Ladies, please punch anyone in the head that ever mentions Madonna or Gwyneth as “healthy”.

I feel like “asshat” is an underappreciated insult. here’s a little “why it sucks to be a chick” story. When I was in middle school, I read in a girl magazine that I should avoid licking stamps cause those little buggers were a couple calories each (which sounds like bullshit). I canceled my subscription right then and there. i swear, i read that over 10 years ago and i still remember how eff-in mad i was that they would print this psychotic crap. oh, and then they followed that up with an article on “How to love your true size” and smiling, emaciated pre-teens selling me Sketchers. I hate this diet obsessed society

Yeah, after yesterday I think I am going to take today off.

Another way to get “skinny” and “fit” is to just stop eating all together! It turns out our bodies don’t actually need food and liquids to sustain life, but water every once in a while is okay (if you don’t mind that pesky water weight). Extra points if you can run every morning for 10 miles as well.

on the glove-lovers rebellion: i tried the nail-file solution. it helped a little, but it didn’t do enough damge to the callouses. so, i decided to go with a more aggresive approach – a callous rasp. it’s like a cheese grater for your skin. my first 100-pullup WOD had me bloodied and whiny, but then [after it healed up] i started using a rasp on my hands everyday, hard, to the point where it made my hands VERY SLIGHTLY tender. haven’t broken a callous since. no tape. no gloves.
also, i use chalk and do my best not to death-grip the bar.
December 17th, 2008 on 12:26 pm
I think if nature intended your hands to have calluses, you would be born with them. and I think scrapping metal against your skin to remove them, i.e., either single razor blades in the shower (ouch) or nail files or cheese graters (?), or whatever, is unsafe and scary. I will be selling pink and blue gloves at my kiosk outside PCF at the next WOD.
December 17th, 2008 on 12:36 pm
I think nature designed our skin so that if it needs to be toughened, it will callus. Maintaining our calluses is similar to clipping our nails – obviously it’s not natural, but if you don’t want them to rip off its a good idea.
Nature certainly did NOT intend for our hands to be covered in order to do hard work.
December 17th, 2008 on 12:39 pm
So, if nature intended your hands to have gloves, you would be born with them?

Brian – thanks for the diet tips. Can’t see how anyone could get out of bed eating just that, nevermind workout!!
Sharon – totally agree about how this society sucks regarding what women should look like.
Emma – I tried the water only diet, but at some point your bones start weighing way too much!!
December 17th, 2008 on 2:05 pm
Sharon,
You said “I hate this diet obsessed society”, I think I know what you mean. I find it ironic that someone would make that comment here where paleo/zone diets are encouraged. Didn’t Aaron recently breakdown his caloric intake to the gram?
December 17th, 2008 on 2:13 pm
I also have been using a file and chalk per Brian’s recommendation during foundations and have not had a problem with callouses. I got the one that looks more like a nut grater than a cheese grater, but it never hurt my hands to use it, especially if you use it often, even if you don’t think you need to.
December 17th, 2008 on 2:22 pm
Tony – I think what she was referring to was the diet obsessed society that encourages women to strive to be skinny and unhealthy versus muscular and fit. Focusing on what diet will make you perform athletically the best or increase your overall well-being and sharing that with others hardly seems comparable.
December 17th, 2008 on 2:47 pm
Emma – You missed my point. We are still obsessing about our diet. How is our obsessing different from someone else’s?

