Time flies!

I can't believe it has been so long since I last posted to this blog.  Time really does fly faster and faster the older my kiddos get.  The last thing I posted was about our trip to Australia last winter.

One of the things that's gotten me so busy since we got back from Australia is that Daddy-J and I started a crazy little thing called Crossfit in January.  It's now been almost 10 months of doing Crossfit and it has been such a life-changing thing for us.  Now that the kids are in school full time and Daddy-J's businesses are taking a little less of his time, we both made the commitment to get into shape.

Let's just say that our 30's were not kind to us in the fitness department!  But Crossfit is changing that.  We are in better shape at 42 (almost 43 for me!) than ever.  In July we also started eating Paleo, which has led to great changes for us as well.  We are leaner, have more energy, and are sleeping better.  My fall allergies have just about disappeared this year, after having to take steroids the last two years just to make them tolerable.

For those wondering what Crossfit is, there are several great Youtube videos that explain it.  This one from Reebok is my favorite...

Anyway, if you've been wondering what has been up at Casa Llamedos and why it hasn't been showing up on the blog, my time these past few months has been taken up with intense exercise, camaraderie, community, new friends, learning about Paleo, sourcing local fresh ingredients, and just getting healthier than we've ever been.  It's a great feeling, but doesn't leave a lot of time for the computer!

I'll leave you with one last video about What is Crossfit?  This one shows real people, just like me and Jim, doing Crossfit.  It really is for anyone.
