SNOW!!!!!

Ahhhh.... Man do I love snow!!! Sure glad that we finally got a good snow up here in the mountains!!!! Yes, I had to make a snow angel... :)

I had to do an impromptu WOD at home yesterday due to the weather and none of us able to get to our box...

  3 Rounds:

• 30 seconds jumping jacks
• 10 kettlebell clean & press (each arm)
• 10 push ups
• 45 sec plank
• 10 weighted lunges(total)
• 10 burpees

Made a great Paleo dessert last night too!!! Banana "ice cream"!! Soooo yummy!! Below is what I put in it... I have no idea the measurements, so just do a trial and error to see what works for you!!! 

• 1 frozen banana
• unsweetened cocoa powder
• unsweetened coconut milk
• honey or maple syrup
• vanilla

mix all ingredients together in a blender/mixer until it looks like the consistency of frozen yogurt.... You could also put in other frozen fruits to make different flavors as well.. :)

Enjoy and stay safe and warm!!

Long time......

Ok, so I have to start out with an apology.....:( I kinda fell off the planet for a while!!! Since I've been away lots of things have changed in my world!! Just bear with me for this post... Might be a wee bit long and drawn out... :)

I am officially a Crossfit addict!!! I sucked it up and joined one of my local boxes here!! And fell head over heals in love with it!! I started with their On Ramp sessions in November and then started the real deal in December... I have lost 10 pounds since I started in November and feel the best i have ever felt!!!

I strongly suggest to everyone that this year you try new things that push you, emotionally, physically, mentally.... You will surprise yourself!!!

I apparently am a gluten for punishment because I dove in headfirst to several things this year that I never thought I would do!!!!.....
      1) 8 week Paleo Challenge- Whew buddy.... We finished week 3 this week and still plugging thru it!!! I have lost 5 of those 10 lbs in the last 2 1/2 weeks!! turns out I really don't need all that bread, rice, cheese, dairy, sweets, and anything processed!!! I am learning all kinds of new ways to cook and new things to replace those items I can't eat with....Tricky sometimes...I sure do miss my ice cream....:(
      2) Registered for my first true 5K in June!!! think i will be ok, but still a little nervous about it since i'm not the world's best runner....
      3) Participating in my second Warrior Dash in April!! Love these!!!
      4) Got talked into a Crossfit semi competition, River Ruckus, locally.... YIKES!!! I will be in a scaled team with our box... Rx was not happening!!! This is an all day affair that consists of 3 WOD's... EEEK!!! and this one is two weeks after I finish the Warrior Dash! I'm beginning to think i'm a small bit crazy!!!

I will posting the Paleo recipes here to periodically so feel free to try them out!!! Just a little pic below of my new tank that i got!!! :)

I promise I won't fall off the planet again :) 

Stay focused, eat healthy, and lift heavy!!
