Skillets

My boot campers this morning referred to me as "domestic." LOLOLOL!!! If you know me, then you know this comment is hilarious and quite entertaining. However, there is a bit of truth in the adjective. I made a quick trip to Bed, Bath, & Beyond yesterday to buy a new skillet. I saute vegetables, cook meat, scramble eggs...in a skillet multiple times a day. Unfortunately, the skillet I was using had reached its max life capacity. I am pretty certain I was consuming Teflon on a daily basis. Ick. Anyways...

Bed, Bath, & Beyond is having a killer sale on their Calphalon skillets. I got a 10" and 12" skillet for $50. Typically a 12" Calphalon skillet is around $80 so two for $50 is quite the deal. When I went to cook my eggs and chicken sausage this morning I honestly felt like I was eating the best breakfast ever. I did not waste half of my breakfast due to it sticking all to the pan. I know I may sound a bit over the top, but if you do not have a good skillet to cook in then go invest in one now. The best way to reach your fitness goals is with proper nutrition. What better way to do it then by cooking your own meals. Buy yourself an early Christmas and be "domestic."

Success

Mary and Julie are in the 8:30AM MWF Lake Pointe boot camp. They successfully completed the San Antonio Rock & Roll marathon and 1/2 marathon. Way to go, showouts!!!

SUCCESS

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

How do you define success?

ShowFam workout

My family and I took on a post-Thanksgiving WOD. We decided on the Lumberjack 20 in honor of the fallen soldiers from Ft. Hood. We are all at different fitness levels and the workout was scaled to everyone's ability. My mom used a kettlebell instead of a barbell for deadlifts; row instead of run; performed air squats instead of over head squats; and the cut the rep scheme in half. CrossFit is literally scalable to all fitness levels.

On each 400m run I was thinking over and over in my head how lucky I am to have a family that is healthy, fit, and loves to be together. I am blessed!
