Stunner Shades
One of the coolest things I did was subscribed to Stunner of the Month. For $9/mth I get a new pair of sunglasses on my door step on the 15th of every month. My girl Chelsea is in as well and we have a BLAST with our new shades!

Lazy vs Hustle...your pick...
According to Dictionary.com "hustle" means:
[huhs-uhl]
verb, -tled, -tling, noun
–verb (used without object)
1. to proceed or work rapidly or energetically: to hustle about putting a house in order.
2. to push or force one's way; jostle or shove.
4. Slang . to earn one's living by illicit or unethical means.
5. Slang . (of a prostitute) to solicit clients.
I don't like this song. Never have, never will. Sure there are days that I don't want to get up and do stuff, but how are you going to move forward in life if you don't get through the rough days?
Think about where we, the world, would be today if no one hustled? How would sporting events go if no one hustled? Better yet, would there be a crossfit games next weekend? But because athletes hustle, you have a box to workout in. Because athletes hustle you have programming to go with that box. Because athletes hustle you have coaches who want more for you than you do yourself. Because athletes hustle there will be a 2011 crossfit games. Because athletes hustle my box is sending 3 athletes to the 2011 crossfit games.
The LAST thing I want attached to my name is "lazy".

Bacon and Currant Pork Burgers with Spicy Orange Dressing
What you need:
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- 8 strips bacon, diced
- 1 orange, peeled and diced
- 1 8oz can green chiles
- 1/2 7oz can coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon fat of choice (I used bacon fat)
- First, heat up your grill. If you are not using a grill, forget this step.
- Now dice up your bacon. Maybe to 1 inch long strips/rectangles and throw them in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
- While the bacon cooks, add your ground pork, currants, and spices to a bowl and mix together. Once the bacon is done cooking, add the cooled bacon to the mixture and mix all together.
- Form into patties, however big you would like, and throw those little suckers on your hot grill. If you are not using a grill and just want to use your frying pan, pour the excess bacon fat into a jar/can to use later and add your pork burgers directly to that hot pan. They will need to cook for about 5-6 minutes/side depending how thick you made them and where you decide to cook them.
- While the burgers cook on grill or pan, pull out a smaller saute pan, and add your fat of choice along with your minced garlic clove and heat up under medium-high heat.
- Once the garlic smell fills the air, add your coconut milk, oranges, and green chiles to the mixture.
- Add a bit of salt and pepper to the mix and stir. Turn the heat down low and let simmer for about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the burgers are cooked through*, top them off with the spicy orange dressing.
- Then eat.

Fun Burgers
Fun-Burgers!
2 lbs grass fed ground beef
Sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste
5 eggs, fried
10 bacon strips
4 sweet potatoes, grated
1 pound of broccoli florets
Lettuce mix, sliced dill pickles and tomato slices
Mix the ground beef and spices together and form into hamburger patties and set aside. Fry the bacon, remove from the pan and set aside. Shred the sweet potatoes in a food processor or with a cheese grater. Fry the grated sweet potatoes in some of the bacon grease. While the sweet potatoes are cooking, pan fry your burgers, about 4 minutes per side. Remove the burgers from the pan, set aside and fry the eggs in some grass fed butter or coconut oil. Of course you should have several children helping with all stages of the process and somehow in the middle of the above madness, mix up and bake some of the coconut flour drop biscuits and throw the broccoli on a cookie sheet, drizzle with coconut oil and bake at 400 with the biscuits for about the same amount of time.
