      Yeah, “I” know how to drive on snow and ice, but it’s the other people
      On the roads you have to worry about.

      Ironically, there is a driving/racing school in Atlanta that has an ice slick for you to practice driving in… its insanely Expensive to take their courses, but I think more people should haha

        Last few days after the ice storm were pretty much spent cleaning the house after the kids were home more than normal. I did manage to make it out of the house a few times and take the OD lefty with me 🙂

        Some shots from classes at the gym


        Cleaned the gym floors after mud had been tracked in a ton

        Went out with friends last night:



        Thought this looked. Little like one of our esteemed mods [emoji41]

        Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

          You must mean the handsome, intelligent one…

          Couple of questions:

          How does mud get tracked into the gym? Every gym I’ve ever used has been facist about outdoor footwear inside. Is this a badass Cross Fit thing?

          How often do you get out with friends in the evening with the little ones in the background. I manage about once every six months... even that is a little trying.

          Great update (although that goes without saying really).

                ^ hahaha you two are too funny

                @neph93 - we have bay doors and our members routinely run 400-800m, come back inside and do weightlifting or gymnastics movements becoming hitting another round.  I also have a K-9 patrol narcotics officer that brings her dog with her to the last class of the day (not too many people to get
                Upset over a “dog in the gym”), so the floors do get dirty. It takes me about 90 minutes to use our “floor cleaner” zambonnie thingy, and try to do it as often as I can.

                As for the “going out with friends,” it’s happens maybe once every month or two.  Mardi Gras ball season has started, so we will be taking advantage of our babysitter network very strongly over the next couple
                Of weeks haha

                  We’ve still got a little guy at 10 months, so that’s tiring. Maybe in a year or so I’ll have the energy [emoji28]

                  So it is a badass x-fit thing! I love the dog story. Good on you for being inclusive.

                    Since it’s my last week with the OD Lefty, I figured I’d try and do some mass updates.

                    Sunday was spent grocery shopping, shopping for some new running shoes, and food prepping.

                    Started off with making breakfast for the week:
                    Bacon and egg white pop overs with spinach

                    Made my own version of a Texan favorite, “Ranchero Beans.” I used Connecuh sausage, which is made in a town north of us in Connecuh county Alabama, chicken broth, a little beer, and black beans:

                    Keeping the Texas theme alive, I also made some Chicken Flautas with roasted tomatoes, onions and bell peppers:

                    For dinner I made Porterhouse Cut Pork Chops with roasted potatoes, asparagus, and broccolini

                    yesterday after taking the kids to the Nanny, I whipped up some bulletproof coffee

                    And then hit the pavement to try out my new running kicks

                    Continued…

                      After my run, I had some Greek yogurt and granola and black coffee

                      Then hit some work before brunch:

                      The juice drink is 1/2 coconut water and 1/2 cold pressed apple/pineapple/carrot/mango juice. The coconut water ads more hydration elements and cuts down on the total sugar in a full glass.

                      Came home from coaching classes all
                      Evening and made cauliflower rice and chicken korma (sadly a bottled sauce)

                      My wife and I are trying to cut out soda, so I made some of these fruit cocktails. Frozen Berries and Watermelon flavored sparkling water:

                      This morning, opened up the gym and we had a fun workout with Medicine Ball Cleans and Rope Climbs:

                            Thanks Bryan - actually the House next to me is currently for sale, and you could easily slide into it for relatively cheap 🙂

                              Thanks Marlin - I wouldn’t consider myself a chef, as I do not follow recipes and pretty much put garlic on everything lol

                              But I do enjoy cooking [emoji851]

                                What kind of running shoes are those? I like the nice wide toe box.

                                  Hey Joe, that are Altra Torrin 3.0

                                  They are zero drop, really cushy and have a very wide toebox but still hug the heel. Their slogan on the box is “embrace the space” - thumbs up to the marketing intern that came
                                  Up with that one 🙂

                                      Thanks @Seul - ironically, I tried being vegan a few years ago when I was into Ultra Marathon running (the majorly good guys did it so I wanted to try) and I just ate Nutella and Corn tortillas all the time haha

                                      Another mainly food update, but that’s pretty much the highlight of my days right now. My wife has been placed on a ton of new projects so life is a bit hectic..

                                      Left work and went to the local
                                      Sporting good store to try on some sneakers:

                                      Comfy but not my style…

                                      Came home and put together some charcuterie:

                                      Enjoyed it while I was cooking some Chinook Salmon

                                      My “healthy” kick continues with zucchini noodles and a sweet potato

                                      Yesterday after dropping the kids off at Pre school, I ran to Mobile to see if I could find some decent Nikes

                                      Got a pair of adidas for my son- I thought they were cool

                                      Came home and had brisket and Brussels for lunch:

                                      Kids hung out at the gym with me for a while and enjoyed seeing one of the “gym dogs” that comes late in the day:

                                      This pittie, Roxy, is seriously the sweetest and most well behaved dog ever. She was found pregnant (probably for the 4th or 5th time), chIned to a pole in a trailer park. She lives a much happier life now.

                                      Came home and turned leftovers into something tasty

                                      That’s it for me today - I’ll get another update or two before I sent the jacket to JDelange

                                      Have a great day everyone!

                                          I dated a vegan once.  She existed almost exclusively on grilled "cheese" sandwiches.  I'm surprised she didn't die of scurvy.

                                          Though it's been years since we talked last; maybe she did…

                                            I read that this is a thing now, lots of younger People who go Vegetarian or Vegan just Stop eating Meat but don´t change anything other then that so their Diet consits of Side Dishes and Yogurt, probably a good way to die young.
