In February, we received a note from Captain Lauren Guilbert, trainer and athlete at CrossFit Ramstein in Germany. Lauren wrote to tell us about Ramstein's successful implementation of our Whole30 program, which developed into a 45 day affiliate-wide nutritional challenge called the "RAM45". [...]

Thanks for your patience - we realize posts have been strung out a bit over the last few weeks. Here's a quick update on where we are and what we're doing. [...]

We hope at this point, our Whole9 readers know how much we enjoy sharing good stuff with the community. (We like it so much, in fact, that we've recently made it our full-time jobs!) We've offered up everything from custom workouts to nutrition advice to injury rehabilitation tips, freely distributing all of this information to anyone and everyone interested in learning, sharing and participating in our little community. [...]

Bear with us for another day or two as we complete some behind-the-scenes site maintenance. The blog looks a little funny, and the fish oil calculator is still in the process of being converted (or whatever our web guru does with stuff like that), but we’ll be back up and running ASAP.

We're on the road a lot, and while we still "make" about half our meals while traveling (either packing a cooler or picking up food at the local Whole-Foods style market), we do dine out quite a bit. Unfortunately, most restaurants offer a serious set of challenges in our quest to Eat Good Food. [...]

Part of our nutritional recommendations for all of our clients includes recommending the right dose of fish oil. We've written about it before, Robb Wolf talks about fish oil in every one of his podcasts and seminars and even the CrossFit Journal got in on the action a few months back. The general consensus is that fish oil is good for us, and we don't get a lot of push-back from clients when it comes to actually taking the stuff. The trouble starts when clients say, "So how much should I take?" [...]

We have amazing, fantastic, big-time news - some frexciting changes are taking place here at Whole9. What's the word? After months of planning, Dallas and I have both decided to leave our 9-5 day jobs, so we can take the Whole9 full time. [...]

Our last couple of posts have been kind of, well, heavy. First we unceremoniously took away your “heart-healthy” Quaker oats, then we went public with our break-up with CrossFit. (Technically, I suppose we were dumped, but no girl wants to admit THAT to her friends.) Since it's been such a tough week, I decided to put a stop to all this seriousness and get back to my roots - an Urban-Gets-Diesel style training post. [...]

On February 16th, we received word from CrossFit Headquarters that our affiliation (as CrossFit Whole9) will not be eligible for renewal in 2010. CrossFit wrote: [...]
