I have heard that some of you want to do this again. So, we will give you all a bit of a break, that doesn't mean gain it all back, keep up the good eating and working out, but we might do a late spring one just to prepare the bodies for swimming suits.

And if you know of anyone who wants to get in on the 50$ a month plan they need to join in the month of February.
And now a cencus to the long asked question...Why did the chicken cross the road???

Sarah Palin..The chicken crossed the road because, gosh darn it, he's a maverick!

Barack Obama..The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change.

John McCain..My friends the chicken crossed the road because he recognized the need to engage in the cooperation and dialogue with all the other chickens on the other side of the road.

Hillary Clinton..When I was first lady I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to ensure right from day one that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road...but this isn't about me now is it.

President George W Bush..We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either for us or against us, there is no middle ground.

Dick Chaney..where's my gun?

Colin Powell..Now to the left of the screen of the satelite image you can clearly see the image of the chicken crossing the road.

Bill Clinton..I did not cross the road with the chicken.

Al Gore..I invented the chicken.

John Kerry..Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it.It was wrong to cross and I was misled about the chickens intentions. I am not for it now and i will remain against it.

Al Sharpton..Why are all the chickens white, there should be some black chickens.

Dr. Phil..The problem we have with this chicken is that we need it to realize that it needs to deal with the problem it has on his own side of the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the road.

Oprah..I understand that the chicken is having problems which is why he wants to cross the road so bad. So instead of letting the chicken learn from his mistakes and take some falls, which is the way of life, I am going to buy him A NEW CAR so that he may drive across the road and not live his life like any of the other chickens.

Anderson Cooper, CNN..We have reason to believe there has been a sighting of a chicken but we have not gained access to the other side of the road.

Nancy Grace..The chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

Pat Buchanan..to steal jobs from decent hard working Americans

Dr. Suess..Did the chicken cross the road, did he cross it with a toad? Yes he crossed the road, but why he crossed I have not been told.

Ernest Hemingway..To die..alone..in the rain

Albert Einstein..Did the chicken cross the road or did the road move beneith the chicken

Colonel Sanders..Did I miss one

V Day WOD


If your thinking we are gonna post the WOD forget about it. That's part of the fun.
As you can see by the above photo it's a dressing up occassion so wear your finest V Day getup.
We plan on starting the WOD at 1 PM sharp so get in early enough to get your measurements done. Also weve had a few setbacks with a couple of teams (I.E injuries, baptisms etc.) so we have openings if you have somenone in mind that wants to fill a spot.

And for those of you who are losing sleep over the WOD, relax. It's always a fun time and there is nothing that can't be accomplished by all participants.

We are so excited to see how far you have all come in just the last 6 weeks. As you all know we did a short contest because we wanted everyone to see what a change in nutrition with the Crossfit method can do for you in a very short time. And to be honest, with the exception of a "Goldfish" cracker attack the change in our nutrition has been overwhelmingly positive. I haven't felt this "clean" in well... ever. It's going to be interesting to hear what did and did not work for you but hopefully you all learned a little something that you can now carry with you forever. See you at the WOD
