CrockPot Pulled Pork

This has become a staple in our household! I have to say, I love anything that involves a crockpot! It really just makes life that much easier! 

This pork is amazing, so much so that I add it to eggs, salad, sweet potato hash or just have it on its own. Its extremely yummy, versatile and so easy.

I first tried this pork at a potluck all the CF7M ladies had when we were doing an eating challenge. I have to say, I probably had about 3 servings of this pork - it was that good! The girl who brought it, Lizzie, assured me it was simple, so I decided to give it a go and never looked back! Thanks Lizzie! =)

Below is the recipe adapted from www.startsattheplate.com. I only changed a few ingredients mostly to match what I already have in my cabinet.

Ingredients (note I usually double the recipe)
  • 4 lb bone in pork shoulder
  • 4 tbsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp ground garlic powder
  • 2 tsp cayenne pepper


  1. Mix all the spices together in a small bowl to create a rub for the pork.
  2. Take the rub and massage it into the pork making sure you get it in all the little crevices.
  3. Put pork in a large plastic bag along with any remains of the rub that did not stick. Alternatively, you can also tightly wrap the pork in plastic wrap.
  4. Put the pork in the fridge and let it sit overnight to ensure all the spices have flavored the meat.
  5. Put the pork in the CrockPot with ¼ chicken stock and cook on low for about 8-10 hours.
  6. Take the pork out of the CrockPot and onto a cutting board or large bowl.
  7. Tear the meat apart using your fingers or 2 forks (I find the forks do the job pretty well).
  8. Enjoy some pulled pork!
There is also a great BBQ sauce to go along with the pork (and other BBQed items), but I will leave that for next week. No need to worry though - this pork can be enjoyed on its own!

Getting Better Means Making Sacrifices


Now, I’m sure you’ve heard this before. I know I’ve heard my coach say many a time that if we want to get better we need to eat more, mobilize more, practice our weaknesses and drink less. Those are the obvious sacrifices for any athlete.

I’m speaking specifically to women about this one – getting better at CrossFit means sacrificing our (and society’s) body ideals. Now what do I mean by this? I will explain with a story…

About 6 weeks ago I started a strength and conditioning program from Catalyst Athletics. At the same time I started an eating (I don’t like the work “diet”) program from Eat to Perform. Long story short, I was eating more and lifting more with the end goal of getting stronger.

So, I ate a lot of protein (150g/days) and added in more starchy carbs. In the beginning I felt a little bloated – like I was drinking a case of a beer each night, but I knew I had to see this thing through. After a few weeks the bloat went away and I was slowly but surely feeling stronger.

A couple days before my testing day I decided to try on this fabulous dress I bought a few months ago for a friend’s wedding coming up the next weekend. I absolutely fell in love with the dress – it was more than I wanted to spend, but it just looked amazing and was posh enough for this NYC wedding. Well, the dress didn’t fit…I was too nervous to even try to sit down in it, there was no way I was busting any moves on the dance floor and I would even need someone to go to the bathroom with me! This obviously was not going to work!

At this point I was devastated. I’m a girl, I loved this dress, and now it doesn’t fit. 

The next day I went into the gym and told my male coach my extremely girly problem…at the end of the conversation I said, “I better PR on my lifts!” Obviously, not really into my tremendously girly problem, he kept it short and said, “you will…”

It came to testing day and needless to say, I was ringing the PR bell like no one’s business! Below are my before and after numbers:

  • Snatch: 105 - 125lbs
  • Clean & Jerk: 125 - 140lbs
  • Back Squat: 180 - 200lbs
I was beyond excited! 125 was always my “dream” goal for my snatch and after I stood up with that barbell, did a dance, and dished out some hugs – with a smile on my face I said, “that was totally worth my dress not fitting!”

We all make sacrifices. I had to sacrifice how I viewed my body in order to get stronger. My legs, butt, and arms are all bigger…infact, I think I only have one pair of jeans that actually fit now! But, I’m fine with that. I will take bigger thighs and ass if that means my lifts go up and my times go down.

You have to decide if you are willing to make the sacrifice.

I leave you with this quote: “Sacrifice is giving up something good for something better.” - Unknown


**below are videos of my snatch and clean & jerk PRs...not the prettiest jerk - something I know I need to work on, but I'll take it!

