It Isn’t About Today

Each year is going quicker than the last and, as I approach my mid-30’s (shut up all of you), I constantly am grateful that I have found CrossFit and Paleo. I feel and look better than I ever have. My state of mind is different than it was in my 20’s. A few years ago, I was working out for looks. As I entered my 30’s, things started to ache a bit more, I was staying sorer longer, I was cashing checks my body couldn’t cash. Not to mention that those last few pounds…they were more stubborn than ever! Until CrossFit and Paleo.

I read this Again Faster article yesterday and thought it said perfectly what I was feeling…Enjoy…

I was leaning against the windows of the Walgreens, waiting for the 66 bus to come and bring me to the gym. Evening rush hour was slowing everything down. A young guy was pacing the sidewalk nearby, asking every second or third person if they might donate money to save the children, or the whales, or the trees.

She was a quarter of the way across the street before I saw her. When she stepped off the curb, I’m sure she had the light. But now, as she pushed her walker, the light was changing and a stream of cars could do nothing but watch and wait. Part of me wanted to go over, pick up the old lady and carry her the rest of the way. Every step was progress, but barely.

I admired her persistence, sad that it took her five full minutes to cross the street. I thought it wasn’t as sad as if she couldn’t make it at all, and I thought about a conversation I’d had recently.

I was sitting beneath the judge’s tent at the Northeast Qualifiers, in a beach chair real low to the pavement. A hundred yards away, barbells and bumper plates crashed to the ground. I could hear the pull-up bars shake under the momentum of kips. Rafael lowered himself into the seat next to me.

As she pushed her walker, the light was changing and a stream of cars could do nothing but watch and wait.
I don’t remember how we got to talking about it, but eventually he mentioned his father. He said there was no way his father could get in and out of a chair like the ones we were in. He said, “I love my father, but I don’t want to end up like him.”

If he isn’t already, Rafael is close to turning forty, though you’d never guess it. He’s a fighter, a trainer, an athlete, and a constant stream of encouragement. You’re always just a little bit better when Raf is nearby, and as we sat there, the irony of what we were talking about didn’t escape me.

It was a weekend to celebrate athleticism, to marvel at the virility, viability and ferociousness of youth, and we were talking about what it was like to grow old. All around us wandered the chiseled bodies of young gods and goddesses, but Rafael and I were talking about nursing homes. We were talking about our fathers.

My father isn’t in bad shape. He’s in his fifties and stays active. My mother sees to it that he eats relatively well, and when he’s not battling some knee or shoulder problem, he gets to the gym a couple times a week. I’ve tried to introduce him to CrossFit, but he’s a man of routine. Twenty minutes on the stationary bike, some seated shoulder presses and leg extensions and he’s happy. Every now and again, he’ll call me and tell me he got on the Concept2 at the Y, just like I showed him.

So maybe I shouldn’t be worried, but I am. I’ve watched his mother start showing signs of Alzheimer’s. At dinner with her, I’ve watched him put on a smile as she tells us the same story she told us ten minutes prior, and I can’t help but wonder if that smile will be mine some day. I want him to stop eating pasta and bread, but I’m fighting against years of homemade Italian cooking and I don’t know how hard to push. I don’t know how to tell him it’s because I don’t want him to end up like her.

Rafael and I are sitting in beach chairs real low to the pavement and he says, “I love my father, but I don’t want to end up like him,” and I start to wonder if my old man could get in and out of the chair. I don’t know the answer.

It’s so easy to get lost in the vanity of now. In the mirror’s reflection. It’s so easy to focus on the Fran time and the max deadlift and the consecutive pull-ups. What’s harder to remember is that we aren’t doing this for today.

It’s nice to look good with your clothes off, but it’s nicer to know that for the rest of your life you’ll be able to take those clothes off without the assistance of a certified health care provider. That you’ll be able to get across the street without the assistance of a traffic cop.

