    May have over did it a bit last night made a big scramble last night for dinner
    Organic brown eggs
    Nitrate free bacon
    Sweet potato
    Tomato
    Onion
    Peppers
    Spinach
    Avocado
    Then took a nice brisk 2 mile walk with the bricks, then decided to do 5 sets of 10 burpees. I learned the hard way what a "vurp" is

          The one thing I have noticed about eating healthier is that it takes longer to digest, so keep that in mind. On a positive note though, keep you full longer

          I can't wait to get my GR1 so I can start testing myself with the bricks on my back

            @bagley920:

            Little scary

            selection is very different from the challenge

                  selection is a much more rigorous 48+ hr event they just recently started, simulates special forces selection, plenty of info on their website

                    Gotcha. Hence the small number of participants

                        d666 or bags - what's the definition of "burpees" or "vurp"? wasn't able to track those words 🙂

                          Burpees are an exercise-

                          Vurp i'm guessing is Jeff's way of saying vomit+burp at the same time. Like throwing up in your mouth kinda feeling

                                if a plain round kettle bell doesn't do it for you, how about one that looks like an angry chimp

                                          Didn't realize the chimp kettlebell is from an Austin based company.

                                          Hmmmmm, road trip?
