training program, the women had increased their upper-body strength by 36 percent and lowered their body fat by 2 percent. But on test day, the researchers were stunned when only 4 of the 17 women succeeded in performing a single pull-up.
“We honestly thought we could get everyone to do one,” said Paul Vanderburgh, a professor of exercise physiology and associate provost and dean at the University of Dayton, and an author of the study. But Vanderburgh said the study and other research has shown that performing a pull-up requires more than simple upper-body strength. Men and women who can do them tend to have a combination of strength, low body fat and shorter stature. During training, because women have lower levels of testosterone, they typically develop less muscle than men, Vanderburgh explained. In addition, they can’t lose as much fat. Men can conceivably get to 4 percent body fat; women typically bottom out at more than 10 percent.
So no matter how fit they are, women typically fare worse on pull-up tests. But Vanderburgh notes that some men struggle, too, particularly those who are taller or bigger generally or have long arms. This is related to an interesting phenomenon: if you compare a smaller athlete to an athlete who has the same exact build but is 30 percent bigger, the bigger athlete will be only about 20 percent stronger, even though he has to carry about 30 percent more weight.
“We’re a combination of levers; that’s how we move,” Vanderburgh said. “Generally speaking, the longer the limb, the more of a disadvantage in being able to do a pull-up. I look at a volleyball player and wouldn’t expect her to be able to do a pull-up, but I know she’s fit.”

Results must be submitted by Sunday 11/04 11:59pm ET
Make no mistake, this workout will be a challenge, but we have added extra motivation for you to continue to push through barriers you once thought impossible. LuRong Living is proud to announce this week' Tribute WOD: Letendre. Your participation in this Tribute WOD honors Lt. Letendre and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defending our freedom. When you tempted to stop, quit, or slow down, know that your temporary sacrifice honors the sacrifices that too many of our brothers and sisters have had to make to protect our freedom and way of life.
Lt. Brian Scott Letendre died May 3, 2006, while conducting combat operations against enemy forces in Al Anbar province, Iraq. He was assigned to the Marine Forces Reserve's Inspector and Instructor Staff, 1st Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Plainville, Connecticut.
Who is Lt. Letendre?
In the family's statement, Letendre's parents, Milton and June Letendre, said "Several times throughout his life, Brian could have chosen the easier or more comfortable path, but he didn't," the statement read. "He . . . followed his heart to where he felt he could help make this world a better place."
Letendre trained at the Quantico Marine Base to become a military infantry officer. He was deployed to Okinawa, Japan; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and then to Kuwait in 2003. His son was born the day before he crossed into Iraq (March 19, 2003). He was with 1st Bn 2nd Marines in the battle for An Nasiriyah, Iraq where he earned the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with a Combat "V" for valor.
In 2006 Letendre volunteered for an 11-man "military transition" team that was to train Iraqi army recruits, who have been so relentlessly targeted by suicide bombers. Three weeks ago, the job took him to Tammin, in the Anbar province of Iraq -- the swath of desert west of Baghdad considered the heart of the Sunni Arab insurgent movement. Military officials did not specify where Letendre was in Anbar when the suicide bomber attacked. His survivors include his wife, Autumn, his 3-year-old son Dillon, his parents, and two brothers and those of us who were lucky to know him.
"For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never savor." -unknown
I know that Lt. Letendre would have never wanted a memorial workout named after him. He wasn't about being recognized or remembered. He wanted everyone to do their job to the best of their ability, and take pride in what they realize they can accomplish. So please, do this workout for every hero that has ever fallen in battle, those that were missing in action, and especially for those who weren't lucky enough to have a workout named after them. Real heroes are all around you. They are the old people behind the wheel on the freeway slowing you down. They are normal everyday looking people. Never underestimate anyone. Most importantly, don't underestimate yourself.

Lt. Brian Scott Letendre died May 3, 2006, while conducting combat operations against enemy forces in Al Anbar province, Iraq. He was assigned to the Marine Forces Reserve's Inspector and Instructor Staff, 1st Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Plainville, Connecticut.
Who is Lt. Letendre?
In the family's statement, Letendre's parents, Milton and June Letendre, said "Several times throughout his life, Brian could have chosen the easier or more comfortable path, but he didn't," the statement read. "He . . . followed his heart to where he felt he could help make this world a better place."
Letendre trained at the Quantico Marine Base to become a military infantry officer. He was deployed to Okinawa, Japan; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and then to Kuwait in 2003. His son was born the day before he crossed into Iraq (March 19, 2003). He was with 1st Bn 2nd Marines in the battle for An Nasiriyah, Iraq where he earned the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with a Combat "V" for valor.
In 2006 Letendre volunteered for an 11-man "military transition" team that was to train Iraqi army recruits, who have been so relentlessly targeted by suicide bombers. Three weeks ago, the job took him to Tammin, in the Anbar province of Iraq -- the swath of desert west of Baghdad considered the heart of the Sunni Arab insurgent movement. Military officials did not specify where Letendre was in Anbar when the suicide bomber attacked. His survivors include his wife, Autumn, his 3-year-old son Dillon, his parents, and two brothers and those of us who were lucky to know him.
"For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never savor." -unknown
I know that Lt. Letendre would have never wanted a memorial workout named after him. He wasn't about being recognized or remembered. He wanted everyone to do their job to the best of their ability, and take pride in what they realize they can accomplish. So please, do this workout for every hero that has ever fallen in battle, those that were missing in action, and especially for those who weren't lucky enough to have a workout named after them. Real heroes are all around you. They are the old people behind the wheel on the freeway slowing you down. They are normal everyday looking people. Never underestimate anyone. Most importantly, don't underestimate yourself.

