Welcome Emily
Lea
Check out this article posted today on Mark’s Daily Apple on the benefits of dietary fat.
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/high-fat-diet-healthy-safe/#axzz1wwKw3Pul

Many of you know my story about how I shot down a co-worker who criticized my diet when she saw me eat an avocado after I politely refused a muffin at morning meeting. She went on to inform me that (1) avocados would make me fat, and (2) muffins were healthier. If I read this article I might have been able to come up with a nicer response than the one I had for her….although it is unlikely that I would have actually used it…However, most of you are better people than I am and you will find (especially with the Paleo Diet) that you often have to ‘defend’ your lifestyle when people attack it out of ignorance and/or insecurity about their own dietary choices. Hopefully this article with give you the information to come up with a more educated and polite response than the one that I gave my muffin loving co-worker.

Nick C 11:48am
Terrible picture! Wtf am I doing next time I'll try to look more intense and not like I'm about to cry!

Liz N 11:49am
Lea, that is a great article.  I've saved it as a favorite for future reference.  I still love that story about your muffin-loving co-worker.  Cracks me up.  So tempted to disregard doctor's orders so I can do this WOD... ;-)

Melissa V 1:18pm
I was proud today that I could dead lift over 100 lbs until I saw that Liz can dead lift 260! WTF Liz?

Melissa, you should still be proud!  Good Job!

Lea, I think you should share what you said.

Chad H 6:56pm
Thanks for the instruction tonight Ryan..great info as always!!  Registered for the crossfit hope workout and can't wait for the beat down I will receive :)

Lea 7:33pm
''Don't worry, when I get fat I'll switch to muffins''

Nick C 7:48pm
I like muffins! Lea maybe you should figure out a way to make avocado muffins?

Alicia 7:49pm
Avocado Muffins...mmmmmmmm. Did somebody say muffins?

Kelly 7:52pm
Perfect, Lea!

Scott H 7:59pm
Haha Lea- that's friggin awesome! I get a lot of crap for my avocado habit too, I usually ask if they want compare guts!
Nice pic Kevin!

Liz N 8:45pm
Melissa V, do not be that impressed with my number. Sadly, I'm a one-trick pony. I will be more impressed with myself the day I can run like Missy and lift like Krystal. ;-)

Keedran 9:31pm
Way to go everyone!  I am bummed I missed this one as well.

Kara G 9:46pm
Lea - I love that line!  And I am all in for avocado muffins if somebody comes up with a recipe! :)

Lea 10:00pm
Dudes, avocado muffins sound disgusting...if I am going to splurge on a muffin I'm going to go all out...chocolate muffin (aka cupcake!)

Also, Nick, you don't look like you're going to cry...you have more of a ''let me get one more rep before I squeak out the fart I'm holding in'' face...give yourself more credit man!