While my father’s mother forgets, my mother’s parents are on their boat, floating down the Hudson River on a trip they’ve taken many times before. When summer comes, family barbeques are scheduled around their arrival. My grandfather is still one of the strongest people I’ve ever known, and my grandmother is still one the sharpest.

I can’t know all the reasons my grandparents have aged differently. There are too many variables. I can’t know if it was environment, their diet, lifestyle, or genetics, but I do know that blaming randomness is too easy. The choices we make in youth give color to the portrait of our future selves.

What we’re doing, it isn’t about today.

    Bridget awesome pic on the CF Football site!

  2. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 8:52 am

    Was going to make today a rest day, but the AMRAP sounds interesting… might be in later to kill myself.

  3. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 8:52 am

    Cute puppies!!! :mrgreen:

  4. Joey on June 25th, 2009 8:54 am

    Appreciate the option between main site and CFFB… Main site wod looks like it will turn you into Goldberg.

  5. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 9:02 am

    Don’t worry guys, we’re on our first break. We started at 8:15, which meant we started at 8:30.

  6. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 9:04 am

    The AMRAP workout just has “Wassup, Ladies??” written all over it…..

  7. bridget on June 25th, 2009 9:05 am

    The AMRAP is a great WOD.

    Joey and Ryan, you guys have done this one before at CFPT v1.0 .

  8. Brandi on June 25th, 2009 9:07 am

    I don’t know about anyone else but I think those are the cutest dogs ever!

  9. Joey on June 25th, 2009 9:08 am

    Oh yeah, this is the one that we did right before you took the Pic of Ryan sleeping on the rower or something…right?

  10. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 9:10 am

    Brandi, your pups were so cute when they came in the gym! Tied together and following each other around!

  11. bridget on June 25th, 2009 9:13 am

    HAHA…yea, I think that was the one actually…

  12. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 9:14 am

    I made mushroom burgers last night that were the most AMAZING things ever. Make a burger, however you like, then make the mushroom topping. I sauteed mushrooms in olive oil, then added some coconut milk and let it simmer, then thickened the sauce with almond meal. I put this on top of my burger. YUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM.

  13. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 9:21 am

    I see Mushroom Burger Fridays starting up at CFPT as soon as we get a Propane Jane out there…

  14. Reagan on June 25th, 2009 9:23 am

    Jess A – that sounds AWESOME! I will have to try that!

  15. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 9:25 am

    I LOVE mushrooms. This might be my new fav meal!

  16. Matt on June 25th, 2009 9:25 am

    Where do we vote for the social?

  17. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 9:27 am

    Just post your preference here on the blog, Matt.

  18. Jenny S on June 25th, 2009 9:27 am

    Jess – we had similar mushroom burgers on Monday with mashed cauliflower. Favorite paleo meal so far!

  19. Jenny S on June 25th, 2009 9:29 am

    Trader Joes has dried assorted wild mushrooms. Some interesting textures but really yummy.

  20. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 9:31 am

    Jenny I got some mushrooms at TJ’s last weekend, took them home, grilled them, and then waited to start tripping..nothing…mushroom quality has gone to hell since college, I can tell you that much…

  21. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 9:35 am

    I was gonna go with the mashed cauliflower last night, too, but got home from the gym too late to mess with it… had some cateloupe on the side instead. But I agree, mashed cauliflower would make the meal even better!

  22. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 9:36 am

    Do you just eat the dried mushrooms as they are, or do you cook with them?

  23. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 9:46 am

    Still on break…for those interested in our “training”. Pretty sure this is why my cell phone service costs so much…AT&T consumer side wastes time all day every day…

  24. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 9:53 am

    Anybody interested in going to see the Food, Inc. movie?

  25. Reagan on June 25th, 2009 10:08 am

    Jenny T – that is ridic!!! :twisted:

  26. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 10:24 am

    Is ANYBODY doing the pull up option??

  27. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 10:27 am

    No way. I’m not up to kipping 100 pullups in a row yet. My hands would be ripped to shreds fo sho.

