Paleo Breakfast… super boring.

Maybe these muffin omelettes will make things a bit more exciting…

1/4 Murph

admin — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:54:11 +0000

Murph is one of my favourite WODs.

As I start the march towards being in shape, I thought it best to start slowly. So twice a week I’m working out. 1/4 Murph one day and a lift the other day.

I just finished up 1/4 Murph. No time, the only goal was to be alive at the end. Mission accomplished.

crossfitquantum.com is alive.

We flipped the switch on the site yesterday.

Another WOD to try as I claw my way back.

Five rounds for time of:
95 pound Snatch, 3 reps
95 pound Overhead squat, 15 reps
Run 400 meters

I’ve done 3 x (400m run, 15 95# OHS) and it sucked.

Super fast dessert

No, it’s not 100% Paleo, I understand that.

I’m currently testing myself for a dairy sensitivity (aka, no dairy for 2 weeks, have some, measure impact) so I can’t have any chocolate.

I’m also fairly lazy when it comes to cooking, and this “recipe” reflects that.

Grab a handful of almods/cashews/nut, drizzle with honey, toss a bunch of cinnamon on top, mix, stuff in face.

It’s a cheat that’s not a “burn down the house” cheat.

A full bumper plate set is in my future.

It is imminent.

Place your ear to the ground and listen for the thunder.

Paleo Granola

admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 22:40:15 +0000

From CrossFit Invictus

5 cups nuts and seeds (I used slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, pecans, and sunflower seeds; you can use whatever you want, but make sure you use at least 2 – 3 cups slivered almonds, as these take the place of what is normally oats)
1/3 cup honey (or maple syrup or any other Paleo-approved sweetener)
1/3 cup Paleo-friendly oil (I used coconut and highly recommend it)
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 cup raisins
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

Mix honey, oil, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small saucepan and bring to a boil on the stove. Let it cool. Spread the nuts and seeds out on a greased baking sheet and pour the cooled honey mixture over the top. Mix it around to get everything covered, and bake for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. Allow the pan to cool slightly and then put the mixture into a bowl. Mix in raisins and coconut, and enjoy!

Your biggest key to success with this (and really any) recipe is to go a little crazy. Add your own twist to it or branch off in another crazy direction. The granola you see in the picture, for example, was mixed with almond butter, pressed into a brownie pan, and is now chilling in the freezer to make granola bars.
