Back To Work & Working Out

So I started my new job on Monday and all I can say is that I'm so excited to be opening this new casino (The M Resort). We're scheduled to open on March 1st and I know this casino will be a great place to work at. My managers are cool and my co-workers are great. The property is really nice and the rooms are gorgeous!! I may not be getting paid like I was when I was a casino host, but I know I will enjoy this new job and hopefully, I'll be able to work my way up the ladder with this company like I was able to with The Rio.

I've been keeping up with my CrossFit training and I'm excited for April when I'll be a Level 1 Certified CrossFit Trainer. I recently started the Paleo diet and I've been good at it. Basically, this diet is based on the Paleolithic times (Stone Ages). The diet consists of foods that the cave men would have eaten which included: meat, fruits, vegetables, nut, & fish. I have to cut out all starches (except for yams or sweet potatos) & dairy. The Paleo diet eliminates all the processed foods that we eat everyday....in reality these processed foods are very unhealthy. Many think I'm crazy to be on this diet, but I feel great and some people even say it looks like I'm getting more toned. Some may say that I don't need to be on a diet, but it's not a diet to lose weight, it's a diet to live a healthier life style and there's nothing wrong with that.

Here are a few pictures and videos of recent CrossFit workouts:
