Posted by on Aug 18, 2011 in Events, In The Media, Testimonials | 6 comments As most of you may know from seeing me in the gym the last several months, word of mouth around the gym, and/or blog posts…I just competed in the finals of the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games.  I wanted to write this post to give you my perspective of the whole process and to take time to thank every one of you for your help along the way!

Posted by on Aug 15, 2011 in In The Gym, In The Media, News, Nutrition & Health, Paleo, Recipes, Testimonials | 0 comments A couple of weeks ago I was at Fragoso Chiropractic waiting for my appointment with Dr. John when he told me to check out the “Paleo Magazine” on his table.  He said that Sarah, his wife, was going to be in the next issue.  I had time to flip through a few pages before heading back for my treatment, but those few pages were enough to convince me to go home and subscribe to the...

I’ve always been way over competitive….

Posted by on Nov 5, 2009 in Testimonials | 0 comments I’ve lost inches and gained LOADS of confidence – to the point of others remarking on how outgoing I am. I do run off at the mouth, so I suppose people can take that for outgoing, though the reality is that I’m a nervous chatterer and tend to open-mouth-exit-thought with NO consideration to the filter that should have been installed at birth. Anyhow, here are some concrete things I have...