The "I Miss Cali Guac" Recipe

I am a total California girl - you can probably hear the accent! I love the beach, warm weather and above all - avocados! In California I would put avocados on everything!

In that respect, living in Cayman has been tough (oxymoron!?!?). I love living here, but the avocados are certainly not plentiful and they are expensive! But when I see a decent deal, or I'm really craving it, I buy as many good looking avocados as I can.

One of my favorite things to do with avocados is make guacamole! Below is a simple recipe for my favorite guac.

Ingredients:

·       3 Ripe Avocados           
·       ½ lime – juiced
·       1 clove garlic minced
·       ½ teaspoon salt
·       ½ teaspoon pepper
·       ½ teaspoon cayenne
·       ½ jalapeno pepper (if you like your guac with some heat!) – seeded and miced
·       2 Roma tomatoes – diced
·       ½ medium onion (I prefer purple, but any onion will work)

1.            Mash avocado in a large bowl. Add lime juice, garlic, spices and jalapeno. Fold in tomatoes and onion. Mix well.

2.            Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving so all the flavors can come together.

3.            Serve with homemade sweet potato chips (recipe to come), Terra sweet potato chips (pictured and WLC approved), plantain chips (recipe to come), veggies, or just eat it with a spoon – its that good! Enjoy!

**If you are a fan of bacon (who isn't) - add a couple strips of chopped bacon to the guac...you won't be sorry!

They Just Gave Me the "Up-Down"

You all know it! Maybe it has happened to you or maybe you are the culprit! I know I am! It is a real technical term for when you see someone and one of the first things you do is look them up and down from head to toe.

Whatever your reasons are: checking out a girl a the club, admiring some one's body on the beach, wondering why a person put that outfit together...and the list goes on; it all equates to some version of judging.

 This action was something I encountered many times when I was in Ecuador for the CrossFit Latin American Regionals earlier this month.

I came in contact with a number of people in the airport, hotel, restaurants and they all inquired as to what I was doing in Ecuador. *sidenote: probably everyone asked me this questions, but I could only answer those that spoke English. When I replied that I was on a team competing at Regionals probably 9 out of 10 times I got the "up-down" Now, I know I don't look like Annie Thorisdottir or Camille Leblanc, but I am reasonably fit! At first I took a slight bit of offense to this, but then again, I don't know their reasoning for the look. I worked hard to get to Regionals and whether I look like a poster child for CrossFit or not doesn't matter.

The best look and comment I received during my time in Ecuador was from a woman who didn't speak any English. I was speaking with her daughter and they (like everyone else) asked why I was in the country. After I gave my response the woman smiled, looked at my thighs, pointed, and made a gesture to represent "big." She and I both laughed and I agreed "Yes, I do have large legs!" Probably one of the best compliments I received during my time in Ecuador.

Overall, it doesn't matter if you are be judged. You never know what the other person is thinking. Anyways, the majority of the time people give the "up, down" has to do with jealousy. They either wish they were more like you, or wish they could be with some one like you. I know the majority of people I give the look to tend to be fit CrossFit chicks (and a couple guys on the beach too...but don't tell my husband, I'm just admiring)!

So the next time you receive the up-down or a judging look, take it as a compliment, smile and look the person in the eye and say "thank you"!

Gaining Weight and the Tight Pants Dance

You know when you have to do a couple air squats to get those tight pants on? Ladies (and hipster boys) - you know what I'm talking about! Well slowly but surely I needed to add a few extra air squats to my morning regimen.

Thats right...I have gotten bigger, even put on a few pounds. But for the first time in my life, I'm okay with it!

If this happened anytime from age 14 to even just a year ago, I would probably be upset, beating myself up and stepping on the scale everyday just to see if I lost a couple pounds.

So what changed? Simply put, I started looking at food differently. I now eat in order to fuel myself for my daily life and workouts. Since I started this mental shift I have seen some extreme gains, especially in the past couple months!

CrossFit forced me to look at food differently. I no longer look at a meal and think, "Man, this is going to make me feel fat and put on at least a couple pounds!" I look at my meals and think "this is going to help me in my workout today, tomorrow and a month from now."


