    I left my weightlifting shoes at the Box earlier this week – they’re in a black Risto bag. They should be in one of the cubby-holes. Can someone bring them to the desk to hold until I pick them up? Thanks and Happy New Year everyone!

  • Dex

    Murph!!!!! I’m gonna get me a weight vest!
    happy new decade!

    @Jenn: done.
    @Black Box Paleo Challenge: remember, people, the new year starts tonight at midnight. While you might indulge in some non-paleo treats post-midnight, be sure to get on track with your breakfast tomorrow!

  • jenn

    Thanks Allison!
    And I’m in for the 30-day paleo challenge again. I’m going for strict like last year, with the exception of taste-testing my cupcakes, since I should make sure what I’m selling is edible. (Note: For those of you who are not Paleo and like cupcakes, please let me know if you’d like to be my taste-tester!)
    I’m also going to try to keep a better record of the recipes and menus I create. My plan for a Paleo cookbook didn’t quite come to fruition last year, but hopefully I’ll be closer this time around.

    Hey Allison, going to start tomorrow, my meal plan is as followed, and it might look familiar.
    breakfast
    -3 poached omega three eggs, or boiled depending when I take them out
    -almonds
    -blueberries
    Lunch
    -chicken fajita salad
    Snack
    -2 oz chicken apple, some avocado slices
    Dinner
    -grilled salmon, roasted green beans or sauteed broccoli with garlic
    -side salad
    I stress tomorrow because I am most likely going to get smashed faced before 12, so I think i will start when I wake up.

    Subbed 160 20-inch box jumps for the miles (so 320 box jumps total). Everything else Rx.

  • Dex

    58:55 rx’d with 20lbs weight vest. This wod kicked my a__ !!!!!!!

  • Lisa

    Sam, the most popular day to start a diet is ‘tomorrow’ ;)
    Nice meal plan. I am looking forward to the Paleo challenge. Almost as much as I am looking forward to skiing after all the squats today.
    Before I awoke this morning I was having a Crossfit nightmare where I was doing a chipper-type WOD and the pullup bars were so large I could not grip them at all. Then I woke up, checked the site and saw ‘Murph’ was up!
    44:19 scaled my way:
    1 mile, 38 pullups (no band), 100 pushups, 300 squats, 1 mile.
    Breaking the reps into 10 rounds of Cindy really helped although my pullups fell from sets of 5 to sets of 3 pretty quickly.
    Happy New Year everyone!

    I’m in for the Paleo challenge too. I did last year’s challenge and stuck with it through the year. In 2011 I’ll try to cook more of my own food, buy more meat directly (e.g. farmers market, CSA, meatshare) and try harder to avoid the occasional lapse. I’m also down to throw the $20 or whatever into the pot.
