10 days into the 50-day Paleo Challenge!

"Being a professional is doing the things you love to do, on the days you don't feel like doing them."
-Julius Erving



Today's WOD:
AMRAP in 30 minutes, of:
400m Run
10 L Pull-ups
15 Back Extensions (25/15 lbs. plate)
20 Ab-mat Sit-ups (25/15 lbs. plate)

Day 10 of the 50-day Paleo Challenge:  Baked Butternut Squash and Apples!
I made this the other night and it turned out to be a quick, but delicious side to your meal, especially with grilled pork tenderloin!

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 a container of pre-cubed Butternut Squash (found at Costco)
1 apple peeled and diced (I prefer Fuji apples)
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
6 tbsp of water
(optional) handful of chopped pecans

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Wash, peel, and dice your apple. Then, in a Pyrex/glass baking pan add half the container of butternut squash and diced apples.  Sprinkle approximately 6 tablespoons of water onto the squash and apples. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top, then pop in the oven for 20 minutes.  Stir every 5 minutes. Turn oven off and let sit for 10 more minutes (if you're adding pecans, then add them after the 20 minutes and let sit in the "off" oven for another 10 minutes).  Pull out of oven, stir it, and serve warm with some pork tenderloin and salad!

  1. Today's WOD was pretty long and taxing to the core - good job to all that pushed through what was required of you!
