In a world where women are told what they can't do, we are here to do it better than you!!



The Elite Woman's Mission:

We are the women of Elite CrossFit. We are mothers, grandmothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters. We are secretaries, CPA's, students, teachers, community leaders, professors, and coaches. We are a family of females, driven by the goal to be better human beings. We achieve this through fitness. We will lift, jump, run, swing, press, squat, throw, pull, snatch, clean, row, win, lose, and climb our way to the top! We will never give up. Ever. We are here to send a powerful message that beauty and confidence are found through strength. And we are strong. To all the ladies who are scared of a barbell, to those afraid to sweat, and to all the women who have sufficed to "girl pushups," we challenge you to take the leap; adequate is not our goal. Better is what we must be. We will push each other, compete, succeed, fail, and endure pain some men may not imagine. And we will do it everyday, so we are better than we were yesterday.

paleo challenge started early

this week i've been integrating "paleo" into my diet...getting a jump start on the challenge. why wait til feb. 1, right?? just wanted to share with you all that last night, i made spaghetti squash out of curosity, for the first time! it was pretty tasty, didn't taste quite like pasta, but close enough when you add the sauce and meat.

spaghetti squash prep:
one whole spaghetti squash in the microwave for 8 min to soften skin
remove and cut lengthwise, removing the center and seeds
place in glass dish, face down, skin side up, in 1/4c water, cover in saran-wrap and microwave another 9-10min
remove and using a fork, scrape out squash. it comes out all stringy, like noodles

brown ground beef or turkey in pan
add meat to marinara sauce and heat (homemade pasta sauce is recommended...but i used jar-ed for time!!)
top spaghetti squash "noodles" with meat/sauce

add a side salad with veggies and oil-based dressing
