It is almost here!!
Embrace the Gauntlet team competition! It is a 1 day event this Saturday in Dothan, AL. I am super excited! Ashley and I have been training hard the past week preparing. We have done 3 of the 4 events (Part of them anyway) I think we will do very well. Here are the WODS:
Event 1:
2 RFT
60 ball slams
200m swim
** I have not done competitive swimming since last summer. I just learned how to swim last june when I was training for my first du-athilon , The Splash and Dash. I had so much fun learning how to swim with these girls.
Event 2:
400m run
40 cleans 40 jerks
30 cleans 30 jerks
20 cleans 20 jerks
400m run
(105 lbs.)
** I was a little worried about this WOD. My cleans are decent but 105 is still heavy for that many reps. I did half yesterday and It was challenging but I know we will be fine.
Event 3:
Tabata Deadlifts (155)
Tabata Row for calories
** This one was fun. We did this at the gym to see what our numbers would be and I think we can beast this. A little ambiguous, maybe ;).
Event 4:
10 RFT
20 burpees
25 m buddy carry
**I did my first WOD with a buddy carry last weekend and it was rough. I had to carry a 135 lb. girl 200m for 5 rounds after squat jumps. My legs were dead! It was good prep for this weekend though.
So those are the 4 events I will be participating in this Saturday. Wish me luck! I'll let you know how we do!

I apologize for my disappearance. There have been many changes in my life and blogging just needed to be put on hold. I have picked myself up and I am back! I wish you all a happy new year and I hope you all have set new goals for yourself! The most popular goal people set for the new year is weight loss. I would like to share a new method I have stumbled upon. It is called the Advocare 24 day challenge. The 24 day challenge is a very simple to follow program that consists of 2 phases. The first part is a cleanse and it runs for 10 days. This isn't a laxative or anything you won’t be running for the bathroom. It basically just dislodges any material that is stuck inside your digestive track and helps to remove toxins from your body. The next phase is the max phase. It is 14 days and this is where the magic happens. You take your MNS packets and it has a Meal Replacement shake. Both of these are designed to OVERLOAD your body with good nutrients! This does two this for you, 1 its giving you all your required nutrients so your health will improve AND because you are getting healthier your metabolism can run at full speed. Simply put, think clear all the gunk out, fill it back in with good stuff! You can do this from anywhere. Just pair it with a good clean diet and you'd see great results! I am currently on my second 24 day challenge. I just started my second phase. This is a before and after picture of phase 1. I feel better, I have more energy and I am happy with my results. I really love this system because it gives people confidence and builds a can do attitude. I would love if everyone ate Paleo and did CrossFit but the truth is not everyone "believes" they can. With the Advocare 24 day challenge I can help show people it is possible to lose weight and get healthy. My mom for example, has felt like she was to weak to do CrossFit and not disciplined enough to eat Paleo. She recently started the 24 day challenge and she is eating a very clean diet (basically Paleo) and working out 5 days a week! She is a rockstar. Since being on Advocare products, her attitude has changed. She now has more confidence in herself and believes she can do anything. The 24 day challenge is just another tool in my handbag. My main goal this year is to help as many people as I can and I plan on sharing my methods here with all of you. I will track my progress here and share stories of other peoples progress.
