Samoa Cookie Bars

I did the first open WOD, it could have been worse…much much worse. In fact I kind of enjoyed in that sick sadistic I had the fran cough afterward kind of way. I haven’t really done snatches that much so I was kind of pumped I made it through 26 of them at my one rep max weight!

I never liked coconut so I never ate samoas…everyone else told me of their greatness…and then I went paleo…I love coconut now and so if I ate cookies (which I still do….) I would imagine they tasted like this amazing cookie bar.

Crossfit and Leadership.

I started doing crossfit 8 months ago and it has changed my mindset on leadership, faith, fitness and food. Now I am not going to preach at you to join crossfit because it is not for everybody, but general fitness is! I’ll try and unpack these points as I go, should make for an interesting blog series!

Paleo Brownies

Reading a lot of people that think if you make paleo cheats of regular food you might as well not be eating paleo. Maybe thats true…I’d say probably not, I know I need something different every once in a while and if I can do that without wheat, processed sugar or food-like products then I’m gonna do it.

Red Thai Curry and Pineapple Salsa.

I spent the afternoon cooking and made some new things, and some favorites. This is going to be a straight up food blog. Today I’m gonna share a favorite, Red Thai Curry and something new, Pineapple salsa

I discovered this a while back on the food network site and have since adjusted it and made it my own.

Why I crossfit

About 8 months ago I decided my fitness goals had to change.

I was a general fitnesser (no that isn’t a word, the squiggly line of auto correct is glaring at me), got in to a gym a couple times a week if i was lucky and did the regular run and lift weights thing. My diet was a mess, I felt sluggish and, because I had moved to Charleston not that long ago, wanted some form of community out side of work.

Enter Crossfit.

Deer Chili

One thing I do on a weekly basis so I have food to eat for lunch or a quick dinner is make a big pot or crockpot of something I can eat on. This week was paleo deer chili. This is my second round of making it and I’m pretty happy with how it goes. I think you could swap out the meat for a lean ground beef and get the same result!

A new start

I had to start off fresh with the blog. It wasn’t going anywhere and I haven’t necessarily shifted gears professionally but my hobbies have taken a bit of a change.

9 months ago I started crossfitting and about 6 months ago I started eating more of a paleo  diet and it has changed a lot for me. I have more drive to do things, my goals have started taking more of an active direction.
