Hiatus Sucks

I followed a band around the country when I was in college and a while back they took a couple of years off.  I remember seeing a shirt someone had on that said "Hiatus Sucks". Now obviously I have more readers than they do fans ;), so I can understand the weight of my own hiatus as well.  Thanks for fighting the urge to create your own custom WOD Almighty merchandise in response to my drop off the face of the planet for the last couple of months.  But there is an upside to the story I can assure you...

Progress Report

Starting Waist - 56 inches
Current Waist - 46 inches (net loss 10 inches)

No my absence from the blog does not mean I gave up my Crossfit/Paleo journey.  Work became hell for a while, and everything else just kind of spun out of control.  But through it all the least amount of days I dedicated to Crossfit was two, though most weeks saw me at the gym 4-5 days.  I come back to the blog with a fresh perspective and some changes in mind.

I'm going to try to put up more lifestyle-based material.  While I still want to document my WODs there are so many other things about the experience I want to share...food I'm eating, mobility work, equipment that's helped me maintain, supplements, etc.  There's so much that goes into being a healthy person and if just one of you reads this and gets inspired, informed, or changed in even a small way I think that's a lot more constructive than just making this about documenting my workouts.

It really just comes down to how much time I have to devote to the blog, amidst everything else.  Between marriage, parenthood, home ownership, work, Crossfit, and everything else in life it can be tough to sit down for even five minutes to crank out a quick post.  So I'm going to make the most out of my time with you, and not worry so much if you can't read about how hard it was to do 39 handstand pushups today :).

So on we go...let's get healthy together, and as always let me know you're out there.  We're certainly all out there, aren't we ;).

Peace.
