My Paleo/Crossfit Story

Tyler, the owner of Cornwall Crossfit (http://www.cornwallcrossfit.com/) asked me to write a little something about my Paleo / Crossfit experience.



He posted my story on his website. READ HERE. He wanted me to highlight what I have been doing since the New Year.

January Meal - Lemon Chicken Feta

I've been behind on #40 which was make a meal once a month (I'll make up for it soon!)

For the month of January, I made Lemon Chicken Feta for my friend Liz & I. She found the recipe in a Chatelaine magazine. It was a very easy recipe and we enjoyed it!








Below is the recipe :







Next time ,I will add black olives and sundried tomatoes!

Change of Plans?

Okay, I was just speaking to Cornwall Crossfit Owner - Tyler Touchette (http://www.cornwallcrossfit.com/) and I may have been a bit crazy with my #3 goal which is 100 pushups perfectly in a row... I know these goals shouldn't really change during the process - but it's my blog and my list so I'm going to tweak #3 a bit.

Instead of 100 pushups in a row - I'll change this to 100 pushups in total (not in a row) and I'll tack on a part b) to this and aim to be able to do 10 handstand pushups.

I'm not sure if this is better, but there it is :)

Another quote!

My boss sends us quotes every morning - and to be honest, I look forward to them.

Below is one of the quotes he sent a few weeks ago:

"Your life becomes the thing you have decided it shall be."
Raymond Charles Barker

Decide what you want for your life and take action!!

Thought it was fitting for my blog!

Thanks Joe!!

Winter Hike!

Sunday I went with a few friends and our dogs to Larose Forest for a Hike. The weather was beautiful! It was not too cold, with snow falling.

This would be the 2nd hike for me since starting the list(#20) - Three left to go and I can scratch it off!! Winter hikes are a much bigger workout. It ended up being about a 2 hour hike. Dogs were tired, and so were we! :)
Below is a photo of me and my dog Winchester, and my friend Jenn.

Love me some Maki Sushi!

Last night my friend Liz & I went out for my birthday dinner. We decided to go to a new Japanese restaurant.

I've never had Japanese and I thought it would be a good opportunity to cross off #70 off my list: Eating with chopsticks!


For the appetizer we sampled Maki sushi, Nigiri sushi , and Albacore. The main course was Tempura Morawasi. Thankfully, the pieces were bigger - it made it easier to eat with chopsticks!
Enjoyed Japanese food - can't wait to try something else next time! :)

Olympic Torch Relay

I had the amazing opportunity to watch the Olympic Torch as it passed through the City. It was nice to see the community out celebrating! There were some very talented people on the stage! Wish I was able to take better photos.
