Did the 1800 snatch WOD but since none of us had much experience, we just basically started from scratch. Great coaching Ryan and Liz!
Worked up to a 115# snatch. Can’t remember on the shrugs. Maybe 195#.

Alison — thanks for documenting my first WOD. That shot of me rowing will for sure be my “BEFORE CF” pic

Kate and Pete: Thanks for helping me out on this morning’s team row — my first erg and first WOD. Just about as much fun as a person can have without puking. Cheers.

Full fat yogurt’s another good option. It’s not entirely all fat, but if you like eating dairy products, it’s a good choice.

I pick up the Seven Stars Farm Original Plain yogurt at Whole Foods. 100 out of 170 serving calories are fat – I think that’s the highest I’ve found anywhere so far.

(I admit that I sometimes sweeten it with a bit of honey…)

Erin & Jenny, great work tonight! Same to the rest of the 5 & 6pm crew — photos of tonight’s classes are up in picasa, click the link in my name.

Also, Heather I second the aforementioned — my go-to fat is extra virgin olive oil. Avocados, nuts, and sunflower seeds round it out for me.

Thank you Ryan and Liz for making a newbie feel welcome tonight. Props to Sarah for teaming with the beginners (me & Jenny) — thanks for the motivation! Great job girls!

Pouring olive oil over whatever meat or vegetables you’re eating is another good and delicious way to get your fat in.

Sophie – awesome photo/garvatar!!!

Avocado is awesome fat! (I mean good fat, i just think it is sooo yummy)
I keep some chicken salad w/chopped veggies in it and use 1/2 mayo/avocado mashed up, in small containers in my fridge for quick snacks.

I think my favorite paleo snack is an apple with almond butter and some turkey slices. I know it is still the fat of nuts but it is in a different format. Laura B taught me to microwave the almond butter for 10 sec to make it easier to spread.

PS. whoever picked the blue, I think it is making the photos look better!

Great rowing lesson…I really needed that. Never really understood what I was doing until today – so, thank you, Alison!

One question…what are some foods (easy to prep – ideally grab and go) that give “good fat?” I get the protein and veggies and all that jazz…but all I know for the good fat is nuts…anyone with suggestions, please chime in!
