G7 baby!!
It has been a while since my last post. The TAMIU semester has officially started, so I have been pretty busy with my job there and with G7. For those of you that don’t know, I am an instructor at TAMIU. Basically, if you can’t find me at TAMIU, I’m at G7 (and vice versa). For the first time this week, I am sprawled out on my sofa, updating my blog. Here is the latest and greatest.
Three days ago, I attempted making mayonnaise…twice! It was an epic failure. I followed the recipe posted on Mark’s Daily Apple and had my mother overlooking my every move. It is a difficult recipe, and I really don’t know what I did wrong. I ended up with a yellowish looking substance in a jar that is sitting in my refrigerator. My mother and I both didn’t know if the mayonnaise I made was how the recipe intended it to be. If you have any experience with making mayonnaise and have some advice to offer, please let me know. Also, if anyone decides to try the recipe out and has success with it, help me out! In the meantime, I am going to continue searching for other primal mayonnaise recipes that will hopefully be easier for me to follow and have success with.
In other news, G7′s George Cuellar is off to San Antonio this weekend to become Level I CrossFit certified. Good luck, George! I know you will represent G7 well.
Lastly, (and what I am most excited to tell you about) I had some great success at G7 yesterday. About two months ago, my super awesome coach asked me to list out my short and long term goals for performance that I wanted to accomplish through training. One of the items on my list was the handstand push-up. For those of you familiar with the gymnastics movement, you already know that it is a difficult task to accomplish (especially if you’re female). Before last night, any attempt at a handstand push-up, without assistance, ended up with my head hitting the ground below me and no push-up whatsoever. Last night was a different story. Check out the video below.

It’s still hard to believe that is me in the video. I successfuly executed 2 handstand push-ups!! It is something I never thought I could do, and it’s definitely a great achievement that I am extremely proud of. A special thank you to Dutch and G7 for all the strength and endurance that you have helped me accomplish so far. G7 baby!!
Thas nice. Congratulations.
