Sorry I haven’t gotten a menu plan together or done much posting lately. I’ve been preparing for, and then recovering from, my first ever Crossfit competition. I participated in Cold War 2 – a competition put on by Crossfit Liberation. I was on one of three teams from my box. Our four person team, aka ”Rubicon...

So, as I’ve mentioned quite a few times here on the blog, I participated in a “Performance Nutrition Challenge” at our Crossfit gym box. Back in January, I and others, paid $60 to participate, and then spent two months training hard and eating clean. “Paleo” or a “caveman diet” is the most common description...

I had been out of shape, getting fatter and frustrated with myself for not doing anything about it. Initially, I found the workouts and the whole concept super-intimidating, but it didn’t last long, and...
I enjoyed a lovely low key birthday weekend. On Friday, my beloved planned out and prepared a delicious steak and shrimp birthday dinner and made homemade tiramisu cupcakes. Yum! I received a cupcake with two candles, because, according to the pastry chef, “that’s how many years less than 40 you are”. Adam thought it...
We had a great time celebrating Wendy’s 8th birthday over the weekend. She is such a delightful girl. It was fun to watch her open presents — she was thrilled with everything. Some of the highlights were hair things (sponge rollers!), Magic Treehouse books (a favorite) and her first Timex watch. We’ve done some...
We love gliders (aka run bikes aka balance bikes aka pedal-less bikes). Our older two kids have learned to ride by first learning to glide. Now that our three year old is a master glider, I’ve been itching to get him on a “big boy bike.” Apparently, a downside of gliders is that once...
