Olympic Weightlifting Seminar – How many people would definitely be interested in doing a one day workshop at the gym?It would be on a Sunday, probably sometime in November. The cost would be around $180 per person. Wilkes Weightlifting would be hosting the seminar. We need a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 24, so space is limited. Please post your thoughts to the comments section.

ok how about some new mural ideas….here we go:
picture this…a lightning bolt flashes, and on top of a mountain we find Tim as half man half horse, luscious mane of chest hair above a 12 pack holding Leroy Brown effortlessly overhead…Erin is riding atop of Tim cloaked in an all white flowing gown and Pat the satyr, their half man half goat loyal companion stands at their side looking equally ripped holding a jug a fresh gluten free wine made from berries foraged on their travels and crushed with his bare hands.
…just a thought
THIS IS RIDICULOUS! HAHAHAHAHHA
Hahaha whoahhhhhhhhhhhh
Awesome.
Pure genius!

Clarifications for Nutrition Challenge –
1.) The most amount of points you can have in one day is +1 and that is for eating 100% within the guidelines of the challenge
2.) Anytime your food choice/beverage choice falls outside of the guidelines you receive a -1. Therefore if you eat three meals in a day and they all do not qualify as clean meals, you will receive -3 points for that day. You are allowed a total of 12 cheats. If you have 2 cleans meals and 1 cheat meal you still receive a -1 for the day. So your daily range is -12 to +1. Don’t cheat 12 times in a day. The challenge is 43 days long ending on Wednesday, Nov 23. Therefore to be eligible to win you must have at a minimum + 31 points. (43 – 12 = 31)
3.) Balsamic Vinegar is acceptable
4.) Flavored coffee is fine as long as it is the bean that is flavored and not some added sugar crap
5.) Nuts should be consumed in the raw form. I am not overly concerned if they are salted, unless you are eating a bag a day in which case you can expect to gain some weight.
6.) Butter and Heavy Cream (not half & half) are allowed through the duration of the challenge.
Tim, what is the deal with protein shakes?
+1
Not sure what we are bringing yet but it will be some food item and alcohol. Possibly meatballs.
The only reason I’m not doing the nutritional challenge because I already eat that way (sans dairy, though). 🙂
I will definitely bring something paleo to the partay.

Nice work this weekend!
+1 for yesterday
love the pics 🙂
What about dried fruit? Cranberries in particular? They taste too good to be allowed. My “snack” of pumpkin seeds is just not doing it for me…
Victoria–where do you get coconut chips? I searched whole foods!
I got them originally at a health food store in Pa that I go to sometimes, but then I actually bought a whole case on Amazon! I just looked and you can get just a bag too. This is the product I’m talking about: http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Do-Organic-Coconut-Flakes/dp/B005AYLI5C/ref=sr_1_9?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1318379054&sr=1-9
I wouldn’t be surprised if you could find them in a normal supermarket too- in the health foods area… (Sorry, they’re ‘flakes’ not chips, but they’re good!)
Unfortunately, most dried fruit is also “treated” with sugar. 🙁 Whole Foods *does* carry the Just [insert fruit name here] brand, but those containers aren’t cheap…the dried cranberries can be $8…
In any event, you can get coconut chips and flakes here:

Did someone mention a goat? Rad.

Awesome pix guys! Maureen – I searched for the coconut chips too – finally found them in my veggie market in the bulk section. So many that I found had added sugar. Good luck to all with the challenge :0)
Victoria/Kristen– Thanks!
Torrey- I saw those “Just Fruit” things and yes, too expensive. However, I saw two types of dried cranberries–ones that had sugar in the ingredients and one that was “apple juice infused”. Is there a significant difference?
Yeah, I’m sorry to say that, whether it’s “lightly sugar-sweetened” or “apple juice infused,” it’s still a crap-ton of sugar. 🙁
(Seriously, I just looked up the nutritional values for the Eden Foods brand that are “apple juice infused,” and they’ve got 26 grams of sugar per serving! Wowzers. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, kiddo!)
