From the road...

Que pasa Home skillets?!

Right now the qt and I are at starbucks in Knoxville, TN filling up before we head out to our final destination (9hrs away) New Orleans. Weather is pretty fair. Open country skies, small cool breeze and everything is super green out here. Some of it is "cuntray" some of it is pretty modern. We are in a strip mall that smashes most of our malls, pretty dope. 

We are making a snap load of videos called 'Updates'. They are crazy fun. Im kind of leaving it up to them to tell the whole story. Ive realized that too much caffine and excitement makes me cuss like a sailor so Im going to make an effort to tone it down in the next few videos. If you know me you know I love the use of dirty, real, gritty language and nothing is off limits. Please bare with me during my transformation of reformation. 

We pulled into a small stop outside Knoxville last night around 128am. I had been up since 530am the previous morning as well as going through the games 5 wod. We ended up eating dinner around 1030 at a Waffle House. No I didnt get waffles :( We kept it pretty paleo and I massive dosed fish oil when I was done. Im going to try and do a Easter Post that should save a bunch of you a few pounds. Please tell others about this post. They dont have to read the other bs I post about but this post should be important. 

Right now Im going to try and pull a 20-24hr fast so I really dont have to worry too much about whats for dinner. Not a lot of good late night options on the road. We did pack some goodies (larabars, coconut bars, cucumber) but forgot protein (Heather did, even after I reminded her). Il try and let the vids explain the rest of the trip.   

Enjoy!


On the road again.....

slowest.....drivers......ever.......

INTERCOURSE!!!! yes the town name is Intercourse, of course.

I dont see that too often anymore....sun...

Road friends. One tried to get in the car. I was making a ton of inappropriate jokes with a word that sounds like 'wussy' but Il spare you all, or y'all.

Recover

I decided to do a little experiment and it was certainly interesting. I recommend this to everyone and anyone. Please do as I ask in the video and submit your own videos of such an experiment.

WARNING!!!!: I am partially naked in these videos. There was no way around it really. If you find yourself getting turned on or using this as porn ask yourself "why?!" I dont know what is appealing by this but if it stimulates you please just explain yourself to me. Thanks!

WARNING!!!!: Graphic language is also used. I couldnt help it after a point. Please do not watch or listen to these videos in public. That would just be weird. Also I recommend you try and talk as much as you can during the experiment because you will just sounds really drunk. Its hysterical. I dont remember saying half of the things I did.

Right now H N I are grabbing some bfast before we head out on the road. Wish us safe travels. It should be very interesting. We will of course keep you as updated as possible.

Take care and enjoy!

Friends over for Dinner!

We named him Henry.
You can watch Heather screw things up in the first video. The second is of us actin' a fools...Why? Because we literally raped and pillaged the super market and got away with some great deals. Like our dinner guest for like $12 bucks!! Bad ass if you ask me. Also the band in the video playing is one of my favorites and if youve been in my classes you have for sure heard their old band. Their new band is Bars Of Gold and H and I are SO FREGGING excited because we are actually gona see them live next week. Enjoy the goofyness that is us in awe and jealousy.

Me post wod 2. Im trying to score points but everything works better in my head.
Oh yeah! She knows how to change her own oil. Most women dont even know how to change a tire. H! Changed her jacked her own car - changed her own oil - in the rain - at night. You aint got nothing....Now if I can only get her to cook something......

I helped. I held the light.
Friends over for Dinner.
It was like a de-feathered - bald - cold - naked baby.

Son of bitch is done and ready to eat!!

We called him Henry. Henry was delicious. Best dinner guest you could have over. He brought food, cooked it, and didnt talk.





Updates!!!

Hey Y'all!!
So finally here is an update from me. I decided to make a video that you can watch whenevers. Its kind of long, I didnt really think I would talk that long but I think its good stuff.

Warning: The mic is a lot better than I thought - so dont turn your volume up to loud because you will hear my heart beat.

Warning: I get kind of naked.

Overall its a pretty good update and conversation. Please feel free to watch half of it and then come back, watch it when you eat dinner and its like Im there with you. Its definitely a ramble.
Enjoy!!

New Jobs??

So its been a while and the amount of concern you all showed about if Im ok was astounding. Please call off the search party. (If you dont know me by now then you wont figure out that the past 2 sentences were extremely sarcastic).

Anywho: Im in the process of trying to get 2 new jobs on top of my coaching position. It looks like no matter where I live I have to work at multiple jobs. Right now I am applying for a job at GNC supplement store. I actually have to reinterview Tuesday so hopefully that goes well and I can start there the next day. Why? Because everyone out here failed to tell me that I dont get paid for the coaching job until THE END OF THE SEASON...........................................................................................................
As most of you dont know, Ive been broke, completely broke about 2 weeks after I moved out here. There are several reasons of why which I wont go into because its rather complex. So basically I need to find other work because everything is actually down to survival now.

The other place I am trying to get my feet into is a wonderful gym called Crops Fitness (http://www.corpsfitness.net/). This is a very large gym (which will help me get used to a layout similar to Simi's new home which I am very excited to get back to) with an awesome group of instructors and amazing community of clients. I dont know what it is about me but I like me some military men. Andy Ret. Navy Seal and the owner of CF Chris is a former Marine.

