Kate's sugar free granola!

SUGAR RAY LEONARD!?!?!?!?!?! SERIOUSLY WORLD?!?!?!?

That's right, Sugar Ray Leonard has joined the cast of "Dancing with the STARS", I will be boycotting that show because I am staying sugar free!

In all honesty, I'm boycotting that show because it sucks.


Once again it seems that Kate is MVP'ing this whole thing! She is doing Bikram yoga like a champ and sent this lovely message:


"20 minutes of an abs class then a 1 hour cardio class (BodyAttack). I'm having a hard time finding granola in the store that doesn't have lots of sugar, so I decided to make another batch of my own. Used honey and agave nectar for the sweetness and used coconut chips instead of sweetened shredded coconut. Very nice blog today about Roberta. I'm sure Alexis appreciated it. And way to go Alexis for giving up sugar during this tough time!"

2 cups berries, 1 banana, 1 cup spinach, a little light silk

Very kind words, and she is right, WAY TO GO ALEXIS!


Stephanie P is taking off with a vengeance!!!!! She is eating right and working out! She sent in some great pics and 100SFD's is really proud of her!!!! GO STEFF!!!! Here is a nice morning smoothie recipe she sent me ->


Boring Beezus left CrossFit and moved on to greener pastures with "Ballet Burn"! The name does sound a little "pansy" but she assures me that its awesome! We are all glad that you're happy Beez!


Schwartz did a 9 mile run the other day, with a GIANT hill! 40 minutes up and 30 back down!

Cadance, such a fat ass!

Jessica Dean did a 3.8 mile hike... Hey Jessica, I hope you hiked off all that guilt for cheating on us here at the 100SFD's... This "may" be the last time I bring this up!


Winters finished week 1 of P90X.. she says it hurts so much she can barely brush her teeth!


Taylor has committed to getting into some yoga classes, he has acknowledged flexibility as his weakness and is going to address it! So proud you Tay!


D-Thomp and Emily are shredding in DC killing it with P90X. D-Thomp's cat Cadance however is a lazy bastard, and is ZERO motivation during shred time!

Denlin has been sick for quite a few days! get better D$!

Girls Night has left the flu behind and is back from her trip to Jackson Hole! She got her sweat on up there in Wyoming and came up with quite a few work outs of her own! She told me about an interesting one called "Hooking up"... I didn't ask but I'm assuming its a LOT of cardio! ;)

Better late than never!!! Lannie got his body fat % done yesterday! 14.5% fat and a lung capacity of 4.225L (I don't know what the EFF that means but its NEWS, right?) He also needs to start consuming 3300 calories a day! Very cool LAN-MAN!

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

PEOPLE ARE SHREDDING!!!!!

So, my video about Kobe Bryant and Bikram Yoga got pulled down... So I just renamed it and put it on youtube.. Lets see if "The Man" tears it down sort of like cupcakes are trying to tear me down in my dreams at night! Seriously... nightmares.. about confections?!

Molly did what she calls the "Molly Loop" which is 2.5 miles with situps and free weights! she wasn't full yet so for dessert she took a yoga class! WOW!

Schwartz ran 7 miles yesterday and is hitting the gym tonight! There is no stopping that guy!

Lannie went for a walk and passed a Cinnabon, and after licking the window for 30 minutes moved on and  remained sugar free! We admire your dedication LanMan!

Mike Kerner upped the number of mileage he usually does, he has been steady with 2 miles but went 2.5 today! Hey Captain Cardio, watch your ass cause Kerner is gunning for you!

Mike's wonderful mom Wendy bought a TON of girl scout cookies!!!!! She put them in the freezer for when we get there in July for her birthday!!!!! There is a reason we call her Mama Kerner! 

I went with Girls Night to the gym today, I am going to help her post her first blog tonight hopefully! SHE KILLED IT THIS MORNING!!! It was inspiring to watch!

Baby Kate is up north canning food (then not sharing it) and pushing through Bikram Yoga classes... Kobe is proud I'm sure of it. Lets see if he mentions her in his post-game questioning tonight

Jessica D is hiking hiking hiking!!!! 3.8 miles yesterday!!

Winters texted me that she has been listening to Ke$ha to work out, I'm disappointed in her and am taking a poll if we are going to have to throw her out of the 100SFD's!

KOOL AID HAS BOOBS!!! well, not yet but his pec's are getting shredded! Yesterday he did a chest workout and a 2 mile run!

