Halfway Point!

Congrats! If you are doing the I Am Crossfit or Trojan Challenge, you are halfway through! There have been some huge changes already. 

Overheard from some of the Team Adoni$ Trojan Challenge Athletes:

Cassie-- "I just returned from a two day conference in Chicago and managed to eat paleo the entire time - wasn't even tempted with pizza!  I've cut out all wheat from my diet over the last three weeks and have also gone dairy-free with the exception of one Tblsp. 1/2 & 1/2 a day in my coffee.  AND my bootcamp buddy Brooke told me my butt looked smaller when we were running last week. YESSSS!!!"

Emily-- "I have been feeling like I have had more energy and definitely feeling stronger in my workouts. I also noticed that through my busy work days I have been feeling the urge to just get to my workout - I am actually looking forward to it which is huge!"

Sean-- "I can vouch for Emily looking noticeably more trim, more Adonis-esque that's for sure. I'm diggin' this challenge." I've been fitting into my 'skinny shirts,' I ran the trail faster than I've been able to in a long time, and I can now bust out pull up sets of 8 like they're nothing.  My goal of being able to wash my clothes on my abs isn't looking so distant anymore!

Lindsey-- "I feel a lot better since I've changed my diet. I've lost 2-3 lbs and I can see the outline of my obliques!!" 


Keep up the great work everyone!

This weekend is the Form3 Women's Event at Crossfit Central. Registration and more info can be found here.

Stocking Your Paleo Pantry and Soup Goodness

You did it! You survived the I Am Crossfit/Trojan Challenge! Your forearms may be a little sore, your pride may be a little bruised, but it's only up from here, people!


I wanted to share a few resources with you as you plan your week of menus and Paleo goodness. The following recipe is from Sarah at Everyday Paleo. She is an inspiration for Women (and especially Moms) as she is a Coach, Mom of 3, and comes up with super easy and delicious recipes. Watch for her book and podcast coming soon!


As you are thinking about what to stock your pantry with, make sure to go here to see Sarah's Must Haves for your Paleo Pantry. 


I made this soup last week and OMG! It was sooooooo good. Perfect for a rainy day in the ATX.

Everyday Paleo’s Spin on Mulligatawny Soup

1 ½ lbs grass fed ground beef

2 shallots, diced

3 carrots, chopped

2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1 leek, halved, and sliced (make sure you clean these guys really well)

1 parsnip, peeled and chopped

¼ cup fresh parsley, diced

1 tablespoon curry powder

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

1 tablespoon cinnamon

4 cups chicken stock

1 cup coconut milk

2 tablespoons coconut oil

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

In a large soup pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.  Add the onions and leeks and saute for 4-5 minutes.  Add the rest of the veggies except the parsley and saute for another 7-8 minutes.  While the veggies are cooking, brown the ground beef in a separate skillet.  Once the meat is browned, add to the soup pot and mix in with the veggies.  Add the parsley and all the dry spices and mix well.  Add the chicken stock and coconut milk, bring to a simmer and cook for 1 hour.