This isn't to say that you can just eat whatever you want in order to "bulk up." The quality and types of food you choose are still extremely important. When you take an approach of eating as fuel, you will then choose foods that help your performance.

I recently used a calculator on eattoperform.com (great website!). In the end it told me I should be eating close to 2500 calories a day! I was amazed! In high school I probably only ate close to 1200! I used to go by the model "calories in = calories out." However, this thinking is just plain wrong. It doesn't take into account basal metabolic rate (BMR) - which simply put is the amount of calories your body needs to functions on a day to day bases.

Now 2500 may sound a bit much for a 5'4 girl, but I have to say it has done nothing but good for me.
Yes, I have put on weight; not only on my body, but on the barbell - and that's what counts for me!

Maybe one day I will be able to back squat 300lbs like Camille LeBlanc (maybe...)

THE Banana Pancake Recipe

This is one of my FAVORITE recipes! If you go to CrossFit 7 Mile - you've heard me rave about these! I found a version of it when I was doing the Whole Life Challenge a couple months back and doctored it up a bit to get it exactly how I like it. It is a great substitute for traditional, high fat, high sugar pancakes.

The following recipe is easy, clean, gluten free, dairy free and paleo!

Ingredients:
Bananas (ripe)
Eggs
Spinach
Nut Butter
Coconut Oil (to cook with)

Prep:
  • Mash up 1 banana and put it directly into the blender
  • Crack 1 egg into the blender
  • 1 cup of raw spinach
  • 1 teaspoon of your favorite nut butter (I use hazlenut butter; however, you can use almond butter or whatever butter you prefer...but hazlenut will be the best...I have tested this!)
  • Combine all ingredients in the blender until the mixture is a pancake batter-like consistency
Directions:
  • Heat pan on a low-medium heat - I use around 4 - 4.5, but this will depend on your stove 
  • Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
  • When pan is hot with coconut oil, pour batter directly into pan and make 3 small pancakes in the pan approximately 3 inches in diameter. You can experiment with how large you want to make the pancakes, but I suggest starting small so they are easier to flip.
  • Cook for approximately 4 minutes - unlike regular pancakes you won't see the edges browning as much, so be sure to set a timer
  • Carefully flip the pancakes and cook on the second side for approximately 2 minutes
  • Take pancakes off pan and onto a plate
And you are done!

I usually just add grass fed butter on top and eat! Feel free to mix it up and add fresh berries, bananas or any fruit! No need for syrup on these - they are already sweet enough!




A couple tips:
  • It may take a couple times to get the correct temperature and time on your specific stove, just be sure to cook on a low heat so the egg is fully cooked.
  • I usually make a large batch of these at a time 5 - 6 bananas and keep the leftovers in the fridge and use for the next few days.
  • If you use more than one banana all the other measurements match the number of bananas you use: example: 5 bananas, 5 eggs, 5 cups spinach, 5 teaspoons nut butter.
  • You will NOT taste the spinach - trust me I have tried this with and without spinach. It is just an easy way to add some veggies into the meal! If your kids ask why they are green, just explain they are special St. Patty's Day pancakes (all year round)! They won't care anyways once they try them!
  • You can also add cacao powder or dark chocolate chips if you are in chocolatey mood

Just One of Those Days....

Coincidence is a funny thing...

Today was not the greatest day to say the least...it was quite stressful actually. I had all these negative thoughts and was holding on to my anger for a good part of the day. Then I was trying to catch up on some homework and lone behold the chapter was all about positive thinking! Go figure!

I took a moment to really evaluate my day and in the scheme of things I have so much more to be grateful for than to be upset about. If I continue to put out this negative energy, all I'm going to get back is negativity.

It never really occurred to me that the concept of positive affirmation/thinking works in everyday life. I know, this sounds like a given, but it was like a lightbulb that went off today. I have been using this strategy for years in sports - every time I went up to bat in softball, serve the ball in volleyball, step into the wresting ring, or pick up a barbell I would tell myself "you can do this...you got it...go get it!"

One of my biggest pet peeves as a CrossFit Coach is when people look at a barbell and say "I can't do that!" My response: "Well you're right when you approach it like that!"

Now it is time to bring this mindset into my everyday life and be grateful for everything I have and exude positivity! After all I am writing this from my porch, looking out at the water, in Grand Cayman!

