I’m pretty excited about wrapping up this Whole30. I’ve been thinking about what I miss the most and I’m really looking forward to a flat white on Thursday (the 31st). I’ve made many flat whites while I was on the Whole30 but watching other people enjoy them, well that has taken it’s toll. 2 new coffee houses have opened up since I started the Whole30 (espresso room in Belconnen and Coffee Lab in the city) and I’ve been super keen to taste their milky coffees so that’s probably what I’ll do on Thursday.

Put up another Podcast yesterday, chatting about the CrossFit Games, Open Gym and Competitor Training Programs on offer at Adapt with Ryan, Craig and James

In other news I’ve been watching the CrossFit Games over the weekend and I’m pretty stoked to be part of the whole community (running a box and training). I wrote a post on the Adapt website yesterday: “Are you not Entertained?” Read it, you might get excited too!
