I would like to do a Paleo Potluck lunch. Please bring a Paleo dish of your choice. Meat, veggies, fruit, nuts. Get creative! Have some fun cooking!

At the conclusion of Mike's talk I will be passing out and explaining the guidelines for our 30 day Paleo Challenge beginning on Monday, April 4th.

Also, it would be fun to do a WOD after the talk as well.

Here are a few pictures of the past week!

Choices

1. Sunday, April 3rd Dr. Mike Molloy will be giving an excellent presentation on how to become a better human, athlete and mom based on Paleolithic Nutrition. Come ready to learn and ask lots of questions.  This seminar is from 9-3pm and costs 40$. This is a very valuable resource. Please do not miss this!

2. Think about the choices you make in all aspects of your life. Are you happy with what is going on? Are you getting results, making progress, becoming better? If you are, hell yeah! Keep it up! If not, what can you do better? Sleep more, eat better, work harder. Turn that TV off 10 minutes earlier every night. Do one more rep before putting the bar down, every time.

The weather and the WODs have been heating up...Proof below!

Community

Hey everyone, it's been a busy busy week!

1. I made a Facebook group for The Fort. Most of you are probably members, but if not, friend me or search "Fort Gym." It is a place where anyone can post thoughts, comments, recipes and discuss how sore we all are.

2. Nutrition and Lifestyle Seminar by Dr. Mike Molloy is Sunday April 3rd! You will learn how to be a better athlete, feel better and look better in a bathing suit. Sign up NOW!

3. I have been traveling to CrossFit New England quite a bit lately to learn and WOD with some absolute monsters.  "Game Day 5" was an absolute burner. Felt like Fran but with rowing.  Woof!

CFNE held a one hour talk about Mobility and the importance of proper movement.  Realize that the area that suffers is the area that you steal movement from.  For example, you are sitting at your computer right now reading this and your butt and hamstrings and hip flexors are getting jammed up from sitting. Your upper back is probably rounded forward. So, your poor lower back takes the blame for tight shoulders and mashed hamstrings. Rough deal.

So on that note...here is Anthony and Jen doing some foam rolling and trying not to cry! Nice work guys! They both have been working their asses off, and it really shows!

4. Paleo 80% of the time and hard work in The Fort goes a long way. Pounds lost, more weight moved, going shopping for clothes that fit, the ability to do push-ups are all goals we're working on.  Realize that we are a FAMILY all pursuing similar goals relentlessly. Act like it! Cheer on your teammates and celebrate their successes and failures, because both will happen. Guar-an-teed!

Evolution

The Fort is evolving.

We're all growing up a little bit. Becoming stronger, better, healthier and faster. But, we always need to be craving more...

Why am I writing this? Because on Sunday, April 3rd, Dr. Mike Molloy is coming to The Fort to give us all a boat load of knowledge about how to be EVEN better, faster, stronger and healthier.

Mike knows his stuff....he is a great dude and an accomplished CrossFitter.

So, sign up ASAP! More details to come. I am thinking a Paleo Potluck for lunch that day.

Later, kids!

Effort

It's been a great week so far! The effort in The Fort is badass, but what really matters is the work and discpline the other 23 hours a day.  Everyone is doing great and I can definitely see improvements.

The young Jedis have been improving each time they WOD. Can't wait for the season to start! This is after "Final Countdown."

Lisa brought a "sick letter" from her doctor telling me she couldn't participate in certain, FUN activities...

And PLEASE check out KStar's blog! If you have any issues(hip, knee, shoulder, etc etc.) get after them!
