Cloud 9

For those of you who don't know me, I am someone who is on the computer quite often. I am often  emailing/texting/pinning from my blackberry. I also tend to slouch a little more than I'd like to.

For this reason, at times, my neck, my right arm and shoulders tend to tense up. 

I normally get an ion cleanse  (I'll explain further in another post what this is) from Ted Casselman, who is a holistic health practitioner and owner of True Nature Health, http://www.truenaturehealth.com/ . I asked him if he could give me a deep tissue massage focusing on those three target areas that I was having problems with.  I was astounded at how much better my neck and arms were feeling.

Getting at least 10 massages per year is #58 on my list. Ted's massage would be my 3rd massage so far.  I'm definitely going to make massages a normal routine - perhaps even on a monthly basis. After only a 30 minute massage by Ted, I was on cloud 9 for the rest of the day! :) Thanks Ted !! Next time - 60 minutes!

Hello Valpolicella - Welcome Tradition!

One of my good friends won a bottle of Valpolicella at an event, so we decided to drink it together on Friday, April 2nd. We always have a good time when we are together, but this particular Friday was special. So special, that I thought it would be perfect to start a tradition!

Starting a yearly tradition is #52 on my list! I have decided (and my friend is in agreement) every year on Good Friday we will get together at her place and drink some Valpolicella!

Below was the Valpolicella we drank:

Not blaming Valpolicella, but Good Friday, has now become Fuzzy Friday! Just sayin'.... ! :)

Crossfit WOD's

I was noticing that the first 6 items on my 101 list are directly related to being "cross fit". That being said - I will continue to update my blog with my crossfit workouts. This will allow me to keep track of my personal records and monitor any improvements or challenges that I may be experiencing (most likely due to nutrition)

I typically try to go to crossfit at least 4x per week. My last workout was on Wednesday. This was the WOD (workout of the day):

• 5-5-5-3-3-3 Deadlift

Cashout (an optional workout after regular workout)

3 rounds for time:

5 burbees
10 hollow rocks
15 box jumps

I have been 100% Paleo and experienced a personal record for Deadlift at 115lbs. My time for the cashout was 5:10. Even though I used the medium box - the cashout killed me!
