Smorgasbord Sunday

So let me start off by apologizing for the weak post, I am swamped with work and leave for a Conference in Denver tomorrow. Yet, I do want to make a quick few points. First, with the clean eating some of us have been doing for the past couple of weeks and months for others, we now have a relatively clean box! Derek, John G, and Big Eric were at the box until 7p last evening cleaning our lovely hellhole (so you may want to thank 'em when you see 'em). While I felt like the dust and dirt was part of who we were at the WL and gave the box some character, I am anal-retentive at heart. Second, I wanted to touch on performance during metcons and strength exercises. Everyone has different goals with the paleo diet and their lifestyle, as Kelsey put it so grandiosely yesterday, but for me, one of the main reasons I went paleo was to increase my metcon performance. I was sick of my times being towards the lower end of all the classes I attended. Since I have gone paleo, my endurance has increased tremendously and although I am still one of the weaker gentlemen at the box in terms of weights I "throw around", I have seen large gains in all lifts. Obviously, the contribution my diet makes toward this progress cannot be separated from the contribution obtained from crossfitting 5 days/week, but it cannot go unnoticed that my gains began when I switched my eating habits in mid-July...just sayin'
