    From the “Growing Up Paleo” Link:
    “So in moments of weakness and rationalizing to myself that I somehow earned this meal and thinking that I would only be effecting myself‚Ķ.I indulged! The next day my little helpless newborn son had a reaction. I am not quite sure that I would call it a rash‚Ķ.more like a horribly painful looking burn on his cute little bottom, not to mention he had an upset belly to boot! What I did not realize in my glutenous gluten filled state was that what I ate totally effected my breastfed baby!”
    This just a bit kooky. The newborn (just arrived home from the hospital) had an upset belly. How does she know that her newborn had an upset belly? He was crying, maybe? Might there be any other reason a newborn might cry? And he had not a rash, but something that looked like a “painful looking burn.” (As opposed to a non painful looking burn, otherwise known as redness) What exactly does this even mean? Might there be any cause other than mom eating lasagna and bread the day before?
    Honestly, this diet as religion stuff is getting silly. Listen to the videos of the top athletes at the CrossFit Games. Kristen Clever eats rice. Miko eats pasta. Speal eats what he wants, but eats “clean.” People drink chocolate milk after their WOD’s.
    Odds are if you’re spending 99% of your time obsessing about diet, you’re not spending enough time doing the WOD’s. And if you’re doing the WOD’s, you can afford to have lasagna once in a while.

    The last couple days have been spent hiking in vineyards, truffle oak fields and woods in the rocky hills of the Luberon mountain region. Today I felt like a good ass whuppin was in order.
    Deck of Cards – push ups, pull ups, sit ups, squats. Joker: 1k run down a steep rocky trail and back. 51:41.
    500m swim in 65 degree water to cool down, literally. I didn’t time it bu I think it was around 10-15 minutes.
    And, what Hari said. Also.

    Happy birthday, Brad!
    Brad and I concocted our birthday WOD. He did 35 reps, I did 33:
    330m/350m row
    33/35 wall balls (10# for me)
    33/35 kettlebell swings (35# for me, since there are no 33# kb)
    33/35 burpees
    33/35 sit ups
    33/35 squats
    33/35 push presses (33# bar for me)
    330/350m row
    I had the timer on as a necklace, which is a bad idea with wall balls as at some point, I wapped it and it stopped keeping track. So Brad beat me, and we think the whole shebang took about 13 minutes.
    And then I did today’s WOD, but just three rounds. Because I’m crazy.
