INTRODUCE YOURSELF HERE! Hi my name is....
I'm profoundly deaf since birth. I just love staying fit and working out. I use this site to keep track of what I eat, and how much I work out. At my job I sit on my *kitten* all day, so this is a really nice break. Feel free to elaborate a LOT more than that in your own introductions. LOL. Be creative, you know like your…

inspirational Cross Fit Quotes
I need some inspiration. Any good quotes for cross-fitters? I like this: “At the peak of tremendous and victorious effort, while the blood is pounding in your head, all suddenly becomes quiet within you. Everything seems clearer and whiter than ever before, as if great spotlights had been turned on. At that moment, you…

Whats your favorite paleo website or book for recipes
Wow, there are some amazing paleo/primal websites out there. But I'm drowning in info. Im still trying to make sense of what paleo is. I really need one good website for recipes, and preferably something I can look on my smart phone while I am shopping. And I'd like to buy a book, or two, maybe used on Amazon too. Please…
Singles: 600. Double Unders: ZERO!!
I mastered 600 singles, with a a lotta tripping, but going without a break. YAY! But I still can't muster up ONE double under. Any tips? I guess its silly to ask online, cos I need a live demo. I saw a previous posting on buying jump ropes.... anyone want to share again what jump rope I could buy and practice at home? And…
work out clothes
I need new shoes and work out pants. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS? THANK YOU! Rain
injuries
HI Any of you have any comments about what injuries are most common in CF? How to prevent them? Deal with them? Or just moan about your injury? I hurt my achilles tendon, not sure how, maybe just sprinting. Im walking around like I have a wooden peg leg. Just lightly touching the back my tendon really feels very tender and…
Shakes, Bars, Supplements?
Can you tell me what supplements you take (with Brand names) and why?
more on PROTEIN. How much is enough for a crossfitter?
First: A digression: Maybe I am missing something but the "reports" on MFP website are stupid compared to the awesome and useful charts, pies, and tables per day, week, or month you get on the MFP android app. Go figure. Anyway, from MFP app (not the website), I see that I get on average 55 grams of protein per day, for…

Avocado Chicken Salad * 1 cup chicken, diced * 1 egg, diced * 2 tbps diced red onion * 1/4 cup diced celery or zucchini * 1 avocado, ripe * 1 lemon, juiced * salt…
Embarrassing CF moments?!
I have this embarrassing problem, but I can laugh about it. I seriously have workouts so hard sometimes that I realized afterwards I peed on myself. This happens with box jumps and jump ropes. No surprise with all the slamming going on that my bladder can't keep it together. With all the sweating going on, no one notices.…
weight loss/gain
Interesting, since I started crossfit 3 months ago, I've gained 3 pounds and I'm definitely slimming down a little, and getting a lot toner, especially my legs. I look forward to some tighter abs, but I'll be happy anyway. Anyone notice the same thing?
For you HR monitors out there, how many????
For those of you who have used HR monitors during workouts, how many calories do you tend to burn in a typical CF workout? Don't worry about being exact, I just want a feel for the range.... MFP has weekly and monthly reports on that, and you can see what the range/variation is, and the generally the average. I'm very…