Sunday I taught my 1st class at Corps Fitness which went awesome. How awesome? 12mins into the warm up one of the member told me "to go to hell." I knew I hadnt lost my touch. These people walk in the door and dont stop moving until they get back into their cars. They are used to running on all cylindars for an hour+. Its crazy to watch and Im getting a lot of new ideas ;) So I had to keep the wod for the day somewhat similar to the pace they are used to. But because I give movements I had to stop them so I could coach and they were like sponges.  Here was the break down for the class:
Warm up:
400m Run
15x Shoulder roll - OHS - GM - MK
3x10 pull ups - push ups - T2B - Squat - Oly crawl
 
Tabata: 20sec Flutter kick - 10sec push up
 
Deadlift: 5-5-5-3-3-3
 
Wod:
15x #d Squats
10x Box Jump
5x GI Janes 
200m Run
5 Rounds
 
1st girl in Pink shirt, knocked this out in just over 15min. She is a definite go get-er. Super bad ass performances. I gave them free range on picking their own weights for the squats and BJ height. They went ligther on the squat weight and higher on the boxes that I would have wanted or perscribed but it worked out for a different kind of ass-kicking.
Here are some pics from the day:

In the news!!

What up my dirty little rascals!!
Oh how Im starting to miss all of you....some of you.......just a handful......ok mainly the peopel that just owe me money. Im kidding!! I kid. I love you all and miss you. No one is updating me. No texts, no calls, its just me and the cold and the silence of the falling snow outside. Yes!! Its snowing!
FFFFFFFFFFFFF*&(*&*&&^*&^**&)(*&(@&#(*@#@$&(*&@#*!*(@&!(*@&!$(@*#KKKKK!!!!!

I honestly dont think Im ever really warm. And for you all complaining about the heat and texting me with the temperature out there: Knock that shit off. Its not funny or cute.

Whats new?? Ok here we go (This is gona be a big post. Maybe read a little - go for a walk - have a cup of coffee - read a little more - smoke a cigarette - its kind of like sex, take your time with it enjoy it. For some of you it may be too much of me to handle on in one sitting is all Im saying.

Work: Its going. Everyday its beyond cold. I havent worn just a T shirt 1 freaking time. All the other kids are running around, me? I trying to turn my back against the wind and rain and go to a warm place in my head. I think I have said before NONE of my clothes are PA proof, this is bullshit. Kids are doing well though. Im starting to get down more and more what I am actually coaching. Ive never done these movements before. I was actually kind of lied to when I got out here so I am adapting. I have taught 4 girls how to pole vault (I have attempted it a handful of times, Im not bad but I aint good, I would just need to practice at it). We had our first meet recently and we won every event except 1 so not bad but some have the kids on the team have some serious skills and they stand out. I like these kids more because of their abilities and somewhat less because they rely on their abilities to get them by rather than listening to me and taking my advice and excelling further. I have caught wind that I am quite the talk in the womens locker room. I had to only listen to part of what the informant was telling me. When she said "oh yeah, that girl would totally get with you" I had to draw a line sand. Some days I just walk around yelling "No TOuching!!" and making sure my words or actions are not miscontruded and twisted. I cant be in a room alone with students, no touching, language, jokes, etc. I swear some days, depending on how hyper the kids are being, I do more PR work for myself than coaching. So of the kids get on my nerves but its highschool and I remember very much what it was like to be in almost all of their shoes. I cant get mad at them just try and steer them a better way. The town I work in is super small so therefore is the mindset and mentality of some of the town folk. I recently got myself in a lot of trouble by giving a nutrition lecture. Basically what happened was some kids misheard - didnt understand - or twisted what I said and then told other coaches and their parents. Their parents have contacted the school asking why I would recommend "no fruits, strict Atkins and no grains" to their kids. I wanted to respond "because your kid is fat" but I dont know who was the kid or parent so I had to explain in detail what is Paleo. Ive tried arguing science and even "look at me. Look at them. Who would you want to look or perform like." With little budging. The kids are ok with what Im saying, the adults are not. I feel like Kevin Bacon in Footloose. You know me I like causing a ruckus ;)

Play:
Recently (Officially last Wed 3/23) and then this past Sunday (3/27) Heather and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. This was a big deal for both of us so we partied it up folks. Let the reigns go, kicked our shoes off, let our guard down basically everything short of stripping down to birthday suits and running through the zoo setting the animals free. Below are some pics of that and us with some of the little kids at this place called "The Please Tough Museum." Which is a cool place until you realize that it really is: the adult world made small and fun with no real rules. If you can imagine going through the regular day but with the mentality of a child. It was fantastic people watching: watching parents with children, children with children, the occasional pedo running around. I could write a book. The best thing is something I call "mommy boobies." What are mommy boobies?! Well Im glad you asked, its basically a young mother with still inflated breasts in a very inappropriate low cut top...basically hang out. Tons of nipple slips. I was not turned on in the least, more over just shocked and I could not for the life of me stop singing "My milk shake brings all the boys to the yard and their like its better than yours!" So there is some pics of that.
Enjoy the slide show!

I actually dont know these kids...Kidding. I love ducks!!


They were captivated by my vast knowledge of operating machines.
I never did understand this book.....
Fingers are food too.
These are the snack choices they had for everyone. Pizza, soup, hot dogs, pasta....wow....






























 
See mom!! He's not just in my head!! Tea time with the March Hare (In March!!) and the Mad Hatter. This was my favorite part because if you know me you know I am a Huge Alice In Wonderland fan and they had a whole section dedicated to it.


They did have gluten free options. These werent half bad for you.

Drink options: 1) Sugar juice 2) Soda 3) Diabetes (3 actually comes with both 1 and 2 :)


Beginning of Operation Anniversary. We stopped and fueled up for game time with some Fraps from SB.

Doesnt look the best but holy snaps is it tasty. It Cajun and damn good. Its called a P'oh Boy Special.


Oh yes. Could you have just one?


The other section. Its amazing. I love coming here. All kinds of samples and no nutritional info - none needed.


Dinner. We love an Absinthe bar called TIME. A-mazing bar bugers, fantastic salad, usually live music and super super chill. I wish they had one in LA. So much fun to hang out and eat there. By far one of my favorite places.