  28. Jenny S on June 25th, 2009 10:28 am

    I think Brad sautee’s them in olive oil and some beef broth to reconstitute them. (I try to pay attention).
    Mike D – You have to go to Colorado to get the good shrooms.

  29. Reagan on June 25th, 2009 10:30 am

    I would def do the AMRAP but I am not sure I can come in :( Softball game…

  30. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 10:30 am

    Bridget, nice of you to hold back in that picture and let Welbourne think he is winning…You don’t want to beat him too badly during the cert.

  31. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 10:34 am

    Whoo hooo, break time again!! 10 minutes!! 10 = 25!

  32. Dan on June 25th, 2009 10:51 am

    I may or may not come in and do the 100 pull ups for time. Im going to the RUBBER match between the Yanks and Braves tonight and didn’t bring a change of clothes for either. So 100 pull ups in jeans and no shirt? don’t see that happening. So i guess no pull ups for me. It sounds kinda fun though.

  33. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 10:52 am

    Dan, there is a hose out by Horton Antiques..improvise..

  34. Joey on June 25th, 2009 10:53 am

    I might try both WOD’s tonight, Mike. I feel like I haven’t done a lot of pullups lately, so if I recover fast enough from the AMRAP I’ll give my shot at doing 100 pull ups in less than 10 minutes. Still haven’t been able to do that yet damnit.

  35. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 11:02 am

    Why do you even say it, Joey? You know good and well you won’t do 2 WODs. Tonight, or ever. Quitter.

  36. Joey on June 25th, 2009 11:05 am

    Let’s not dish out shit if you can’t take it, Jess. You quit life.

  37. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 11:06 am

    I’m only dishing because you started it. By the way, have you even paid your way into the competition yet???

  38. Joey on June 25th, 2009 11:08 am

    Yes. Are you still listed as a quitter for the competition?

  39. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 11:14 am

    Yup. You don’t bother me Joey. Doesn’t count when a quitter calls someone else a quitter.

  40. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 11:15 am

    Besides, my results will still be better than yours, competition or no competition. :lol:

  41. Taylor on June 25th, 2009 11:16 am

    Joey, dem fightin words!

  42. Joey on June 25th, 2009 11:18 am

    Side bet?

  43. Ryan on June 25th, 2009 11:23 am

    Cage fight time

  44. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 11:24 am

    I think you both ought to pay up and try to battle it out for second place on the podium, looking up at me in first place, of course..I am going to put the money towards a bar tab anyway…

  45. Jimbo on June 25th, 2009 11:26 am

    AMRAP!!! Can’t wait to throw around some weight and pass out in a pool of my own sweat!!
    We also need to decide which pool we will be destroying this Saturday! My hands are almost healed and ready for lime crushing!!

  46. Joey on June 25th, 2009 11:26 am

    What’s your progress so far, Mike? I just lost the ability to wear two more pairs of pants this week. Foods expensive, new clothes are expensive…I need this stupid money. Still haven’t gotten on a scale since Bali – I need that fat tank asap.

  47. Maddy on June 25th, 2009 11:27 am

    I like Mike’s idea!!

  48. Jenn Mc on June 25th, 2009 11:28 am

    I vote for the 25th….. playing in a tourney in the horrible city of Athens, GA on the 18th.

    How were the “treats” last night?

  49. Maddy on June 25th, 2009 11:28 am

    Don’t foreshadow too much… I’m just sayin

  50. FJ on June 25th, 2009 11:43 am

    Jess A & Joey – Bench Press Challange!

    McDummy – The Classic City is awesome and dont you forget it!

    AMRAPERS – I did the AMRAP in Dawn Patrol and it was worse than I remembered. Beware!

  51. Jenn Mc on June 25th, 2009 11:53 am

    FJ… seriously… with the McDummy….let’s not add another nickname to the arsenal here. Plus, that one has already been used by my college professors.

    You are lucky that you did dawn patrol this morning and won’t be in tonight. I’ve got some McSweat for you! :)

    The only good thing about Athens… is leaving it. :)

  52. Heather from CrossFit Smyrna on June 25th, 2009 12:03 pm

    Hi, there.

