Clean Eating takes a turn...Just Say No!

As some of you know I've been trying to eat clean for a few weeks now. Some days are better than others. But I'm still trucking along. I can say eating clean and doing Crossfit are two of the best changes that I could have ever made in my life.

My trainer Steve suggested I try "NO GRAINS and NO SUGARS" for the next two weeks, which is basically the Paleo diet that most Crossfitters follow. While I totally do not want to do this, and it is incredibly hard considering every single canned food has some kind of sugar in it (and I am the convenience cooking queen), I'm doing it. Again, some days are better than others, but so far I haven't wanted to jump over a bridge...

Also, I'm sending a shout out to Melissa Byers who I have been getting some great food advice from (check out her blog Byers Gets Diesel at http://byerscrossfit.blogspot.com/). She's helped me so much in the last few days alone, that I think I might can actually do this thing. And she's hilarious, so that totally helps. I'll keep you guys posted on how things are going.

Now to catch you up on the workouts. I haven't been able to go regularly every week, but I normally hit the gym at least 2 times for a Crossfit class:
