Day 30 of the Paleo Challenge!

"Act as if what you do makes a difference.  It does."

-William James

Above:  GHD Sit-ups can be intimidating, however with some practice and repetition they become more and more manageable.  Today's classes all warmed up on the GHD (Glute-Ham Developer) and got a feel for the aggressive sit-up.  Some more experienced with the big black machine attempted GHD sit-ups during today's WOD.  Even fewer were able to conquer all 5 rounds!  But, don't worry if you didn't tame that beast today, we'll see much more of her in the future [insert evil laugh].

Today's WOD:
"Hansen"
5 rounds for time:
30 KB Swings (2/1.5 pood)
30 Burpees
30 GHD Sit-ups

Day 30 of the 30-day Paleo Challenge - You did it, now let's see the changes and take those AFTER pictures!

CONGRATULATIONS--you made it through 30 days of the Paleo Diet and the beginning to a whole new and improved life!  How do you feel?  How do you look?  How much do you love the Paleo plan?  I know there are a few of you who are going to let their guard down tomorrow, because you "deserve it".  There is NO JUSTIFICATION for eating poorly--you deserve better and you have proven this to yourself the last 30 days.  Don't stop now! Keep the Paleo train going! Yes, that's my recommendation to all of you.  The number one reason we do a Paleo Challenge is to show you that better nutrition is better for you, and doable.  It is doable.

So, instead of going out and throwing away everything you just worked for by eating pizza till you throw up, how about you do some good and donate your very clean blood!  One of the perks of being Paleo is that your blood is very clean.  I am a regular blood donor and try to give as much as I can, whenever I can.  Its nice knowing more Paleo CrossFitters are donating blood.  Call me a fitness snob or fitness elitist, but if I had a choice when having a blood transfusion, I'd request a Paleo CrossFitter pint!  If you have never given blood before, it only takes about an hour of your day and the painful pinch only hurts for a few seconds.  I hate needles and have hated needles since I could talk, but somehow I manage to get through it--just remind yourself that you are saving up to 3 lives with just one pint!  Oh, and don't even think about taking one of the free donuts when you're done, bring in a sweet potato or banana for after and eat a good sized Paleo meal within the hour.
