CrossFit Boston

Ladies, this is it!  If you have not been taking your nutrition seriously now is the time.  CrossFit Boston has organized a Paleo Challenge that will run from November 1st to January 10th, with cash prizes for the top male and female most amazing transformation.  Now, everyone draws motivation from different sources but I am pretty sure we can all agree that the thought of cold, hard cash gets everyone's blood pumping!

This is a great way to step up your commitment to a healthy lifestyle and to become more involved with the amazing community of people we have here at CrossFit Boston.  You will have support coming from all angles; me, the other coaches, the other members and even people from outside of the gym. 

I suggest you all sign up and see what great things will happen.  I am going to be committing to a 100% Paleo Diet right along side you and I will need the support from you all as well. 

Sign up right now!

Molly bikes to CrossFit Boston every morning!  A great way to warm up for the workout.

This session is off to a good start.  We are having a blast so far with a great group of strong women. 

Today's workout included some overhead squats and a run in the beautiful, brisk fall weather we had this morning.

We all know that nutrition is a huge factor in determining your success.  At CrossFit Boston we encourage two different nutrition programs.  One is the Paleo Diet which focuses more on the quality of your food, and the other is the Zone Diet which focuses on quality as well as quantity.  We encourage everyone to start with Paleo and simply make better food choices.  After that we get into doing math and figuring out how many Blocks you need on the Zone. 

Either way you go, eating healthy is expensive.  But the cost is not even comparable to the escessive medical bills you aquire after a lifetime of eating cracker jacks and cheese danishes.  So we have to make sacrafices in other areas of our life in order to maintain our health.

W, short for sake of privacy, one of the members of the women's program came to us already about a month into the Zone Diet.  First I want to congratulate W for taking on a diet that will make her healthier and a better athlete.  W is also a Graduate Student, working toward her MBA (more congratulations).  So needless to say money is tight.  W has started a blog to share her experiences in grad school, her new fitness adventure and her new diet.  She is amazingly good at eating well on a budget.

I myself could use some advice on budget shopping so I thought I'd post her blog here so that you all can check it out as well.

Another group of women destined for great things!  I'm looking forward to another 3 months working with the women's group.  These ladies are motivated, they want pullups and we will get them there!  So keep checking back to see their progress.
