A reversal on carbs →
this article is from last tuesday, so it’s probably OLD news but I wanted to post it anyway!
A Reversal on Carbs Most people can count calories. Many have a clue about where fat lurks in their diets. However, fewer give carbohydrates much thought, or know why they should. But a growing number of top nutritional scientists blame excessive carbohydrates — not fat — for America’s...

Holiday Junk Food Junkie!
With all the tempting holiday treats around the past few days I feel like a junk food junkie! Everything is so tasty and sugary sweet. I can’t resist! The funny thing is that my stomach has been doing somersaults and punching me from the inside out (i mean I have been in some serious discomfort from all the sugar and processed junk), but I continue to have a bite of cake here and a cookie...

Overwhelmed
Overwhelmed with the Holidays and my job search (I think the holidays just magnify any and all stress in one’s life). My food has been NOT GOOD (cookies, candy, bagels, pizza, etc). Yes I’ve been eating bad, but the thing that’s really bothering me, is that, it’s not really bothering me. It’s like, I eat a slice of pizza and I don’t even care or feel guilty. ...

Coaching at Crossfit 310
Kris (owner/head coach) is gone this week and has asked some of us Crossfit veterans to “coach” while he is away. I am covering the 9:15 class M-T-W-TH. Nothing crazy, no teaching new/unfamiliar movements or anything like that. Just open the gym and “oversee” the class, “coach” everyone through the WOD (which in my mind means “cheer” and motivate...

Attempt 1: Spaghetti Squash with Ground Turkey
My kitchen looks like a bomb went off in it!0 I should have prefaced that with, I NORMALLY DON’T COOK. So, anything more than frying up some eggs or mixing/throwing some items together is quite an ordeal for me. Also, I think I may have been working with a not fully ripe Spaghetti Squash (? does that make a difference…?)
So… I followed a recipe of a primal master: ...

Mark Sisson's Carbohydrate Curve
Yes, I have read “The Primal Blueprint” by Mark Sisson. Normally any books that aren’t novels/fiction bore me to death, but Mark’s Book was great and an easy read. One of the main topics he covers that really stuck with me is the CARBOHYDRATE CURVE:
0-50 grams/day – Ketosis and Accelerated Fat Burning Acceptable for a day or two of Intermittent Fasting towards ...

Ice Cups

-Allows for a better penetration of the cooling effects of ice therapy when compared to traditional ice bags. -Ice...

today started out rough after the day I had yesterday. Didn’t feel like working out, and felt like crying a little bit (because I know the people there are my friends and would have comforted me) when I first got to the gym. Pushed that all aside and glad I did, because I had a great workout.

Weight Watchers Upends Its Points System →
yep! time to stop choosing a 100cal pack of oreos over an apple “weight watcherers.” Don’t get me wrong, I did weight watchers for 5months and lost 15lbs, it helped me learn portion control, but didn’t teach me much about choosing “HEALTHY” foods.

80:20 Nutrition:Fitness
This was my topic/post today for the Crossfit310 website. I liked it, and wanted to share with the tumblrs. It includes a link to an interesting article that you may have seen before, since I found it through a fellow tumblr barbell awakening (thanks!)

Ouch! Mine hurts!
Crossfit workout on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving was RUN 1 MILE for time. Hadn’t run in so long, and I think my “I feel the need, the need for speed” mentality might have made me push it a little too hard.
Now what to do about it? Everything I’ve read says “complete rest” from any activity that causes discomfort,...
