On Preparation...for the WILD!

So I'm really excited right now because I leave on Thursday to go camping with my favorite Canuck, Rachel! And although I've been "cheating" a little with this paleo challenge because I wanted to take advantage of Minneapolis/St. Paul Restaurant Week, I plan on keeping it very paleo out in the wild. Just like our caveman ancestors, right?

Last week of groceries

There are only six more days left on my personal paleo cooking on a budget challenge, so most likely this weekend was my last trip to the grocery store and the farmer's market. I knew last week that I was going to go over my initial $250 budget, so I probably splurged a little bit more than I should have...hey, I'm from Texas: we go big, or we go home.

Paleo Cooking Challenge Checkin

Time for a check-in on my little personal paleo cooking challenge - where I stand on the grocery bill front, what I plan on cooking this week, and what's already prepped for the week ahead!

Saturday WOD and Cooking Update

Ok, so I need to play a little catch up here and update on a few things. Last week, I was out of commission for working out with this weird stomach weirdness, so I didn't work out until Saturday. But..I did do some cooking on the paleo challenge, so I need to update that (and also recap what I've been eating).

100th POST!!!! And...First grocery trip

Yay! I've reached ONE HUNDRED posts! If this were anything like the movies, my 100th post would be commemorated with some special prize while I'm checking out at the grocery store...alas, I just got to go to the grocery store and pick up my first batch of groceries on my new paleo cooking challenge.

Paleo Cooking CHALLENGE

It's officially July...and that means its officially the start of a new challenge! This time, I'm "making over" my cooking and eating habits.

Paleo Challenge Results - Part Two

During open gym today, I went to complete my Crossfit Total for my second goal in my paleo challenge. I wanted to best my previous Crossfit Total of 395 and try to reach 450. It pains me to say that I did not meet this goal, but I'm still proud of my accomplishments in just 4 months.

Paleo Challenge Results - Part One

I'm happy to report the first of my results for the paleo challenge I set for myself back in April. I suppose technically this is the second set of results, since I didn't exactly "pass" my 400m running test Tuesday, but I plan on having a rematch with a track this weekend.

Meeting challenges and "meating" MEATZA!

Lots of good stuff to write about fitness-wise these days! I'm gearing up for my stint in Ramona for the Kids Cert, and then its not too much longer until Level 1. Obviously, I've shown my dedication to fitness by being enthusiastic and taking the initiative to get certified, but I still felt like there was something lacking...enter: my own personal Paleo Challenge! I think it's high time I buckled down and stuck to something so I can see those body composition numbers actually improve from January!
