NO SUGAR CHALLENGE!!!!!!! Bikram Yoga

Howdy!

Earlier this month I embarked on a no sugar, no artifical sugar, added sugar challenge. For those of you who are not aware of my love and obession of sugar, I love it! I love Coke, Sweet Tea, ice cream, and Awesome Cup Cakes. Vanilla is my favorite. Since the beginning of Februray, I have sworn off these delicious goodnesses and have stuck to my guns and have refrained from consuming them. I am using Agave nectar to sweeten my coffee and Malt-O-Meal in the morning other than that, it is WATER and UnSweet Tea for me (only during meals). Coconut water is also a savior.

For my workouts, I have averaged 3 WOD's a week and have begun attending Bikram Yoga at least two times a week. For those of you who have not tried Bikram Yoga because you thought it wasnt for you or you had a preconceived notion that Yoga was for tree hugging hippies you are wrong. I thought the same until one of my clients convinced me to attend a class with him and since then I was hooked. On my first class, i felt that i had just finished 3 Fran's and was spent. As soon as I left the room (105 Deg F) I was hit with a lot of energy and I felt great. I went back next week and put together a string of 3 classses and felt amazing.

Supplementing Crossfit with Yoga has been awesome for me and I can tell that my breathing is better and I have seen an increase in lung capacity. Who would have thought that eating right and taking care of yourself could have so many benefits. So far, I have lost about 6 lbs and I am noticing that my pants are loosening up. Will give a month in update next week. Until then...

Stay Tuned for CRAWFISH WOD MEGAFEST IV DATE....

Force Factor Product Review Update!

Howdy!

Well it has been a while since my last post. Needless to say I abandoned the Force Factor Challenge after two weeks. I noticed that there was a significant amount of water retention and I did not care for the extra weight. So I quit it. Not worth the money. You will be better off eating right, and if you have to take a supplement, go with protein after your workout.

Force Factor Review Day 8..... Go Texans

Howdy!

It has been 8 days since I began the Force Factor Product Review. So far I have notice increased strength and endurance. I have not noticed any size increase but I have had to pee all day since I began the review. I will be back with an update in a couple of days....


Texans won with T.J. The stadium was deafening. At times I could not hear my self scream. This week the Texans will face Cinny at Cinny. The line right now is Cinny -3. I still believe that the Texans will roll and continue the streak. A win will clinch the AFC South.

Force Factor Day 1,,, Bueno or Mal (Good or Bad)... Product Review



Howdy!

Well this will be the first day that I try and review Force Factor. The supplement works by stimulating the natural production of Nitric Oxide in your body with the help of L-Arginine, an amino acid. On training days, take 2 to 4 pills, 30 minutes before lunch and 2 to 4 pills, 30 minutes before your workout. On off days take, 2 to 4 pills 30 minutes before breakfee and 2 to 4 pills before lunch.

Today is Day 1. Will get back to y'all with updates to let you know how it goes.
