Life as I know it

It's already the 18th of December.  I'm really not sure where the past two and a half weeks went.  I keep being told by the older generation "the older you get the quicker time goes by."  Crap.  That must mean I'm getting older.    

The Centerville Crossfit challenge has been going great.  It's only the second week, but I can see the motivation that everyone at the gym has.  It's been great!!  My shoulder has caused me some pain, but I've gotten pretty good at knowing when to stop.  I have also started shoulder strength exercises over the past few weeks, I really think these have helped.  This past Saturday we all had body measurements taken.  I was pretty excited to see that I had shrunk even more since my last measurements in November.  YIPPEE!!!  I was told last night that I need to eat more.  As someone who has been fat all my life, it is very hard to grasp the words "eat more".  I went home last night and hard boiled some eggs and bought some healthy guacamole.  (Side note, check your labels!  Not all guac is the same!)  This will hopefully help me get some more protein and fats in.  Life is all about progress.

Below is one of my favorite Paleo treats.  It is a Blueberry Muffin from Elana's Pantry.  My suggestions for if you make them:  Cut the eggs down to 4 or 5 so they aren't spongy, add a pinch of ground nutmeg and cinnamon, and don't use a mixer.  They are delicious.

Life at work has been pretty great too.  Generally the months of January and February are very extremely slow.   We did a large mailing that has drummed up new business for us.  Thank God for the recession.  And yes, I'm being serious.  Previously people were only buying name brand product which costs about 4x what we sell our items for.  See website here.  Once the recession hit, people have realized that they just need product that works.  It no longer needs to have the expensive names of Leviton or Panduit..... sorry boys, I just bashed your companies.  But really, your stuff comes from China just like ours!  Stop mugging the crap out of people.  Oh wait, no, keep doing it.  Because that leaves more business for me.
