Let's get back to blogging.

If you have been on the CFNT website today or the CFNT FB page you know that we did not win the first prize drawing (pause......Sigh).  But we did come in with a good showing in our first open performance.  We scored middle of the pack and are in a good position to do well for the rest of the challenge.  I am proud of all of your hard work thus far! 

Remember 50$ challenge is on the line this week take a pic with your healthy food items at the grocery store (you must also be in the picture) no going to Google Images and pulling up pics.  We all gotta shop and eat so let's win that fiddy bones.

The Men are making a come back.

Open WOD 14.1 just got announced!  10 minutes of doubleunders and snatches.  What more could a CrossFitter hope for!

Good work on staying on top of blogging.  We have not talked at all about goals,  or what you should eat to meet those goals.  The good news is that all of you already have the work out part of this fitness challenge in the bag.  Come to CFNT and give it your all during every class.

Here is the official CrossFit HQ write up on diet:

The CrossFit dietary prescription is as follows:
Protein should be lean and varied and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.
Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for about 40% of your total caloric load.
Fat should be predominantly monounsaturated and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.
Calories should be set at between .7 and 1.0 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass depending on your activity level. The .7 figure is for moderate daily workout loads and the 1.0 figure is for the hardcore athlete.

What Should I Eat?
In plain language, base your diet on garden vegetables, especially greens, lean meats, nuts and seeds, little starch, and no sugar. That's about as simple as we can get. Many have observed that keeping your grocery cart to the perimeter of the grocery store while avoiding the aisles is a great way to protect your health. Food is perishable. The stuff with long shelf life is all suspect. If you follow these simple guidelines you will benefit from nearly all that can be achieved through nutrition.

Look at your blog and what you have been eating.  If it is not what is described above then make the appropriate changes.

I am proud of you guys.

Day 2

Big News It is official we are now Team: EPIA!!!!!!!!
our ladies are setting the trend I now refer to them as Dynamite or T-n-T, because the are explosively awesome! 

Here is the deal guys we need to come together for some collective goal setting.  These should help us reach the scoring goals for this challenge meaning losing inches while increasing our capacity to be more FIT.  As you post your food logs today at the end I would ask that you post personal goals for yourself during the duration of the challenge.  Keep them as specific, realistic, and attainable for the time frame that we have to work with.  I hope none of you are offended by poor grammar or misspelled words because reading my blogs posts are going to hurt if that is that case.  Stay strong, eat well, and make it into the box even when you want to stay home!
