So earlier this week they announced that there will be steroid testing at this years crossfit games. A lot of discussion about it over on Crossfit.coms message boards http://games2009.crossfit.com/thegames/games-09-steroid-testing.html#comments
Interesting article about drugs and sports here: http://www.gladwell.com/2001/2001_08_10_a_drug.htm
Any thoughts?
Sorry about the gap in posting. Between launching Fit4YouNutrition.com, starting a new onramp section, hurting my wrist, and spending time with my mom time has been in short supply!
But the wrist is healing faster than expected (just still convincing the muscles by the elbow that they are not in danger and can release the protective shut down mode)
the site launch went better than I could have dreamed (40 members registered for the forum, 5 nutrition consults done and 2 people purchased gold packages, 1 silver package…all in 10days!)
I’m currently working on the recipee section of fit4younutrition.com. Any suggestions?
Would love to hear how you are finding the 14 days of meat and greens and if you’ve come accross any good recipees worth sharing along the way.

Well there was good news and bad news today. Started off the day waking up to a very swollen arm with extremly limited range of motion in my wrist and only two fingers that could move (had a clean go drastically bad last night and pinned my arm between my knee and an 80kg bar) but Mel recommend I go see someone at performance health and they were able to get me in this afternoon and…my bionic wrist came through, now broke bones!!! just a jammed bone in the wrist, stretched ligaments and enough trauma to the muscle to cause the forearm to go into protective lockdown mode, but the ART was able to unjam the wrist, calm down the forearm and get some blood circulating to help the swelling go down. Still a lot of work to do on it, but atleast I can move 4/5 fingers now!
And then I got the call from my mom…she’s been remitted to the hospital with fluid in her lungs, hemridging over her gullbladder and a whole lot of fluid retention everywhere. Don’t know whats causing it, but they are holding her on the cancer unit while they run tests (she fought cancer that was caught pretty late a few years back and wasnt given much of a chance but has been free and clear for a few years now). SHould no more over the next couple days.
So between the arm and the call from my mom, I almost caved in and bought chocolate covered almonds, but I decided to go for unroasted cashews and cucumbers instead! Thanks for everyone who is following along. Makes it so much easier to ignore the impulses when you know that others are in the same boat as you.
