Movember
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.
Once registered at www.movember.com, men start Movember 1st clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.
Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.
At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Partés held around the world by Movember, for Movember.

Not So Enchanted
Trying to stay Paleo while Camping
A full week has past since I started the Essential 21/30 Program. Things have been great so far, the only real difference thats noticible for me at this point is my increased energy level throughout the day. Im equating this to my higher consumption of Fats and regurlar use of Univera Xtra. Limiting my consumption of fruit is not necessarily challenging for me, it just forces me to become more aware of how much fruit Im eating as Im only allowed 4 servings. Through these 7 days Ive managed to get 2 X's on the Essential accountability board. Both these X's come after a weekend camping at Enchanted Rock and are a result of having a few brewskies. A friend called me out after seeing these X's on the board and I told him that my goal was to not have anymore than 3 x's for the challnge. To this he replied " Why set yourself up for failure?" . After thinking about this, I realized he was right, the only reason I gave myself a three X grace was to lower the bar for what I was willing to hold myself accountable to. Unacceptable, I made a committment and I need to hold myself to the level of my committment.
I don't even like Bass beer...Im back on it!

Essential 21/30
Yesterday marked the 1st day of the Esssential 21/30 Nutrition Program. This is a 30 day nutrition program founded by Coach Jarrod Freshour and Coach Eric Burnett of Westlake Crossfit. I decided to start this challenge for a few reasons. One, it's been 6 months since I have been on a STRICT nutrition plan. I typically only adhere to said nutrition plans when Im gearing up toward certain competitions, and since injuring myself and didn't have this reason. Now with that being said, I am still committed to eating clean and healthy competition or not. The main things I mean by strict is absolutely no "cheat meals" , alcohol and fats with every meal (including snacks). Well the 21/30 plan starts off with a "STRICT" 21 days - which means I will again have to bypass the occasional bun with my burger and not have any social drinks. These are probably the two biggest adjustments for, along with eliminating cheese. This 21 day strict will be essential in restoring the body away from metabolic derangement. The 2nd reason I'm doing this is for the reason of being able to relate to what our members may be experiencing as they embark on the same journey. The 3rd reason is to help get me back to preparing my own food, right now about 75 percent of my weekly meals are eaten "out. The challenge should be fun and I'm excited to see where this takes my overall wellness!