    This is Heather from CrossFit Smyrna.

    Congrats Bridget and Ray on your CrossFit Football cert and on your upcoming expansion. Very exciting.

    I saw that you are looking for press options to promote your new affiliation and gym expansion.

    Thought I would offer a few ideas:

    + Fax a press release to Atlanta Magazine, Peach Magazine and Jezebel Magazine. I interned at Atlanta Magazine in college. The magazine was always three months out….so they should be working on their September issue now (perfect for a football season related article that would pertain more to the general public). It surely will get more people amped about the pending season to read an article about the first gym in Georgia to achieve a CrossFit Football affiliation. Bridget, you are a great writer. I would also place a call and speak with someone about the possibility of an article. You should also encourage the editor to send out a staff member to work out in your gym for a month and write about his/her results.

    + Contact the Lifestyle Editor at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The AJC always looks for interesting angles for the Sunday paper particularly. Health, nutrition, exercise, etc….

    + Also, try the Northside Neighbor newspaper. It is a “hometown-feel-good” newspaper and they encourage submissions.

    + Watch for the “Best Gym” nominations for the Best of the Big A in Access Atlanta. You can check the site for upcoming and current nominations.

    Jess A, nice to see you on our blog yesterday.

    Happy Thursday. 8)

    All the best.

  53. Jenn Mc on June 25th, 2009 12:03 pm

    I put my money on Jess in this challenge…. I think Joey’s knees will give out getting up off the bench and then Jess will go in for the kill. :lol:

  54. bridget on June 25th, 2009 12:10 pm

    Heather – AWESOME! Thank you so much for all the suggestions and advice! I wasn’t sure if we needed to submit a release through PRWire or something like that, so knowing I can do it directly is great :) .

    Much appreciated!

  55. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 12:13 pm

    Joey, I am down about ten lbs since the last visit from the Truck Full Of Lies, but a lot more progress in terms of fat loss and overall fitness. I would say more but then you would never pay up.

    Jess, nice to see you visiting other blogs when we are struggling with the hundo mark daily.

  56. Joey on June 25th, 2009 12:16 pm

    What’s wrong with all you people? I paid the 25 bucks on Monday… I’m in it to win it.

  57. Joey on June 25th, 2009 12:19 pm

    McDummy – how much ya bench?

  58. Heather from CrossFit Smyrna on June 25th, 2009 12:20 pm

    Bridget, I think as long as you make it look professional–it goes through on the same fax line (at least it used to).

    Also, I would make the follow-up call and speak with someone wherever you submit. Be as accommodating as possible. Persistence is key. =)

    I enjoy all of your nutrition posts. I am more abstemious thanks to you!

  59. Joey on June 25th, 2009 12:22 pm

    A few weeks ago I mentioned a bitchin’ creamy vinaigrette that I got addicted to…found it on the ‘net: http://www.foodlocker.com/vobcv08.html

    The bottle I bought in the grocery store says Gluten Free right on the front…I still dont even know what the hell gluten is, but I feel for it, bought it, and got freakin’ hooken on it.

    Just ate a spinach/buffalo chicken lunch meat/red onion salad with it and fell in love all over again. I highly recommend trying.

  60. bridget on June 25th, 2009 12:27 pm

    Thanks Heather, it’s great to hear that peeps outside of CFPT are benefiting from my food tirades too :D !

    Which reminds me…if any of you (that includes you lurkers out there…I know you’re out there!) have any topics you want me to get on my soapbox on…please post suggestions. I want to write or post what peeps are interested in…

  61. Joey on June 25th, 2009 12:54 pm

    fell*….hooked*

  62. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 12:56 pm

    Bridget, I think the lurkers love the recipes, great finds at Whole Foods and TJ’s, and explanations of how Paleo works and stuff. But most of them want us to get back to the double entendres that brought them here in the first place…Speaking of, let’s take up the slack for SaraH, who is no doubt cranking up the workouts this week at Crossfit Montego Bay, if by cranking up the workouts you know I mean sleeping til noon, drinking at lunch, and enjoying her honeymoon ….