DThomp came up with a new sugar free post workout shake, 6oz milk, 2 frozen strawberries, and whey protein has no sugar and is vanilla flavored. He is turning down cookies (see right) literally EVERY DAY at work... his strength is limitless! 

Ash and I are resting today, yesterday got ugly while we were going into "LABOR PAINS" 

EVERYONE PLEASE SEND PICS!!! THEY KEEP THE BLOG GOING!!!!

Sunday, Bloody Funday! & BTW... Kobe Bryant is reading the blog!

"Ash, I'll start with the little urchin that has the sign and you choke out the other two! GO!!!"

It was a very intense Sunday for the 100SFD crew!

Ash and I went for a drive and heard the call of the sugar sirens (greek mythology) off in the distance. We got close enough to smell the Tag-alongs but last second punched them hard in the face and ran off with our dignity intact... It was close people... Almost too close!

Schwartz went wild in the "Valley Ford Relays".  His team won a respectable silver medal, each leg was 2.75 miles and our boy Schwartz averaged 5:30 pace per mile!!! He said he gave it 100% and basically felt like shit the rest of the day because of his herculean efforts, bloody funday for him!

Girls Night tried her first (and last) Bikram yoga class! She had to leave after an hour because of the heat, she didn't stop yakking her guts up till the night time. I asked her to send a picture, and she did. Then she immediately begged me not to publish it on the blog... it was hard not to... but i will respect her wishes. Bloody Sunday for her!

I actually recorded this Kobe clip off "Sports Center" this morning! I'm pretty sure that Kobe had been reading the blog and had Girls Nights awesome BLOODY FUNDAY YAK-FEST on his mind! The best part is that one of the commentators said "Whats Bikram yoga?" and the other guys says "No idea, but Kobe seems to know".. I guess those morons arent reading our blog! In fact, I bet they are eating candy bars right now!... Do I envy them? .... Maybe just a little.

Molly is a massage therapist by trade, she knocked out 5 yesterday! That's like squeezing a fist for 5 straight hours! And then she did pushups! BEAST!

Mike Kerner did a 2 mile walk/run! Technically i think that's a jog, but I'm not parting hairs!

Jessica D did a 4 mile hike and climbed 1150 ft in elevation! Bloody Funday JD!!!

Ashley and I went for an hour long run with Lazer. Some people run next to their dogs,  I raise the stakes! I carry my 25 pound dog! Gotta get my shred in somehow! Then I went and played street hockey for a few hours! That is tiring! I had a couple good falls, scrapes, and bruises, making it a BLOODY FUNDAY for me!

We used to call winters "Bloody Sunday" but then we realized the nickname Winters is better.  She went for a 2 mile walk with her mom this weekend!

Weekend Update... not with Kevin Nealon!

Hey Kevin, We know you"re reading

Ironically I saw Kevin Nealon shopping in Whole Foods the other day... I wish I had seen him buying sugary things but he was buying fruit.. I bet he is following the blog!

Its time for your weekend update,  I had my first SUPER BAD sugar cravings, I swear people that bake brownies and/or cookies within smelling distance of my house are terrorists... I know this to be a truth! I told Heather about my cravings and she told me to "Suck on a splenda packet"... Hey Heather... SUCK FARTS! (inside joke)

Pandora has an advertisement on the iphone thats there ALL FUCKING DAY!!! (see pic of the screen grab I did) I happily paid the $35 to get them to take the cupcake away from me... was it worth it.. probably not, but if it was like a picture of your ex and you two had a nasty breakup you would pay the $35 to get rid of it too! DONT YOU DARE JUDGE ME!!!!

Alexis is taking some good walks on the beach and played wii for an hour yesterday, she said she got sore... I'm not sure if that makes the wii look amazing or is she is amazingly out of shape... I'm thinking its the wii that's amazing... I think.

Molly fought some cravings for dessert last night, she won.. congrats Molly!

Vanessa said "no thank you" to her mothers birthday cake... i miss you cake... oh how i miss you

Girls Night is "sucking honey out of the beeeeeez nest" .. the first few days are easy people.. this is where is gets hard! If you offered me frosting served off of Osama Bin Ladens hairy nipples i would have a hard time saying no at this point.

Jessica went on a nice 2.5 mile hike with her dude Seth and did P90X with abs and plyometrics ... but fuck that... I want to talk about cake!!!! ... I also miss ice cream... Its a real love affair I have with this sugar.. is it love if you aren't loved back?

