That's unfortunate Liz. Maybe it's time to nix the potlucks and dinners out and instead go shopping or do something other than eat with those friends. I hope you have a good Paleo Meetup!

I'm reading The Primal Blueprint, need to finish reading Lean In (business book), and I just finished Inferno (typical Dan Brown). Debating which Fiction book I want to read. I have one on my Kindle titled The Walk that I need to get to but I have The Barrens in paperback that I've been meaning to read forever...…

Funny, I was just reading the RunKeeper blog about this yesterday. They have a way to create a custom workout plan, I don't know if it's a Premium option or not as I haven't tried it, but you may want to check it out: http://blog.runkeeper.com/597/runkeeper-training-plans-and-custom-workouts/

When I first heard of this, I thought that it would indeed be an unfair advantage that she has over other women. Not thinking about the hormones, I was thinking that her physical being, muscles, bone structure, is capable of doing more in CF than a naturally born woman. I didn't consider the hormonal therapy but that is a…

This board seems to have faded away. Too bad because there is so much stuff in Fort Worth to discuss! Greeneyes - I hope someone sent you a PM about working out. I'm in downtown FW most of the day and that's were I workout too. Good luck!

as long as you are below 200 there's no worries.

You can convert rowing meters to miles. i.e., row 5000 meters and that's similar to running 3.1 miles. Is this what you are asking, or am I missing something?

I love the challenge; being pushed to do things you never thought you could - and then actually getting better and stronger! I love the personal coaching and how everyone encourages each other during the workout. And everyone can do what is best for them - if you don't want to compete you don't have to, no one will push…

Awesome! I love challenges! But what are the guidelines for 90%? Mark Sisson says to strive for 100% and the rare treat/deviation is your 20% so that you end up at 80% If you go into it thinking 80% than you'll likely do less. My gym challenge is over next week and I wish it would have been a 60 day challenge instead of a…

OP: I made my first infused water yesterday and it is really good. I just sliced some limes and lemons, put them in a jug, added water and let it sit in the fridge all day. Amazing how quickly the water was infused and tastes of the lemons/limes. I'm going to try it with other fruit soon - I love oranges so that's my next…

i saw this a YouTube: http://youtu.be/fpxPoizVT9c

Great tips! I guess I've had some pretty good coaching after all - I've been coached to keep back straight. And me being a shorty was told I have to row more to get the same distance as a taller person. Boo! I'm going to try pushing hard from my heels - that piece I didn't know.

Though I have complete respect for cultures that are vegetarian, i.e. I have some Indian friends (from India) that are vegetarians by culture - I respect that and wouldn't encourage them to eat meat by any means. I have friends, however that are vegetarians by choice... raw vegan to boot - yikes! I can't eat that way.…

I think I'm ready to do a Whole30 - it will be my first one. I've been practicing and thinking about what I'll be making and eating. I've also told my husband of my intent so that he's ready for me to be making more whole food meals (and also not eating everything he cooks!) So.... I'm in!

Here's a something that I grew up eating and now make for my daughter. It's a dessert-type treat that is typically eaten with crema fresca (creme fraiche) - or not... I eat them just plain. Fried Plantains 2 - 3 very ripe plantains - they have to be black on the outside and soft. If they are still yellow they will be too…

That's cool, thanks for posting this.

That's a great deal!

Last night my daughter wanted to make orange sorbet - we didn't have any oranges but we had two large lemons - made lemon sorbet in the Vitamix. Ingredients: 2 large peeled lemons (take as much of the white pith off as possible), 3 TB sugar (she added another TB because it was too tart), and 2.5 cups ice. Let the Vitamix…

My husband loves to make his own sauces and salsas - he uses the Vitamix for those things. The other day I made my own applesauce with Fuji apples and a bit of lemon juice - it was pretty good. I didn't even peel the apples, just cored to remove the center and the seeds. I want to try to make my own almond milk too. I…

This is all kinds of wrong! :wink:

Cool! thanks for sharing!

Running and walking. I think Crossfit has helped the running - it would kill me if I wasn't already dead from CF! :tongue:

i think I can do this challenge... the most I can do now is around 45 seconds. Thanks Coach! :happy:

Good stuff - thanks for sharing! I've seen people use the gymnastics grip but didn't realize what they were until now. :happy:

Canned meats like canned salmon; I've seen canned crab and even canned lobster. I can't vouch for the flavor but it's an option.

@ ascrit - you're sexy and you know it... you workout!

Cool that your box was featured! But I really dislike the way that TV news magazine-shows do stories. It's always about the shocking headline and the tease. Then when the story comes on, it's 30 seconds long with a lot of sound bites - no substance at all. I think it's really crappy the way that CF was singled out for this…

yep... felt that coming on when I was doing singles at a furious pace (haven't made it to DU yet)... I thought I better wear a pad when I see DUs in the WOD! :noway:

Thanks for posting about the HEB Community Challenge... Fort Worth is the #2 Metro in the state - c'mon y'all - we can take Austin!!!!! Sign up and everyday that you track an activity the community gets 10 points. Upload a photo of you in action and we get 50 points!

Tough one Georgie... I think it's okay for the gym to use you as an example but make it clear that you will not be buying from him or be selling it on his behalf... that you will continue to buy from your friend and if asked you will say she is your distributor. If he/the gym is okay with that then sure have them use you…