  63. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 1:21 pm

    Mike, I hear ya… though Ray using me as a model for the dead bug yesterday rendered a few juvenile chuckles!! “Lay down, flat on your back and throw your legs straight up in the air…”

  64. Jenn Mc-Not-a-dummy on June 25th, 2009 1:51 pm

    Joel… I OWN those PVC pipes on the bench. Might even be able to bench two of them at the same time. Bring it.

  65. Jenn Mc-Not-a-dummy on June 25th, 2009 1:51 pm

    Jenny T… did “Lay down, flat on your back and throw your legs straight up in the air…” bring back fond memories of your first date with FJ?

  66. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 1:52 pm

    Whew. No go on the side bet Joey. I just attended an awards lunch for a client and had the most amazing chocolate chip cookie ever.

    It’s funny this awards luncheon was for a safety award, and I was injured at this client’s office 3 1/2 years ago. 8O

    Thanks for the welcome Heather! And thanks for visiting our blog!

  67. Jenn Mc-Not-a-dummy on June 25th, 2009 1:53 pm

    Jess were the awards shaped like helmets? How exactly do you get injured doing accounting? Calculator incident? Massive paper cut? :) hehehehhee

  68. Jenn Mc-Not-a-dummy on June 25th, 2009 1:54 pm

    (actually… if you were seriously hurt… please disregard my jokes above… I heart my fellow pasty girl)

  69. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 2:05 pm

    Jess, did you sprain your ankle running down the hall at your client’s office to get some thin mints???

  70. Reagan on June 25th, 2009 2:07 pm

    LOL Jenn McDummy — but Jess A – do tell.
    How does an injury occur while accounting? :)

    Joey – re your vinegarette post = dumb like tractor 8O

  71. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 2:33 pm

    Break time!!! Whew, we almost went through training for an hour!

  72. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 3:00 pm

    Is anyone besides Reagan running the Peachtree?? Reagan, as you run by CFPT, I will hand you a paleo friendly electrolyte drink in a refreshing flavor..It will just look like an Irish Car Bomb.

    40! 30! 20! Run, Reagan, Run!!

  73. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 3:06 pm

    I was at the client site for an inventory observation… they lifted me in a cherry picker to count stacks, and when we were about to go back down, they slammed shut the extension on my hand. Hairline fracture, but a trip to the emergency room nonetheless. And a worker’s comp claim – second in the history of my firm. :D

    And that’s how an accountant gets injured at a client site. :lol:

  74. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 3:08 pm

    I have a similar story. Working on a search in Des Moines, Iowa had me so depressed I went to FADO and had nine Guinness, tripping on the concrete on the way out….That’s how a Recruiter gets a job related injury…

  75. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 3:09 pm

    I get those every weekend Mike. Work drives me to drink. Drinking causes me to fall. It’s a constant cycle.

  76. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 3:15 pm

    Jenny T, I swear, you guys and your breaks over there at AT&T. This just came from our IT guy…

    “There is a issue with AT&T wireless phone service in the Atlanta area. Some phones have limited connectivity and in some cases when your number is called you will receive a fast busy. This is for all wireless phones using AT&T service. A ticket has been opened with AT&T.”

  77. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 3:26 pm

    Well, that doesn’t affect me…I’m in training to be a complex services customer care rep for consumer in the event of a strike… complex services = DSL bundled with local and long distance… nice, huh?

    But that notice does explain why I’m stealing internet from the Georgian Terrace and my wireless card isn’t working!

    Please don’t be confused, AT&T doesn’t take breaks like this, apparently it’s limited to the union jobs… Yeah, I’d strike, too if I were used to this and making bank with awesome insurance and AT&T wouldn’t build me a new lunch room….