TIP:
Here is something I'm going to try and you should give it a try to:
Every Sunday make a list of things that are positive or you are grateful for in your in life.

Use this list to get you through any rough patches of the coming week. Repeat.

How Heavy Are Cruise Ships?

Do you ever sit there and look at a cruise ship and wonder how something so big can stay afloat??

I not only wonder how the ship can stay afloat, but how it can keep floating once all the passengers are onboard! About 2/3 of Americans are overweight. I would say 3/4 of cruise ship passengers are overweight...at least...


My husband and I took a cruise last week and we were hanging out by the pool before we left port in Miami. I turned to my husband and said "this is the reason I will stay in business..."


Everywhere you turn on the ship there are obese people...I'm not talking overweight, but severly obese. Many of them were "veteran" cruisers who go on multiple ships each year and spent the majority of their time stuffing their faces.

To be completely fair, I feel like you step into a little "cruise bubble" when you board the ship. A bubble where people have no shame and eat and drink whatever they want, whenever they want. All the food they ever wanted is right at their fingertips 24/7. Not only that, but many people feel they have to get their money's worth.

I like to think I have a lot of self control, but being on the cruise I have to admit, I fell victim to this "bubble"world.

I completely understand why people choose cruises, especially now for how cheap they are! However, is the deal worth the detriment it does to your body? In order, to go on a cruise and not leave 5 pounds (or more) heavier each time, you have to show some self restraint, which obviously the majority of these people do not have in their daily lives, so it is magnified even more when you get in that "cruise ship" state of mind.

I guess the moral of my story is that temptation will always be around in our daily lives. We all deserve a vacation now and then, but being on vacation doesn't give you a free pass. Those calories do still count! I'm not saying you can't take let loose a bit - we all need this. However, do it in moderation. The next time you take a little break, be a bit more mindful of what you are putting into your body.

13 Thoughts on the 2013 Open

This year was the first time I participated in the Open. Last year I had just started CrossFit a couple weeks prior and had no idea what this "Open" thing was. All I know, is that when I saw the WOD was 7 minutes of burpees...I decided to take a rest day!

This year it was my goal of completing the Open Rx and making one of the teams that goes to Regionals. I can proudly say that I accomplished both goals and will be representing CrossFit 7 Mile on the 7 Milers team in Guayaquil, Ecuador!

Below is a list of 13 things (of the many) that I learned during the Open:


  1. Know which workouts to test out and which to do only once (hint...wall balls)
  2. Tape up hands or wear gloves for WODS with lots of snatches
  3. Never underestimate the power of yourself
  4. Never underestimate the power of the community around you
  5. Wall balls suck.
  6. Don't judge your significant other...under any circumstances! Its just better that way!
  7. Try new things - no matter what, stop making excuses
  8. Step ups are faster than box jumps if you can't do the rebound jump (who knew???)
  9. Multiple Fran's could possibly be the worst thing ever...I only know from watching, not experience
  10. Telling yourself "I can do this...I am going to dominate this workout" can make all the difference in the world
  11. Don't try to change things last minute - go with what you know and what works...just because one person says it works in a Youtube video, doesn't mean it works for everyone
  12. Don't "over study" online videos - trust yourself and your abilities
  13. A beer tastes 10 times more refreshing after you finish the Open

13.4 - Mental Game


You know that voice inside of you that say "you can't" or "just quit?" In CrossFit we have to keep telling that voice to shut the hell up and carry on with our WOD. Unfortunately, I succumbed to that pesky little voice!

I was anxious about the 95 pound jerk...I knew I could clean it no problem, but kept worrying that it would get heavy or that I might have to switch to a split jerk. So, I started off the workout and found a pace and kept that comfortable pace..

When time was called I was left sitting on the floor knowing that I could have given more, that the bar never got too heavy, that I paced myself too much! Right at that moment I decided I was doing the workout again.

I did the workout again...6 hours later. A little crazy, I know, but I had to work on Sunday and I knew there was no was I was going to be in the right frame of mind then. This time I was going to give it my all...and I did. I got 14 reps more (46 to 60 reps)! And moreover, a sense of accomplishment.

As a coach, I tell people everyday that you are stronger than that little voice in your head...I guess it is time to take my own advice.

After that one, I really don't want to be repeating any WOD's over again!

