Right now I’m trying to focus mostly on strength to get some of what I lost back. So far so good in regards to how I feel. I can’t wait til the weight increases and I gain some mass back. I’m just doing metcons to be doing them, not pushing to hard or doing RX weight on most.

So true!!! Hope we get a president soon who will end the IRS, the FED, and income tax.

Ever wonder why you crave certain foods???

“Above all things food should not rule your life.  It is there to provide the energy and nutrients we need to live, it should be enjoyed but should not be your only enjoyment.”

Hilarious because it’s over the top and they made it so. Sad because I’ve personally witnessed some of these people. Great video from Crossfit Oahu.

An article from the Talk to me Johnnie blog about those who train to get better/improve skills and those who train for vanity.
