Be CrossFit Challenge: The Whole is Equal to the Sum of Its Parts

Gary, Victor, Meg, Steve, Kerri, Brad, Danielle - I am so excited and honored to be a part of this challenge with you. You have my utmost commitment to assist you in attaining your goals in any way, shape, or form that I can - and make no mistake about it - you will obtain them. We will obtain them.

We've got a great opportunity here to learn more about ourselves by learning more about each other - using that knowledge to bring each other up and encourage each other at all times - but especially when times are tough - will help all of us during these next 8 weeks. The whole is equal to the sum of its parts - and our parts are substantial. (That's right - I said it!)

Our main form of communication will be this blog. So for starters, everyone will be required to post their food log daily - yes, for all to see and yes I'm included in this as well! I'm not looking for a breakdown of the recipes, just the basics of your intake - What meat? What veggies? What drink? What snack? Was it organic? We shouldnt be hiding anything - there is no need to hide anything - we are here to be accountable to and for one another.

Take some before pictures today! If you can manage - with as little clothes as possible (keep it classy Victor). I'll understand if you dont want to email them to me - but keep them for your own records. You dont know how many times while doing work on my house I wish I had a before picture (especially my bathroom). You are working on something even more important - your body. You have that for the rest of your life! The results will be amazing and they will motivate you long after the challenge ends - take some before pictures today!

Please send me an email today at leonardo@crossfitmorristown.com and let me know the following:

-measurements (body fat %, weight, waist size, etc)
-send me the before pictures you're comfortable sending/other people seeing
-times that work for you during the week (or weekend) where we can schedule a group get together
-catalyst/stimulus for proposing/achieving your goals

Penultimately, we need a group name (or did you guys come up with an appropriate group name last night? ) FYI I'm huge into comics - so if i had my druthers it would be something superhero related... at the very least something extremely positive. Let the challenge (and blogging) begin!

Finally, I'd like to say that this is my first blog post ever - but alas I must admit to mistakenly creating a blog under an erroneous email (leonardo@morristown.com vs leonardo@crossfitmorristown.com) because I was so excited at the prospect of having a blog that I forgot my own email address. Consequently, I needed to scrap it immediately after its inception because I didnt want to have to remember another login/password. For a good laugh - here is the lame link to it http://leonardomunoz.blogspot.com/

God Bless America :)
