BEYOND THE WHITEBOARD is up! Sorry it was ever down, guys- a little confusion on our account, but they assured me, that because we are one of the highest posting affiliates that we are extremely valued and impressed with our community!Keep it up. Thanks to Lil J and Winch for always making sure it is up to date and lookin goooood.

On a LIGHTER note- let's keep in mind how 10 lbs off the body feels. Just wear a 10lb. vest or hold a 10lb weight your entire warm-up next time. When it leaves you - you are a different person, performing a different WOD and getting different results. Make your 24 day challenge works by insisting 10lbs of loss. Drink more water, eat more fruit, do extra cardiovascular work like: 1000 jump rope skip, 2k rows and 200 meter sprints. Focus on the positive things in your life and find a good read to get into that keeps you from the tv and inspires you to be better. Give more compliments, wake up earlier, meditate or pray more.
This is your time to become better and everyone at CF RED supports you. Let's do this!

Today, we kicked off another 24 Day PaleoZone challenge. At least 12 people from CFR will be doing the challenge to gain clarity and discipline in the valleys of the holiday season. That means when most people have written off getting healthy until the new year, these folks will be following a strict cleanse and experiencing a metabolic shift while carving their path towards excellence with a PaleoZone Lifestyle. Last challenge we encouraged many as they broke even their own expectations. We will declare the winner of last months challenge after our final numbers are received in the next few days. Stay tuned!

Tips on most important rules for going Paleo- 
-Find your meats from these sources: wild game, vitamin cottage, fisher market, John the fish guy, old world meats, etc.
-Purchase only fresh vegetables and fruits, preferably organic- eat 3-4x the amount of meat you eat.
-Eat these 4 nuts/seeds raw or lightly roasted, no salt- pumpkin, sunflower, almonds, macadamia 
-Have readily available- Bowl of washed grapes, almond butter, figs, celery sticks, carrots, good filtered water.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Fat and plump just like you should be and
plenty of energy to put into the work force. Over this weekend we were subjected to many toasts and many opportunities to reflect why to be grateful this life we live. So even though things can be rough sometimes and things don't go your way, or you aren't meeting your own expectations- sometimes by a long shot, remember the cure for our egoistic self imposed depressions.
Find happiness in what you have, give to others what you want more of and keep in mind those that have absolutely nothing and still find happiness.

Things to keep on your HOT list for December-

Tomorrow Night( Monday the 29th) at 7:30pm- 24 day challenge Nutrition lecture. Lose 10 lbs before Xmas and feel great. You can even do it again Jan 1st if you want!
