One down, five to go

February 8th, 2010

We are through one week of our nutrition challenge.  Can you vocalize your goal?  What is your why?  Whatever it is, write it down in your food log so you know why you are giving up certain foods and drinks you think you cannot live without.

We know you can.  And remember that we are not suggesting that you are adopting the guidelines for the food challenge for the rest of your life.  We are eating strictly for only six weeks to clean up the foods we eat and to improve the quality of what we eat.  Hopefully, we will feel better, look better, and perform better.

Also remember, you may see a dip in your performance during the first few weeks.  Fear not!  You are changing your fuel and your body will object at first.  This will pass.

Keep up the good work and be strong.  It’s only six weeks…and only five are left.

Deadlift – 5-5-5

Then:

Max dead hang pull ups – three sets

What the?

What the?

Onshore Inversions

Today was a bunch of fun.  Practice and progressions for the following:

Handstand

Rings

Everyone had fun and everyone got upside down.  But was this a workout?  Hell, yes it was.  Just ask a gymnast.

Tomorrow is the day to bring your food log so we can look at what you have been eating and make any adjustments you may need or answer any questions you have.  Keep your goals in mind as the reason(s) you are cleaning up your food and improving the quality of what you eat.

We had a question about Jicama.  For our challenge, let’s consider it okay in moderation.  Jicama

Quality in, quality out.
