Halfway through the 50-days!

"The next time you find yourself surrounded by darkness in the middle of a storm and everything is at its absolute worst, take a moment to give thanks – because you know that no matter what, the sun is going to rise. It will get better." 
-Oprah

Above: Lin stopped by Ant's Rip Curl store at the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA. Ant has been doing great since his move to Cali, and has impressed the coaches at LAX CrossFit. Good job, Ant!

Today's WOD:
5 rounds for time:
10 Wall Climbs
10 Toes to Bar
20 Box Jumps (24")

Day 25 of the 50-day Paleo Challenge: Halfway through... have you seen changes?
Hey Paleo Challengers! How has the first 25 days of the Paleo Challenge gone for you?  Are you noticing changes in your body, like Travis?  Or are you like Rome and just cleansing the inside of your body by going strict, since you are a normal Paleo lifer? Whatever the case... If you haven't been feeling and/or looking better, don't forget you can always ask Coach Josh or myself any questions! Maybe you haven't seen any body composition changes because you are eating too much fruit or too much Paleo baked goods? Maybe you are always hungry because you aren't eating enough at your main meals? Maybe you are constantly snacking because you are mistaking thirst for hunger? These are very common mistakes people make when they first start the Paleo Diet, so again, if you have any questions or concerns, ask away!  Also, another great way to get feedback is to comment on any blogpost, you can follow Coach Josh's lead and let us know what you have been eating day in and day out!