Forgive... but never forget

D Thompson turned down some cupcakes and donuts at work.. I dont know if I could have stayed strong if I actually had a real job (nobody pretend for one second that hand modeling is a real job) where people were always tempting me with sugary goodness... good work D Thomp

On another note, my mom texted me the following "rum cake" when i texted her back "WTF?" she simply replied " ;) " ...  She is a wonderful woman and has almost 10 years sober. So, I texted her back "red wine ;)"... TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME NANCY!!!!


Baby Kate is out there hammering ass!!! Here is a clip from an email she sent me...


"Intervals on a stationary bike (with arm Resistance too) - 30sec fast/30sec super-slow for 30min

+ Nordictrac treadmill - 525ft elevation gain (got up to 18% incline) and 0.7miles in 15min - then walked it out to finish off the mile

+ Row machine - 3000m in 15min

Then treated myself to a hot tub soak and sauna."

There is an 85% chance will have a six pack of abdominals by noon tomorrow!

SHREDDING NEWS - Thursday, February 17th

Vanessa hit up an aerobics weight lifting class. Her and Mitch both are working on Mitch's infamous catering truck (The Green Truck, see right) feeding Kobe Bryant and crew on a Mercedes commercial. Kobe, Mitch, and V-Rod should have no problems fighting sugar urges since all they serve is organic, green, and uber healthy!

Stephanie is in San Fran fighting urges at Starbucks this morning, she is ordering her lattes "sugar free" and her p90x is in full swing. Its Kenpo tonight!

Denlin is on a Lil-Wayne shoot all day with our good friend Cheese, shes fighting the craft service table... its a bitch that craft service!!!

Kool-Aid got in a 2 mile run followed by a 1 mile cool down walk with the dog, followed by a bit of abdominal work!

Word on the street is that Schwartz hasn't stopped doing keigels since yesterday, needless to say Beezus is excited to see him put those muscles to use the next time they see each other! He also got in a 6 mile run at 7:00 pace per mile. That Schvitz is a BEAST! cant wait to see him perform at the mudder!

Kane Train has a serious "EYE OF THE TIGER"

Girls Night is taking a off day from Kenny Kane since hes been giving her an ass kicking pretty much every day!

Speaking of Kenny, our good friend Taylor is debating hopping on board the "Kane Train" and going a few sessions with 100SFD's favorite trainer!

2 Weeks till Shred

Hello Shredders!

Congratulations on being brave enough to begin this challenge! 100 days is a LONG time, so we are all in for a marathon of no sugar and getting ripped. Be prepared for lots of cravings, cranky moods, and getting angry when all your friends are eating birthday cake and you can't. It will be worth it in the end.

This year's challenge is basically very similar to a contest we held last year that lasted 80 days, however we decided 100 days just seems like so much more fun.  This year there are significantly less people, and no money involved.  The focus shouldn't be about "winning", but rather making a lifestyle change and seeing improvements in yourself.

That being said, there is a very small amount of homework to do before the challenge begins on February 15th. Here's what you need to do:

1. Get a Body Fat % test! - These shouldn't be too hard to find. Plenty of gyms and health clubs offer them. We found a mobile truck that does an underwater test that is the most accurate. It might run you a few dollars, depending on where you go. If you make it the full 100 days, you will retest yourself at the end and see what % of body fat you lost.
2. Your "before weight". This is optional. It's not a weight losing contest or anything, it's just interesting to see how people's bodies react to 100 days without sugar.
3. Your "before photo". This is not optional. I know some people wont be comfortable with this, but it's just like going to the beach.  Show as much skin as possible (bathing suits recommended) front view, side views and back view.

Here are the basic rules of the challenge:

• anything that is considered "sweets" is NOT allowed. Desserts, cookies, cakes, ice cream, and anything made tons of refined sugar are NOT allowed.

• ketchup and BBQ sauce is also NOT allowed (more sugar than sodas)

• natural sweetener IS allowed (agave nectar, honey, etc.)

• all beer and wine IS allowed

• Splenda and other artificial sweeteners ARE allowed as well. 

Basically, if you're questioning it, check the label. Please don't get caught up in the details of this. You have to make healthy decisions for yourself. This is more about kick-starting a healthy lifestyle, not about being anal about what is in a salad dressing. For instance, bread has some sugar in it, but you can eat that. We can't be monks, but we can make good choices!

Please enjoy this blog as we'll be posting often throughout the 100 days. This can be our way of seeing how everyone is doing, tracking our progress, sharing photos, temptations, etc.  You can also sign in to leave comments if you want.  If you think you'd like to contribute some posts on this blog, let us know so we can sign you up as an author.  

Now lets go kick sugar's ass!!!

xoxo,

Ash & Ty
