Zumba or CrossFit????

To Zumba or To CrossFit...

I know many ladies out there who love to Zumba.

I have a hilarious friend who is a Zumba instructor in the Tulsa area. She travels all around the US going to Zumba get togethers and fundrasiers. It always looks like so much fun. Today she sent me the link to this video and I have been rolling on the floor laughing!!!!

Those of you who are CrossFitters will totally get it and then those of you who Zumba will also get it!

Enjoy...

Tracey I think it's time for a THROW DOWN!!!

Rescue me...

If ever there were a moment that my husband needed to rescue me by carrying me above his head I now know he could do it!

See for yourself!!

This is Garth lifting 135# overhead 30 times in the workout "Grace"

The picture was posted today on CrossFitJenks

Now, since he would only be rescuing me once and I weigh less than 135 I don't think he would be making this face. But knowing this I can sleep easier ;)

Mix it up...

Never would have put these ingredients together but it was yummy!!!

The girls loved it and so did I!!!

Monday...

Someone once told me that Monday is National Diet Day...

I thought really, I don't remember hearing that? And then they went on to say...

Yeah, EVERY Monday is National Diet Day...

The person was highlighting the fact that we all put things off until the perfect time.

Like to start something on a Monday will make you more successful??

I think not.

The point is to start... start at lunch today, start at dinner... start by not going for the extra snack after dinner tonight...

JUST START!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Here are a few resources and guidelines that we use and work for us. Maybe some sound extreme to you... ease into it... see how you feel.

Our guideline
Eat clean meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar and... and in our house little to no dairy