  78. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 3:29 pm

    Ha! Is that how you’ve been communicating with us this week? Via the Georgian Terrace?! :D

  79. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 3:34 pm

    Nope, I’ve only been stealing internet today. But I don’t feel bad since the good folks of AT&T put up a couple hundred people over there for 5 days this week including our trainers and will do it again in two weeks…I feel like I have paid for it.

    This trainer just said something about not worrying if we can’t remember this stuff in the event of a work stoppage, there would be floaters everywhere… I giggled. Floaters… wow… I need to get out of here.

  80. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 3:35 pm

    If I have a whole pineapple, how do I get the pineapple out? Does that make sense to anyone? I am not sure how to break into that bad boy…

  81. Dan on June 25th, 2009 3:42 pm

    Jenny- twist the top off. cut that bad boy in half length wise then quater it. cut out what was the center because thats HARD and NASTY. then just slice off the outside. its actually pretty simple.

  82. FJ on June 25th, 2009 3:43 pm

    I think you should smash it with a rock like a caveman. Mad Paleo Yo

  83. Reagan on June 25th, 2009 3:43 pm

    I think you cut the top off then cut it in half?

  84. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 3:45 pm

    It’s sharp, I’m afraid it will cut me back!

    Maybe I’ll bring the whole pineapple into this office tomorrow and threatan people with it. I’m sure the Tiny 290’s in training will tell me fruit has sugar in it or something insightful like that!

  85. Reagan on June 25th, 2009 3:47 pm

    Yes they will. Fruit has sugar and those three pop tarts they just ate don’t…. :x

  86. Dan on June 25th, 2009 3:50 pm

    Reagan when you say 3 do you mean 6, ya know because they’re twin packs

  87. Reagan on June 25th, 2009 4:01 pm

    well they buy 3 and split them between two people. LOL.

    “well I didn’t eat lunch and these twizzlers are fat free!”

    Oh Ms Brenda….

  92. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 4:17 pm

    Mike, I assume you’ve got this “reagan loves cherries” comment under control? Jenn? Someone…????

  93. Jenn Mc-Not-a-dummy on June 25th, 2009 4:22 pm

    Jenny… pineapple “corer” at Bed Bath and Beyond….:)

    Where does one buy coconut butter? I’ve tried Fresh Market and TJs… no luck. gonna make Paleo pancakes this weekend. :)

    The wheels are spinning, but I got nothing for you on Reagan and her cherries right now…

  95. Jenn Mc-Not-a-dummy on June 25th, 2009 4:23 pm

    Reagan’s comment was much too EASY … plus I’m McDum and didn’t notice it :)

  96. Jenny S on June 25th, 2009 4:27 pm

    Jenn- Is this the same as coconut oil/fat? They have that at Fresh Market in the oil/fat section.

  97. Mike D., with the Master Plan on June 25th, 2009 4:28 pm

    Going back to the pineapple, do you have a machete?? as far as coconut butter, are you going paleo or straight Gilligan’s Island diet??

  98. Jenny T on June 25th, 2009 4:32 pm

    Jenn, I thought you said McDunn…that could be a good one, too.

    And I did see a pineapple corer somewhere which is what made me think it might be more difficult… I shall try this one by hand and if it is as difficult and annoying as cutting up an apple, I shall purchase a corer.

    I see much pineapple in my future!

    I vote for the social on the 25th- I am out of town on the 18th.

  100. Jenn Mc-Not-a-dummy on June 25th, 2009 5:17 pm

    I believe Bridget and Jess were using cococnut butter.. I was looking with the rest of the better at FM and couldn’t find it. Hmmmm…

    Mike… many of us at CFPT were not born during the Gilligan’s Island era. So maybe we need another reference here. :)

    I will be McDone after this WOD tonight….

  101. Jess A on June 25th, 2009 5:23 pm

    Jenn – I’ve got a whole arsenal of coconut products, but no butter so far… just milk, flakes and oil.

    Sorry, Dirty; I just thought with your 3 hour workday you would be familiar with everything on daytime tv for the past 30 years or so. You can’t watch soccer every day.