Check out this article for some great motivation, "10 Tips to Breaking Through Mental Barriers"...I know I will be rereading it before 13.5!

F*ck Wallballs X150


I will keep this one short, because the title really says it all.

While the CrossFit gods were on my side for 13.2 - the devil created 13.3!

At the time of this posting (5 days after the WOD) my legs have still not returned to their normal state! Not sure if the ever will...okay a bit dramatic, but they did hurt!

My goal on this one was 240 reps - to finish the wallballs and the double unders.

Those wall balls took me longer than I hoped, I ended up with 207; but in the end I was just happy it was over and I could lay by the fan.

I think the majority of the CrossFit community is with me in my hopes that there will not be deja, deja vu in the 2014 Open.

13.2 - Twice is Better with Loud Noises

So, 13.2 was announced and I have to say the CrossFit gods were on my side. I hoped and prayed for something with light weights and nothing that would cause further damage to my hands after 13.1.

And voila...there it was!

From the minute it was announced I decided to try this WOD twice for 2 reasons:
1. I wanted to see where I could be more efficient
2. I feel I can coach better having the first hand experience with the WOD

The first time I attempted the WOD it was just me, my judge and one other person in the gym. I got 227 reps...respectable, but not my goal of 240.

Saturday came around and the box had all sorts of loud noises going on from cheering, barbells dropping, screaming, the timer...you name it!

3, 2, 1...GO! And I was off! At around the 3rd round my hamstrings were hating me and I took a second to shake my head, which did not go unseen by my fellow athletes and was followed by words of encouragement and more loud noises. Let me tell you, if everyone wasn't there, I probably would have given up, taken the 227 and called it a day.

I ended up with 255 reps.

I have to attribute a great deal of this to the amazing community of CF7M! Its astonishing what you can do when you have the support of others!

13.1 & Mike Tyson

13.1
WOD
17 minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds as Possible)
40 burpees (touch target 6 inches above reach)
30 snatches (75/45)
30 burpess
30 snatches (135/75)
20 burpees
30 snatches (165/100)
10 burpees
AMRAP Snatches (210/120)

My first Open WOD…

So, I have to say when I first saw this WOD I was pretty excited. I have this odd love for burpees and I love snatching. In addition, I have been doing barbell club for a while as well as attending what I like to call “Chinese School of Weightlifting” (aka Kirk, who is a friend that I consistently harass to teach my to lift like a Chinese Olympian) so I felt pretty comfortable with the snatching.

My goal was to get to 150 reps (through the 20 burpees)…but that didn’t happen…

I ended up getting 130 reps, which I was really proud of! I had a solid 7 minutes to finish those snatches at 75lbs and I used up almost every second of it! I finished my last snatch at 16:59.

However, I have to say the most memorable part of 13.1 was hearing people say, “There is no way I can lift that weight!” Although not everyone that said this was able to lift the weight – everyone tried; and that is a win in my book!

I like to chalk this workout up to experience (pun intended). I need to better prepare myself as well as my athletes, both mentally and physically for these Open workouts. Looking back I realized that had I really known what the 75lb barbell was going to feel like at that moment…I probably would have gotten to at least some of the burpees. But then again you can’t plan for everything!

I will leave you with a quote that resonated with me through this workout and I am sure will continue to do so throughout the Open:
“Everyone has a plan - until you get punched in the face,” Mike Tyson.

That snatch really laid a nice right hook to my face! (pun intended again…)

again…)

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! You may, or may not have followed my previous blog: “Meghan’s Path to Health and Fitness.” I look back now and realize that this was a bit of a misnomer. It was more like “Meghan’s Path to Trying Her Best to Look Amazing in Her Wedding Dress.” I like to say I did pretty well and I learned a lot along that path. However, when the path ended, I went a little astray… However, I am back now and ready to take you on another (longer) journey – The Real Rx! Last year I finally decided to follow my dream of entering the Fitness World. I received my Group Fitness Certification as well as my CrossFit Level 1 Certification. And now, as of Monday I started classes to become a Holistic Health Coach through The Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I am so excited to start this journey and begin helping people live healthier, happier lives! I hope you enjoy the blog and if you have any questions or topics you would like to hear about…please don’t hesitate to ask!
