Mark’s Daily Apple shares the horrifying news that the American Academy of Family Physicians has recently partnered with The Coca-Cola Company. An excerpt:

Here’s the gist. The aforementioned Academy of Family Physicians recently partnered with The Coca-Cola Company (peddler of Coke, Sprite, Fanta and tricked up sugar-, I mean vitaminwater and POWERADE), to help “educate consumers about the role their products can play in a healthy, active lifestyle.” Yes, do the double take….  Now sit with it. Is it burning your brain yet?

  1. Hey everybody… I’m having a baby shower/get together/ extravaganza or whatever it should be called on Saturday. Everyone is invited if you interested. I live across the train tracks, about 2 minutes from the gym… 131 Mayson Avenue.

    If you hadn’t heard, Zeke and Joe have had three children that they are in the process of adopting for about 2 weeks now. The party is a chance to meet the kids, shower them with love and gifts (not required,of course) and have some fun. It’s at 3PM Saturday.

    Email or call me for more details, or just pop in (404.431.9393 or guich3@gmail.com)
    Thanks.
    Scott

    • I’ll be there. Can’t wait to meet the kiddies!

    • how old are they?

  2. To correct my poor grammar. They’ve had the kids about 2 weeks, and they are in the process of adopting them…;)

  3. 9 rounds + 12 snatches

    snatches 45 pounds
    knee push ups

  4. 9 rounds + 10 snatches

    45 pounds
    mod pushups

  5. It’s been a real $hitty week for me. Distracting things going on, no sleep, intermittent eating. Motivation has been down, workouts have sucked, and I’ve been feeling like crap.

    But today, La Mar got me to work out with him, and I have to say, I feel a lot better now :mrgreen:

    As Rx’d with 45#
    all snatches unbroken
    15 rounds even

    • Nice job! Glad you are feelin’ better. See you tonight.

    • Maybe you should make a habit of working out with La Mar.

      • Thanks alot Pat ; ) Actually, it’s pretty cool to have an opportunity to work out with one of the best CF athletes around!

        • Ha! We all need each other to help us be the athletes we want to be!

  6. rx-11 rds, plus 10 snatches

    those darn pushups slowed me down. fun working out with miguel, pat, and mike! makes 20 minutes go by alot faster.

    the first round went unbroken, then snatches went 6/6, pushups started off going 5/5, then got weaker and weaker…

  7. Worked out with Laura this morning…can you say gasser?!

    12 Power Snatches (66#)
    10 Push Ups
    13 rounds

    It’s been about an hour since I finished this and my traps are starting to speak loudly so they’ll be screaming by nightfall. First three rounds were unbroken then – snatches were 6/6 and push ups started with no less than 5. It helps to remember that form doesn’t really come into play with snatches in this wod. I When you get winded, have to remember that you’re supposed to be winded so just keep going.

    • Nice work LaMar. It really hit me by surprise too. I did the same thing, began to break it up on round 4. Surprisingly enough, round 13 was unbroken snatches, but I didn’t have it in me to complete round 14.

      13 rounds, 12 snatches, 6 pushups

  8. Managed 11 rounds and can’t really imagine doing more. (Women’s bar, knee push ups) Wish I could have stuck around to watch Laura and La Mar!!

  9. That article is disturbing….I saw a show about all of the junk food that is sold in schools…hard to believe its allowed. Then again, Reagan said that ketchup was a vegetable…

  10. Sorry I have been MIA – but I am helping a friend out in the evenings for a couple of weeks. Plus I am still trying to get over this crud. I should be back soon and hopefully some on the weekends. Congrats Joe and Zeke!! And I thought one kid was a life changer. Can’t wait to meet the kids.

    • Come back….come back! lol!

  11. Wanted 12 rounds, but didn’t make it… Really coulda made it-shoulda made it, but you know how that goes ;-)

    10 rounds and 2 snatches

  12. I got to go with Damon (not exactly, he started about 3 min before me ;) but it was still an honor!

    10 + 9 Rx

    Boy, the snatches early were OK but got a lot harder later.
    Same with pushups…I have been working on them but boy, when you have to do them after snatches, it is tough!
    Still, its fun to get to work on snatches for a few wods, they don’t come up that often.

  13. Feel like I should have done better on this, but happy that I did it Rx. Big moves like this are truly exhausting for me — still need to work on accessing more power from the hips. Always room for improvement and next time I’ll get more.

    9 rounds + 7 power snatches

  14. (44#)

    11 rounds + 12 snatches

    • nice work, kristy!

  15. 9 rounds even and Rx

  16. Helen 8:34

  17. 6 rounds + 12 snatches + 5 pushups

  18. 10 plus 12 (33#)