Our Friend Mr Fructose!
This post is going to be dedicated to our friend Mr fructose. He is generally seen as an acceptable choice because he is attained through the consumption of fruit, but he is also vilified for his evil form high fructose corn syrup. Now read on as I take you through the fructose adventure!
Fructose is processed in the liver and when too much is consumed it is no longer used as sugar and is converted to fats and is sent it into the bloodstream as triglycerides with uric acid and free radicals (reactive oxygen species) also being formed. With high triglycerides comes a host of other issues including: heart disease, issues relating to appetite hormone regulation (weight gain), insulin resistance and non alcoholic fatty liver disease.
- Triglycerides can build up and cause damage to liver function and when released into the bloodstream can contribute to the growth of plaque in the arterial walls.
- Uric acid can turn off the production of nitric oxide, which helps protect the artery walls from damage.
- Free radicals can damage cell structures and enzymes.
We like to keep fructose consumption to a minimum. A small handful of fruit (mostly berries) is fine and absolutely zero high fructose corn syrup!

Steph's Journey from fat to fit!
Nothing is impossible: "Fat to Fit"!
From www.StoneAgeFuel.com
I grew up competing in gymnastics and at 16 quit competitive gymnastics as a level 10. I finished out my high school years competing in a more relaxed environment for my school. After graduating, I coached for a couple years and by 20 was completely out of the gym. It was all down hill from there! There was lots of drinking with friends, fried bar food and NO working out! All fun! I won't bore you with the obvious, so fast forward to January of 2010.....
My parents had finally retired, the house was on the market and the thought of moving to a new state and having to start over where i knew absolutely NO ONE!, I started heeding the words my mom said... "Steph, you're not fat, but you've gained some weight." Well, i usually just rolled my eyes and went about my business. And i must say, I thank all my friends back home who always sugar coated for me and said, "Oh no, you look fine! You're not fat." The moving factor was sadly not enough motivation...
Ok, so I finally make it to Nevada and the new house has a beautiful in-ground salt water pool, and since I don't know anyone and have no intent on getting a job right away, I spend about a month swimming a couple hours everyday. That alone helped me lose about 10#. Well, unfortunately now, it's time to get a job. So I start working at Atlantis, where, minus all the mushy details, I meet Chandler, which took some work on my part but that's another story. Apparently, the way to that boys heart is by mentioning CrossFit and gymnastics in the same sentence and he's sold (sorry ladies, it won't work again though).
March 2011, I ventured to CrossFit where Chandler tried to kill me. My first WOD ended up as a 200m run, 15 KB swings, 10 Burpees and then 10 min posted outside against the wall, dizzy and about to pass out. LOL! After a little recovery, I went back in and redeemed myself by playing around with some old gymnastics. To Chandler's surprise I didn't give up and was in there again for round 2 a couple days later. Needless to say I became hooked!
So, those of us who know Chandler, know that he's a freak of nature and can do pretty much anything you throw at him. Well, I didn't want to be the girlfriend that couldn't keep up, so I stuck with it, he taught me Olympic lifts and I taught him gymnastics! (Yes, he should be crediting his gymnastics abilities to me!) While the hard work and regular time put into the gym each day was paying off, I needed more!
Phase 2: PALEO! Day 2 of having met Chandler, he invited me to a seminar: Mark Sisson's: Primal Blueprint. I was not interested, to say the least. It didn't last long, I got guilt tripped every meal, until i finally gave in. I didn't know how i was going to give up my breads and pastas! Eh, it wasn't too bad. I finally realized how much of a difference eating clean would help me keep getting closer to my goals!
Enough with the stories! I hope that I can provide a little inspiration, even if it's just one person! I look back now and realize how much I didn't care and I settled with the fact that I was going to be overweight. All i really needed was a little fire under my butt! While the numbers have changed, I know they mean nothing! I feel better about me, I have more energy, I have accomplished things -10k races, mud runs, Tough Mudder- things i never would have thought about doing. It has become a never ending journey and I still have a ways to go, but all the hard work, dedication, discipline, self control, the overall lifestyle change, has and will continue to change my life for the better!
Oh and of course there are pictures to go with all this!!! =) Enjoy!
-Steph
