Happy New Year! I just ate a massive amount of processed food. I'm targeting Jan 4th as my day to get much cleaner on the eating. Amy- I'm going to start to get moving. Not sure yet on what or how. But I need to start up again! Have fun all!! Wishing you many blessings in Sweet 16!

Amy, I agree. The group inspires me too!

On my way back to Texas via Amtrack train. Jennifer Young met me for an 11 minute stop in Illinois! Fun! Everyone's Christmas celebrations sound amazing. I'm in a downward spiral with food but looking forward to getting back on track soon. Soon...

Best of luck with the new protocol Kris. I need to try something. I have tried AltShift twice but I get derailed on the 3shift. It tempts me back to high carbs and can't keep calories in check. Will try again soon. Sorry I've been so off the map. My Mac is on the fritz so I know I can't get any podcasts produced. I'm still…

And Jen... again... THANK YOU for that awesome video and your recap of your experience. You are the bomb. All of us are!!!

Great challenge posts! I love the fitnessblender videos. Keep up the greatness you guys! I did a crosstraining workout. Yay me! Food was off. But I feel good. No dinkin' around November!!!

So we are here in Vegas! What a blast to see John, Jen, Arturo and to meet Heron!!!

I used to juice all the time Kevin. Getting ready to do a 5-7 day fast after Vegas. Monday I think. You??

Thanks Howie, Heron & John. I know I'm not alone. Just hate starting over completely!

I am DOWN for the group dinner! Steaks sound great!!

Your friend looks great John. Greg is lucky to have a friend like you to work with him. I was fascinated by Amy's advice. I'm always amazed what you can learn in our group! Congratulations on your progress Howie. Well, I finally got on the scale also. I needed to see how bad things were and I was right they are pretty bad.…

Amen Heron! Good things to keep in mind. Howie- September was so so for me also. I certainly didn't lose any weight. Or inches/size. My problem is the nuts and nut butters. Also avocado and other healthy fats. I don't feel satiated without these but they seem to be adding a lot of calories to my day that would probably be…

October??

Hey Guys. Not sure where my post from earlier today went. (??) Kevin, I am so sorry. I am keeping you and your wife in my prayers. I can see why you were MIA for a while. Let us know how your bike goes. We are having fun following Howie's biking. We can follow your mileage also even if its from your living room. :) Jen- I…

Happy Tuesday! Busy day. No plans of a workout in sight. I'll start thinking on that. I've avoided the scale for about a month. I got a false sense of security when my pants were a little loose a few weeks back. Now my pants are very, very tight. Some don't fit. I don't think it's time to pull out the scale. I'm going to…

Are you up to "O"... Does Hall & Oats count? Prince??

Busy here too Howie. But glad to see all you guys and read through the updates. I did see your medals over on FB John. Super proud of you! I liked Amy's post last week too Heron. That part about genuinely admiring others once you appreciate yourself. I get that. Not quite there yet. I admire others but I am still stuck in…

I think I just saw that Heron has logged in for 370 days or some crazy high number like that. Amazing!!!!

Kris- how is your transition back to meat going? I admire you and the reasons you do things. Meat or no meat, you seem so thoughtful about your decisions. I'm out of town for a couple more days. I'll catch up on all the posts later but I love skimming through them. Everybody have a great Friday!

I have to weigh in and say that I am an Abel James fan also. He is such a sweet guy too. You gals need to come to Paleo Fx. Abel is an Austin boy and we can all go to Austin and learn from him first hand. ;)

Amy, I love that you do a regular obstacle course. I wish I had one to do around here. Heron - how exciting that your clothes are fitting better. Who the heck cares what the scale says!! Kris - keep up the awesomeness. You and Jen have been missed so it is great to see regular updates from you guys!! Howie - Good for you,…

Go get em Hammer & JT Dogg!! Kris, thanks for the feedback on the project! We need more folks to follow along and interact with it. Please do post to the FB page & share it and weigh-in whenever you can. The students are so excited about being involved. And they're really making the archaeologists think about things they…

You guys are so fantastic. DebSue - BWAhahahhAHahahahah…. such a hilarious image of you in the dreadlocks. I love all the updates. Every one of them made me smile. ('Cept the one where Heron is sick - get well soon girlie) I have a Labor Day weekend planned where I get out and move more than usual. I am excited to have an…

DebSue - I wanted you to choose ABBA! I love how I can hear your workouts. ❤️ I agree with John – it's so wonderful to see you here Kris. I can relate to your level of trail running. I kind of hate running, but if you put me in the middle of the woods everything so beautiful, it just doesn't seem like that monotonous jog…

Thanks John! This makes me sick feel so much better about the way I modified my workout. I love the cross training gym that I visit sometimes. But I'm all about modifying things so that they're reasonable for me. This post makes me feel a lot better!

I know I've already told you but it bears saying again… That shoes are sweet!

John- I should know the answer to this but I don't. What are metcons?

Amy, I finally worked out (A real CrossFit workout) for the first time this morning in several months. My shoulders and elbows are not what they used to be. And there's definitely disappointment because once I get into the workout and wanted to push myself like everybody else. But it's just not worth it. I did other…