so I showed up to do a WOD with DLs and I lifted the weight curtis recommended. that’s never happened.
btw, I should clarify. I do have calluses on my hands, but just not as bad with gloves. and I think PCF should make people feel comfortable with their own choice, gloves or no gloves. I was responding to Aaron’s statement that real cross fitters don’t wear gloves.
December 17th, 2008 on 2:56 pm
Hey Tony.
Emma echoed my thoughts well. I was using the term “diet” to refer to a restriction of intake for weight loss vs the contents of what we consume. While Aaron is aware of his general consumption, he agreed with my opinion of everything in moderation. And being informed and sharing information on a healthy (mentally and physically) lifestyle is something I think others appreciate. Since diet (as in consumption) is one of the basic tenants to crossfit results, it would only seem appropriate to share knowledge, opinions and disagreements on that topic here. But yes, I do understand your point.
December 17th, 2008 on 3:02 pm
Tony – I think you missed my point. Obsessing about being healthy (which I don’t think everyone is necessarily doing here, at least not obsessively) is vastly different from obsessing about caloric restriction/being unhealthy just to look good. That is how “our” obsessing is different.
December 17th, 2008 on 3:06 pm
Keith – WRT Aaron’s statement – no one listens to him anyway, so I wouldn’t really worry about that. Sharon (a real CFer) kicked my ass fair and square at Angie – wearing gloves – which I am sure she was comfortable doing. That said, I’ll still tease her a little bit, but I kid cause I love.
Tony, on the diet piece – I think the difference, at least in my mind, is the empasis. What we rail against is, as Sharon was talking about, an image based society that sometimes makes little girls (and women) feel like they need to starve themselves and look aneroxic to be “pretty”. At PCF, we encourage you to choose a healthy lifestyle (whether that be paleo or Zone or neither) that helps you feel better and perform better. I’ll speak for myself and not the rest of you, but I try to eat paleo cause it makes me have more energy, feel fitter, and allow me to maximize my performace. What I don’t do is obsess about every little thing I put in my mouth. I drink beer with my friends. I will have the occasional pizza, or the more occasional chips and salsa. I live like a real person not obsessed with their diet, but with an eye on what makes me feel, perform and look better. That’s just self-awareness.
As for Aaron, I would like to point out that he’s counting calories because he wants to GAIN weight to get stronger, not LOSE weight.
December 17th, 2008 on 3:25 pm
Interesting distinction we’re drawing. I like to think of it as being aware versus obsessing. I know what I eat (only because I found a tool that is very easy) but as you can see from yesterday’s consumption, I went to dinner at a friend’s house last night without a single ounce of meat. Pizza, garlic bread, salad, cookies afterwards.

In my case, I like to see how I feel, how I perform, whether I get sick, whether I change what I eat by season, etc and I can only do that by recording it. Going over my eating stats was me reading what the computer tells me I eat, not me changing what I eat to fit a certain perameter. My diet has stabilized naturally. it wasn’t until I started recording things that I realized I almost always eat 3000 calories a day or that I eat equal amounts protein and carbs with the other half being fat … and wine. Once we escape the metabolic derangement that comes from overprocessed carbohydrates, overeating and undereating become less of a problem.
However, I will say that many people have BAD eating habits. It will shorten their life, decrease their ability to thrive in the life they live, make them sick, and in extreme cases perhaps even be passed on to their children (interesting post about Oprah on Dr. Eades Protein Power site). I don’t want to say people should freak out in an unhealthy manner, but when you are breaking ingrained dieting habits you have to pay attention and it can be hard. But once you do you figure out a way to live and thrive. Asking someone to restrict their caloric intake and live with constant hunger forever is unhealthy and unsustainable. Asking someone to make a conscious effort to eat healthy food and avoid unhealthy ones takes effort and observation but results in a fairly effortless stable state at the end … I hope.
December 17th, 2008 on 3:29 pm
And all I said about gloves was that I didn’t see a problem with wearing them so that we could continue to train. But we don’t encourage their constant use because they don’t let you lift as much, are a little less functional (no one who train barehanded couldn’t train with gloves, but someone who trains with gloves may have trouble switching to bare handed), and I had another reason that may or may not have been made-up.
December 17th, 2008 on 4:54 pm
I hear what Tony is saying (or at least I think I do). Neither direction is healthy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthorexia_nervosa
I’m not saying this is what Paleo/Zone/Crossfit advocate, just sharing a link. Anyone who has spent more than 30 seconds with me at a HH knows that I enjoy talking about nutrition and may be considered a tad obsessive about the topic in general….
And I think the final reason that Aaron didn’t mention is that when you use gloves, you get fat and lose your hair. I used to use gloves. Zone fixed the fat, but there is no getting the hair back. Don’t say we didn’t warn you….

Thanks Siddarth, I was thinking of that exact condition in my first post. I was also trying to be cheeky. I may have failed in that respect though.

DL felt off tonight. Not sure what the problem was, but I just couldnt seem to get my groove.
Then, the mini metcon. As rx’d (yes, that means I did double unders…painfully). 7:10, I think. The majority of that time was spent working my way through the double unders one or two at a time. Sigh.

Hey – whats up. Thanks for the info. I’ve been digging around looking some info up for shool, but there is so much out there. Google lead me here – good for you i suppose! Keep up the good work. I will be coming back over here in a couple of days to see if there is any more info.
